Chapter 237
* * *
The sound of rain crashed down like a torrent, and I opened my eyes.
I found myself staring directly into green eyes.
Those eyes that had been watching over me throughout the entire night.
“Good morning, Alex.”
I greeted him drowsily and nestled into his embrace. The moment my body pressed softly against his chest, Alexandro Adis stiffened abruptly.
“….”
That reaction jolted me awake instantly.
‘What’s wrong?’
How strange.
For days now we had intertwined our bodies without a single thread of clothing between us—so why the sudden surprise?
‘Could it be.’
Had his memories returned?
“…Alex?”
The moment I called his name cautiously, Alexandro Adis pulled me closer by the waist and stroked my hair.
I exhaled softly at the familiar touch.
Not yet. He was still Alex.
“It’s raining heavily. We won’t be able to go to the Sea today.”
“I suppose not.”
“We’ll go next time.”
“Yes.”
“Would you like to sleep more?”
“Can I sleep more?”
“Of course.”
“But you’ll be bored.”
“It’s fine. Sleep. I’ll wait.”
I laughed silently.
His voice evoked quiet winter nights. I loved his calm, deep tone. I loved the way his hand stroked my hair.
But I knew the truth. This couldn’t continue.
‘I need to return to Adis soon.’
I was waiting for his memories to return, but it was taking longer than expected.
Yet I couldn’t remain like this indefinitely. There was far too much work waiting for me.
‘After this sleep, when I wake up, I’ll tell him then.’
I closed my eyes.
Soon, a comfortable peace found me.
* * *
Once I fell asleep, Alexandro Adis rose from the Chamber.
His headaches were intensifying. He could no longer conceal them with ease.
Alexandro Adis endured the stabbing pain in his head as he left the house. He had decided to shop at the store—using it as an excuse to escape.
Right now, something like molten lava was roiling inside his head.
Fearing it would burst at any moment, dreading what might happen if Kanna Adis were nearby when it did, he hastily unfurled an umbrella and walked aimlessly into the night.
Throughout the long hours waiting for her to awaken, countless memories surfaced.
Among them was the moment when Kanna Adis first came to regard him as her caretaker.
“Um, I… I succeeded in alchemy. I revived a dead flower. Here…”
A dark-haired girl held out a small potted plant.
Her eyes held fear and longing simultaneously, desperately seeking affection beneath her wariness.
‘Yes. That was me too.’
But he had known her before that moment. He had loved her before that moment. That instant was truth as well.
The time they had spent together as man and woman, nurturing their feelings—that too could not be denied.
Though these experiences could never coexist, he possessed the strength to overcome them. If only Kanna Adis would permit it. If only she would remain by his side.
If she would do just that, then perhaps one day he could conquer the guilt and self-loathing that now bloomed so vividly in his chest.
So then…
“…!”
Alexandro Adis drew in a sharp breath.
“You’re truly not my biological father?”
That was the beginning. The dam finally burst.
It was incomparable to before. An absolutely staggering torrent of memories came crashing down, shattering everything in its path. Like an unstoppable tsunami, it consumed his entire being in a single, overwhelming surge.
Under that impact, Alexandro Adis dropped his umbrella. As his body staggered, he quickly steadied himself against the wall.
Rain poured down relentlessly upon his convulsing form. He was drenched from head to toe.
Alexandro Adis closed his eyes. He breathed. Harshly, desperately, gasping for air…
He remembered everything.
Everything.
“I’ve reached my limit. What about you? Alexandro Adis, how far can you go?”
Back then…
What had I answered Seon-hee?
“How am I supposed to believe your words?”
“I don’t need your belief. I simply need someone to protect my child.”
“Are you asking me to become a sacrifice?”
“Yes. But you alone are insufficient. You must offer up the entire bloodline of Adis as sacrifice for my daughter.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means your future children must also become sacrifices for my daughter.”
And Seon-hee extended her hand.
“If you cannot do it, I’ll show you. The future that lies ahead.”
Seon-hee and he reversed time. After countless attempts, they reached the desired moment. And they witnessed it.
Kanna Adis’s final end.
How he wished he could have failed to recognize her. Yet Alexandro Adis could not possibly fail to recognize her.
