the largest amusement park in city G, Malachi held Nylah’s hand and looked at her helplessly.
In th
“Malachi, look!”
Nylah’s face lit up with a bright smile as she pointed at the pink fox plush toy posing for a photo with the tourists ahead.
Malachi indulgently watched her and let her pull him to take a photo in front of the doll.
“Malachi, look quickly!”
Nylah held the instant camera in front of him and excitedly showed it to him
present Nylah in front of him
Malachi was taken aback as the image of another person in his mind gradually merged with the prest
Just signed a contract, Malachi had to accompany Cadence to the amusement park for a date.
Cadence excitedly pulled him to take a photo with the interactive doll in the amusement park. She happily showed him the Polaroid, but he forcefully knocked it to the ground
“Cadence, I didn’t know you were so childish
At that time, Malachi just uttered such a cold sentence and walked away.
er, he still saw that photo in the frame: Cadence holding his hand, smiling brightly,
But later,
He only found out that, after he left, Cadence was squatting on the ground, carefully picking up the dusty Polaroid camera, treasuring it as if it were a precious treasure,
Malachi felt a sudden pain in his heart, and Nylah, who was beside him, noticed that his complexion was off and quickly hugged him.
“Malachi, what happened to you!”
Malachi woke up from his memories and quickly comforted the person in front of him, who had a worried expression on their
“Nylah, I was fine, just a little too hot
Seeing Malachi was unharmed, Nylah smirked and pointed to a haunted house in the distance called “Ghost Manor.”
“Malachi, do you want to take on a challenge?”
Malachi tapped her forehead and said, “You, always up to no good.
He walked into the “Haunted Mansion” with Nylah, and the two of them disappeared into the darkness.
As the two of them moved forward, terrifying dolls and mechanisms jumped in front of them.
Nylah screamed and threw herself into Malachi’s arms, trembling all over.
“Malachi..” Nylah tightly grasped the hem of Malachi’s clothes, pressing herself closely against him as they moved forward. she, however, did not notice that Malachi’s fingers curled slightly and his palm was icy cold.
“Malachi forcibly suppressed his inner fear,
Ever since his parents jumped off the building while he was asleep, Malachi has been deeply afraid of the night and darkness. Cadence knew about his hidden trauma, and every time night fell, she would always light up a warm–colored lamp for him. Cadence, who was not afraid of ghosts, had never been to places like haunted houses in order to empathize with him.
If it was Cadence, she definitely wouldn’t have brought him to the haunted house,
Malachi’s mind suddenly
y came up with this idea, and he was startled, quickly shaking it off
“Nylah,” Malachi tightened his grip on Nylah’s hand, “let’s go.”
Nylals, who was quite scared, nodded repeatedly and waved to the staff in front of the camera, indicating them to take them away. “Malachi, are you okay?”
Nylah, standing in the sunlight, looked at Malachi with a worried expression on her face.
Malachi shook his head and weakly replied, “Nylah, I was fine, don’t worry about me.” Chapter 13

Nylah pulled Malachi onto the seats of the open–air cade and let him rest for a moment.
“Malachi, wait for me.”
Nylah ran to the side of the ice cream truck and after a while, she handed Malachi a chocolate ice cream.
“Malachi, were you a little bit sunstroke?”
Nylah handed the ice cream to his lips, looking at him with concern.
Malachi had no choice but to take it and eat it slowly.
Actually, since his family went bankrupt and his parents passed away, he worked day and night outside to repay the debts.
During the day, he worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and at night, he worked as a security guard in a bar. Under extreme poverty and exhaustion, he often came home and fell straight asleep, sometimes even going a whole day without eating.
Over time, Malachi developed a very severe stomach illness.
Only Cadence knew about this.
Therefore, she never let him touch any raw or cold food, and the house was always filled with nourishing hot soups.
If it was Cadence, she would definitely snatch the ice cream from his hand and angrily warn him.
Malachi
Malachi couldn’t help but feel lonely in his heart.
“Malachi?” Nylah’s hand caressed his forehead.
‘Are you feeling unwell, Malachi? What’s wrong with you?”
Malachi handed the ice cream to Nylah.
“Sorry, Nylah, I just couldn’t eat anymore.”
Nylah furrowed her brow and said, “Malachi, what’s wrong with your Are you hiding something from me?
He shook his head as he watched his beloved one’s worried expression.
How could Malachi speak, and how could he speak clearly
Those dark years, which he most wanted to escape, left indelible marks on his body and soul.
Along with Cadence, the person he desperately wanted to escape from, also kept appearing in his mind, unable to be completely forgotten.
