Gwyneth understood her son’s feelings. Therefore, she decided to research time-delay magic. In the past, she had only applied time-delay magic to Larisa’s organs, but this time, she planned to cast it on the entire body to delay aging.
About a month passed since Gwyneth immersed herself back in the laboratory. Siod, exhausted from single-handedly taking care of their child, finally couldn’t endure it and knocked on the door of the lab.
Knock, knock.
There was no response. Siod sighed deeply and spoke.
“Vera, it’s me. Can I come in?”
As he opened the door and entered, he saw Gwyneth sitting motionless in the chair, completely unresponsive. Siod hesitated for a moment and then quickly approached her.
“Vera?”
No answer, even when called. Siod, bewildered, shook her hands in front of Gwyneth.
“Vera? Vera!”
The focus didn’t follow his fingers. It was then that Siod realized Gwyneth was under the influence of some magic.
“What kind of magic is this?”
Siod rummaged through Gwyneth’s research materials recklessly. He needed to figure out what kind of magic it was to unravel it. Of course, as a dragon, there was no magic he couldn’t break with his magical power, but doing so might put Gwyneth at risk.
The first thing he discovered was Gwyneth’s research notebook.
“May 23, 167 AD, 10:00 AM, Arendiarek. I’m going insane.”
It was undoubtedly a record of Gwyneth casting magic on herself to mark the passage of time. Moreover, it was time-delay magic.
Siod, who had been reading the data intensely for a while, let out a sigh of relief after successfully deciphering the information. The magic itself was not complex, making it relatively easy to unravel the circuit in reverse.
Following the magical circuit backward, Siod then checked on Gwyneth’s condition.
“Are you okay?”
Gwyneth blinked for a moment before slowly asking, “What time is it now?”
“It’s not about the time; you should be asking how many days have passed. It’s been a week since you cast the spell.”
Gwyneth stood up abruptly but swayed. Strong hands steadied her. Then, a scolding followed.
“Where’s the sense in experimenting with such magic alone without a backup? You should have at least prepared some safety measures.”
“You were here.”
At that, Siod’s lips sealed tight. Gwyneth stared at Siod, unable to express her mixed feelings, then sighed.
“I guess the magical power was too excessive. I expected only a few hours, but I cast the spell for a week. So, today is the 30th, right?”
“Yeah.”
Gwyneth checked the clock, recorded the time and details in her notebook, and noted it as a failure.
“When applying time-delay magic to the entire body, time flows slowly even to the brain, making it like a puppet. Considering there are no other bodily symptoms, the magic was perfect, but there seems to be a temporary blood circulation problem when the magic is released.”
What should be done? Even if they exclude the brain and apply the magic, the brain would still age. If they couldn’t prevent the aging of the brain, it would only lead to the creation of young dementia patients.
How about researching a way to apply the time regression magic to only one person? If only Larisa continues to regress, she will, of course, keep losing her memories, but at least she won’t lose Larisa.
“Is there no other way…?”
“Vera!”
Suddenly, Gwyneth, whose wrist was grabbed, blinked.
“Why?”
“Stop muttering to yourself and have a conversation with me.”
“I’m busy.”
“The kids are looking for you.”
Gwyneth hesitated and looked at him.
“Me?”
“Yeah. Research is good, but you should live with your family and see their faces.”
“I… I need to find a way before Larisa ages further.”
Siod said with frustration.
“Why do you always try to solve every problem with magic?”
Gwyneth pondered absentmindedly. How else could she solve it without magic?
“What if Larisa wants to age?”
“…”
“Let’s go out first. If that’s the case, freeze time after Larisa grows up and start researching. You made a promise.”
“Ah…”
She had sworn to Marina that she would let Larisa live happily for a long time.
“What’s the point if childhood is not happy? Larisa is looking for you, so at least go out and show your face.”
Unable to resist Siod’s persuasion, Gwyneth left the research lab. When she arrived in the living room where the children were, Larisa, who was playing the piano, turned towards the door.
“Mom!”
Larisa ran towards her like an excited puppy.
“Mom, is your research finished now?”
“No.”
“Then did you come to see Larisa?”
“…Yes.”
Gwyneth lifted Larisa into her arms. Larisa approached as if she had been waiting. Unknowingly, a strange sense of relief spread through Gwyneth, warmed by the child’s body temperature.
“What about William?”
“He’s irrigating the Radante territory.”
It was Siod who answered.
“He’s planning to cultivate the wasteland in earnest. Since he’s busy every weekend, Larisa feels lonely by herself.”
Perhaps William was intentionally keeping a distance from Larisa. Gwyneth respected her son’s intentions.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
