My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

“Huh?” Xanthea was confused, and Samuel, green with envy, didn’t want to say a word, “Youll find out soon enough. But first, what’re you planning to do at the back hill? 

“I was thinking.” Xanthen leaned in close, whispering her scheme into his ear 

After hearing her out, Samuel thought it sounded fun 

“Wearing a wedding dress for that? Isn’t it a bit risky?” 

you forgotten that I’ve won competitions on slopes over three 

*Not at all. The slope is just a few feet tall, practically child’s play. Have y 

thousand feet tall?” 

Samuel admired her confident spirit. “Actually, I’m just worried that you’ll be too stunning, Kan. I might not be able to stop myself from sweeping you away right there and then” 

“Try it, and I’ll have Orion station like eighty bodyguards at the wedding!” 

“Wow, really throwing me to the wolves, huh? Planning to have me flattened into a pancake?” 

“Flattened into a pancake? Perfect for the wedding feast, ha!” 

After a hectic week, the wedding invitations were all sent out, the dress was ready, and many friends and family had already arrived to stay at the Lakeside Manor in advance, the place was buzzing with joy. 

With the wedding day just one sunrise away. Xanthea began to feel a flutter of nerves. The seven days of pre wedding celebrations had flown by. Maybe she should find Orion to ease her worries? 

Just as she was about to ask Samuel for her phone back, Ethan called out, “Xan, Professor Fred just called. He’s flown in from abroad and is now at the Crestwood Research Institute. He wants to see you.” 

“Really? 

The renowned professor had made a special trip just to see her. Xanthea couldn’t afford to keep him waiting. Let me just change my clothes!” 

“Alright, I drive you there.” 

Upon amving at Crestwood Research Institute, Xanthea was greeted by Professor Fred and his team at the entrance, leaving her pleasantly surprised 

“Happy marriage, Ms. Nightshade.” 

Thank you, 

Professor Fred. That’s very kind of you. The sun’s strong, let’s head in and talk.” 

They spent the afternoon engaging in lively conversations about everything from Fred’s invitation for her to join his team, to their research projects, and her upcoming wedding, until the evening crept in 

“I wonder if my team and I would have the honor of attending your wedding?” 

“Of course, it would be my honor.” 

At right in the evening, Xanthea finally stepped out of the meeting room. 

“So, how did it go? Professor Fred seems to really like you.” 

“He mainly invited me to join his team for their latest research project.” 

“And your thoughts?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“I accepted” 

She had thought it over for a long time and had already made up her mind. 

“Good” Ethan’s glasses hid a pair of joyous eyes, “Fred and his team’s latest research project is based here. Let me show you around.” 

“Sure!” 

As Xanthea entered the research building, wondering why her brother seemed so familiar with the place, she heard a staff member call him “Boss“. 

“Ethan, why do they all call you ‘Boss‘?” 

“Because this is my research lab, a gift from Orion.” 

“What?” Xanthea was stunned. 

Orion had gifted Ethan such a grand–scale research lab. When had this happened, and how had she not known? 

“The first time he came over Ethan affectionately ruffled her hair, his eyes gleaming with joy, “From now on, I can be with you every day.
