He''d been watching her for years, knowing every little detail about her life—while she couldn''t stand him.


    What was going through his mind back then, someone so proud and untouchable?


    ra didn''t even want to know. Dn always kept his deepest thoughts hidden, and she could only imagine how much pain he put himself through.


    She stayed there for hours, lost in thought, until she suddenly remembered something: ages ago, an old alternative medicine expert had handed her a jar filled with herbs, swearing it was for making a special soup and insisting she take good care of it.


    Maybe there was a clue inside?


    She''d taken the jar home and just tucked it away, totally forgetting about it.


    Now, her heart started to race. She grabbed her keys and drove straight home.


    The whole trip took forever-by the time she finally made it back, it was already the early hours of the next day.


    But she wasn''t tired at all. She went straight into her apartment and dug around until she found the jar.


    She popped the lid open. Just a bunch of dried herbs.


    She dumped them out, and that''s when she saw it—a tiny photo album, barely bigger than her hand, hidden at the bottom.


    ra''s pulse quickened. Her gut told her this album had secrets-like she was about to see something nobody else was meant to know.


    She took a deep breath, bracing herself, and opened it.


    Every page was nk. All except for a single note tucked in at the end.


    -When it''s all over, I''lle find you.


    ra frowned. Was this some kind of joke?


    The old medicine expert had been so serious about the album; there definitely should''ve been something here.


    Now it was gone. Someone must have broken in, taken whatever was inside, and left her this note as a taunt.


    The handwriting was exactly like the note she''d found at the Bradford family house. If it was the same person... could it really be that so called senior apprentice  s


    She thought about it until her brain hurt, flipping through the album again and again. That''s when she found another note hidden between the pages.  s


    -But for now, it''s not over.


    ra''s heart skipped a beat. Now she was sure-someone was out there, watching her.


    When had they slipped this note in?


    She asked building management to check the security footage, but there was nothing unusual. The recordings must have been wiped.<fn80c7> Th?s chapter is updated by Find~Novel</fn80c7>


    Was someone tracking her every move? And what did they even want?


    She remembered that mysterious phone call, the one warning her to keep Dn from going to North America.


    Was Dn the real target?


    She and Dn had never gotten along-was someone working behind the scenes to keep them apart?


    Her thoughts spun in circles until she thought her head might explode.


    ra tucked the notes away, pressed her lips together, and flopped down on the couch, hoping she might get some sleep.


    But there was no way she could rest. She picked up the note again, reading those words over and over-But for now, it''s not over.


    What would it take for this to finally end?


    As long as she didn''t know what this person wanted, she''d always be one step behind.


    If this was the senior apprentice,


    hadn''t


    already decided he was


    dead? If he was alive, why stay hidden all these years. It didnt add up.  s


    ra stared at the handwriting. It felt weirdly familiar, like she''d seen it somewhere since her memory loss, but couldn''t quite ce it.


    Suddenly, she sat up straight, eyes fixed on the note for ten full minutes before finally putting it down.


    Finding this person might actually be easy. If they didn''t want Dn going to North America, then maybe that was exactly where he should go.