Why could he not accept her death as he would accept another’s?
Unable to acknowledge that truth, he had come this far.
Yes.
I had come this far.
“How is it? Do you want to change the future?”
“Yes.”
Beyond the roar of rain pouring down, I heard that woman’s voice—the conversation from that moment which had sealed his fate.
“Then I’ll tell you. The only way to save that child. But….”
Everything sank deeper.
The ragged breathing, the shock that had cut through me, the trembling fingertips.
“You will lose everything.”
“….”
“Can you still walk that path?”
Alexandro Adis slowly opened his eyes.
“I can.”
His exposed gaze was serene.
Everything was.
The pain, the heat, the confusion, all that had dominated him—vanished without leaving even a trace behind.
As though it had merely been a dream.
All that remained was the path I still had to walk.
“Alex?”
Alexandro Adis turned his body. His stone-like eyes shifted.
“Alex, are you alright?”
A woman was holding an umbrella over his head.
“Why are you standing in the rain?”
“….”
“If you catch a cold like this….”
Instead of answering, Alexandro Adis bent down and picked up the fallen umbrella.
He tried to pass by, but the Cooking Instructor held him back.
“Well, I was actually looking for you.”
“….”
“That woman with black hair—are you really in that kind of relationship with Alex?”
When I stared at her, the woman lowered her head and fumbled for an excuse.
“I’m, I’m sorry. But I wanted to hear it directly from you….”
“No.”
Alexandro Adis looked up at the rain-soaked sky. It was filled entirely with ashen clouds.
It was melancholy.
Just yesterday it had been a clear spring day….
As always, beautiful moments were fleeting.
“That child is my daughter.”
* * *
Kanna Adis awoke from sleep.
“…?”
The space beside me was empty.
It was disconcerting. For days, he had been the first thing I saw the moment I opened my eyes.
‘Did his memories return?’
Something had felt off. Kanna Adis let out a hollow laugh.
‘His memories must have come back.’
Of course. That’s why he disappeared like this. Because he remembered everything.
And so, he abandoned me like this….
Kanna Adis buried her face in the pristine sheets. Her delicate eyebrows contorted.
‘I should have known.’
Fool. Idiot. Bastard….
“You’re awake?”
In a flash, Kanna Adis’s eyes snapped open. She scrambled to sit up. Alexandro Adis stood in the doorway, regarding her.
The moment their eyes met, her mind went blank.
Eyes like an abyss—deep and fathomless. Understanding crashed over her as she beheld his serene, almost desolate expression.
“Could it be… your memories…?”
“They’ve returned.”
I see.
They’ve returned.
As Kanna Adis stared blankly, unable to find words, Alexandro Adis released a quiet sigh. He turned his head away and murmured softly.
“Kanna Adis.”
“….”
“Get dressed.”
“….”
“Please.”
Ah. Kanna Adis pulled the blanket up to cover her exposed body.
Her mind had been elsewhere. Only then did her face flush crimson.
“Come out once you’re ready. I’ll wait.”
* * *
Alexandro Adis appeared to have gone shopping and cooked while she slept.
‘The Kitchen is a disaster again….’
I had just cleaned it, and now it was like this.
Once again, inexplicably, a kitchen knife was embedded in the ceiling, and food ingredients were scattered everywhere.
“Eat.”
Alexandro Adis pointed to something resembling congee with an expressionless face.
“The taste is acceptable.”
“….”
Suppressing the urge to refuse, Kanna Adis picked up a spoon. Surely it wouldn’t kill me…?
‘Huh?’
Surprisingly, the taste was normal.
Kanna Adis hesitated for a moment before carefully asking.
“Did that woman… the Cooking Instructor come by and leave?”
“No.”
“So you made it yourself?”
“Yes.”
“It’s delicious.”
Silence settled between us. Finally, as the meal drew to a close, Alexandro Adis opened his mouth at last.
“Kanna.”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry.”
My words caught in my throat.
Sorry?
That apology, that word, his voice—it swept through everything like a tempest.
After a moment, she asked quietly.
“What are you sorry for?”
“I…”
Alexandro Adis trailed off. A deep remorse flickered in his eyes.
“I did something to you that I shouldn’t have. Resent me. It’s all my fault.”
