Kurt's expression turned ashen.

As he was about to continue searching, he turned and noticed a girl in a blue dress in the crowdedoutpatient hall downstairs. She carried a handmade cloth backpack while walking towards the exit.Kurt did not care that there were many people around. He rushed to the safety barrier and shouted,“Vivian!”

After he shouted, Vivian paused her step and turned to look at him.

Kurt could not say anything.

He could never forget how her eyes looked at that moment.

Kurt could not put them in words. When he saw her glare, he could only think of one thing—he wasdoomed!

His mind went black.

Then, he ran to the stairs and rushed down to stop Vivian. However, she had disappeared by thetime he reached the outpatient hall.

It was the first time she left him of her own volition.

Previously, she had always liked to stick close to him, and he could never get her to leave him alone.However, he had hurt her so much this time that she decided to fulfill his wish and left him.

Kurt was shaking all over.

Meanwhile, Vivian got into a taxi. Suddenly, she could not hold back anymore, and tears rolleddown her cheeks.

She had finally broken down.

Vivian was only seventeen and was still a child. She finally could not take it after holding back for solong.

Her heart was like a castle wall under prolonged attack, leaving it with numerous holes and cracks.Suddenly, an arrow appeared out of nowhere and crumbled it completely.

Kurt's words were really harsh.

It hurt Vivian so much that she could not stop crying for a long time.

When the taxi was nearing the airport, she finally took out the communication device she used tocontact her brothers.

“Matt, I'm going home. Please take good care of yourself,” Vivian said.

Vivian did not want him to worry.

Therefore, she forced herself to stop crying and put up a casual tone.

Matteo was probably in an exam, so he did not reply. Unexpectedly, lan, who had not been incontact for some time, heard her message and asked immediately, “Where are you going?”

“Ah?” Vivian panicked slightly when she heard lan’s voice.

Unlike Matt, lan is unusually sharp and clever. If I were a little careless, he would notice something waswrong.

“I... lan, I'm returning to Yartran to study,” Vivian answered.

As expected, lan instantly noticed that something was off. “Study? Haven't you dropped out of thatschool? Who told you to go back there? Was it Daddy or Mommy?”

Vivian began to panic.

She took a long time to calm down after hearing lan's interrogative tone. Then, she forced herself tosound calm and said, “No, it is my decision. Lady Adalyn called me and said she would arrange forme to attend Royal Academy. Therefore, I need to head there immediately.”

“Really?” lan asked skeptically.

"Yes, it's true. lan, I can't chat with you anymore because I need to board the plane now.” Vivianwanted to hang up as soon as possible.

She feared she would break down into tears if she continued speaking.

Thankfully, lan did not question her further after hearing her explanation. Then, he ended the call.After that, Vivian ran into the airport.

However, she did not know that lan had contacted someone else soon after that. Meanwhile, Kurtwas still at the hospital and had just obtained access to the hospital's surveillance record. As he wasabout to rush off to pursue Vivian, the phone in the security room started ringing.

"Hello? Who is this?” the security personnel asked.

“Pass the phone to the person opposite you now!” A stern voice sounded from the phone, causingthe security personnel to shudder with fear.

Who is this? How did he know to call here?

He nervously passed the phone to Kurt. “Someone... someone asked to speak to you.”

Kurt was surprised.

He stood stunned for a moment before accepting the phone. “Hello?”

"Haven't you gone too far this time? How many times had this happened already? Do you think youcan gain more trust from those people there if you hurt Vivi continuously?”

A familiar male voice sounded from the phone. The man's words were sharp as blades, piercingstraight at Kurt.

Kurt narrowed his eyes.

Is that lan? How did he replace me here? Furthermore, how did lan know about this matter? When did hereplace out about it? Even Matteo, who is in Elysium, remains unaware. lan is far away at the base. Howdid he know so much about this matter?

Kurt felt intimidated by this person who was only two years older than him.

He was the only person apart from his father who could make him feel this way.

“You... How did you know about this?” Kurt asked.

"Why would I not know? You have deep hatred toward Elysium. Moreover, you have been planninghow to return there and take revenge. The worm in your body and the Blood Flute are yourweapons for revenge against Elysium, aren't they?” lan replied.

Then, he paused before continuing, “Since you are that clever, do you think you will get captured onthat mountain? Kurt, don't you dare underestimate the Hayeses. Matteo may be kind and trusting,and my father is not around. However, I am keeping an eye on you. While I allow you to feignignorance in Elysium and didn't stop Matteo from helping you, this is not an excuse for you to hurtVivil”

lan spoke the last sentence with a threatening tone.

Kurt's thoughts were a mess.q
