Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Remembering Ivy
A helpless smile appeared on her lips as she muttered,"If you keep acting like this... I’ll start receiving a completely different message from all of this."
She covered her face with one hand.
’No... Don’t overthink it. He’s just being kind. Nothing more.’

Meanwhile, Patrick headed toward the military base as he did every single day.
The morning air carried a faint chill, while soldiers bustled around, preparing for another busy day.
Boots struck the pavement rhythmically, and distant commands echoed throughout the training grounds.
Suddenly, Patrick froze. Not too far away, he spotted a woman with striking pink hair. His pupils contracted.
For a brief moment, he genuinely wondered whether his aging eyes were playing tricks on him.
However, the more he looked, the more familiar she became. At that very moment, the countless nightmares that had haunted him returned all at once.
And finally... the faceless villain who had tortured him throughout those dreams now had a face. It was her.
The woman with the distinctive pink hair. Patrick’s breathing gradually became heavier. His fists slowly tightened until his knuckles turned white.
A terrifying rage erupted inside him. ’It’s her... It’s really her... I finally found you.’
Without thinking, he began marching straight toward the woman. Every step became faster than the last.
His murderous intent surged uncontrollably. He wanted nothing more than to crush her neck with his own hands. He wanted to kill her.
Right there. Right now. However... just before he reached her, someone called out, "Ivy!"
The pink-haired woman immediately turned around before smiling and walking toward the person who had called her.
Patrick instantly stopped. His entire body stiffened.
"Ivy..."
His expression slowly changed. The founder of the entire base was also named Ivy.
Although there were many people named Ivy throughout the world... none of them had such distinctive pink hair.
Cold sweat slowly trickled down Patrick’s forehead. His widened eyes remained fixed on her retreating figure.
’I... I almost attacked the founder of the base...?’
Reason gradually returned to his mind. However... the burning hatred inside his heart refused to disappear.
Instead... it grew even stronger. His entire body trembled violently from the overwhelming urge to kill someone.
’I need to vent this anger. I don’t care who it is. Anyone will do. As long as I can slaughter someone...’
The very instant that thought crossed his mind... he noticed Gwen walking toward the military barracks.
A sinister smile slowly spread across his wrinkled face. An idea had suddenly formed inside his mind.
Without hesitation... he quietly followed behind her.

Meanwhile, Gwen was in an exceptionally bad mood. Her father had unexpectedly assigned her today’s errand. She was supposed to deliver a bag of clothes to Annie.
Honestly... she couldn’t understand the point of it.
’Does Annie seriously lack clothes? Of course not. Then why send me? Is Father trying to make me jealous on purpose?’
