Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 164
“Hmm…”
Helena sat up in bed only after noon had passed.
In truth, she’d opened her eyes around noon, but it had taken her a long time to soothe her aching body. Remembering last night, her face flushed hot even as she curled and uncurled her body, trying to relieve the relentless lower back pain.
Once she grew accustomed to the pain, loneliness washed over her. Especially because Ian’s empty space beside her felt so hollow, it weighed on her even more.
She’d reached out, hoping for his warmth, only to find her fingertips scraping against nothing but cold bedsheets.
Helena unfolded and reread the note he’d left behind.
{An urgent matter came up, so I’ll leave first. Meet me at the villa.}
Behind those words was a patch of black ink, as if he’d started to write something else but then scratched it out. For someone who usually clung to her relentlessly, no matter what, to vanish like this without even a proper farewell—it must have been truly urgent.
Perhaps it really was something serious. Not long ago, after his request to the Emperor of Bohemia, Helena had come to understand him better. She, too, had many things to settle before leaving the capital.
Helena brushed aside her faint disappointment and began preparing to leave.
Thanks to Aida helping her with her attire and arranging the carriage, it didn’t take long. The streets were quiet, as everyone was enjoying their leisurely midday hours.
Unlike Dailon, which was likely in chaos right now.
Helena rested her chin on the windowsill and thought of their familiar faces, one by one. Though she hadn’t seen them in a long while, their images remained vivid in her mind.
‘Please let nothing bad have happened.’
Dailon was currently in turmoil over Gelda’s restoration of rights. Numerically, Gelda held the advantage, but Garta possessed something Patren sorely lacked—in abundance.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
