Gale bit her lip, hearing Craig sigh. 'Am I being too insensitive? But I only want to see Gilbert's grave because it had been a while since I last visited him.' she mused.
"Okay, I will drive you there. You want to buy flowers first?" Craig asked and Gale timidly nodded.
They first bought flowers, then headed towards Gilbert's graveyard. Craig needed to stay beside Gale for her safety as well, so he accompanied her to Gilbert's grave.
He stood beside Gale and silently watched her every move.
Gale put the flowers down and exhaled loudly.
"It's been a while… I hope you are at peace wherever you are, Gilbert. I will make sure that the person responsible for your death will pay the price…"
She then bit her lip and continued, "You must be wondering who is this man beside me… He is Craig. He is the one who has been taking good care of me after you left. He is a really good man and shows me nothing but care and love.
I honestly feel so lucky that I came across someone like him. Gilbert, what I would say next may sound a little wrong to you, but... I want to let go of you now and start a new life... with him…"
Craig turned to Gale and gulped, wondering if he heard everything right.
"Gilbert… You will always have a special place in my heart and that will never change… But my heart is still beating and right now, it's beating for Craig. I hope you will also be happy seeing me living a happy life with him, Gilbert…"
"Gale…" Craig whispered, totally caught off-guard with Gale's words.
Finally, Gale turned towards Craig with her beautiful smile as she bashfully whispered, "I love you Craig…"

At Quan Clan Territory, Country V
Lana was wearing her sunglasses when she joined the two gentlemen on the table for breakfast. She arrived very late last night and her dark circles were clearly visible, not to mention the bulging of her eyes because she cried all night.
"Good morning guys," she nonchalantly greeted and asked Chad's butler for a coffee. Chad was also close to Lana since he disguised as John, one of Keira's bodyguards during his stay at their country, D.
"What's with the sunglasses when there's no sun here?" Xander commented.
Chad laughed and said, "Maybe she's hiding her bulgy eyes after hours of crying. Women tend to do that. I'm just not sure what caused her crying."
"Oh, Lana. Is it because of your sudden coming here? Did you happen to leave someone special behind?" Xander burst, but he was aware Lana was a man hater, so he gave Chad a meaningful glance.
Chad just shrugged his shoulders.
"Me cry? No way! Why would I. I got sore eyes because of eye flu… Unless you want to stare into my red infected eyes, I will not remove this," Lana grunted and was about to remove her eyeglass?
"No! Keep that. It's contagious and do not touch your eyes then touch things afterwards," Xander scolded, the high degree of germaphobia in him was triggered instantly.
Lana chuckled and defended, "I know Doc!"

Chad had a lopsided grin and shook his head. Lana's pride was still as high as Mount Everest.
"Doc, sore eyes from love sickness is not contagious, but I have heard it can be deadly." Chad could not help but tease.
Lana turned her head to Chad and said, "Shut up Chad or I will cut you into pieces without even letting you taste your winning victory after the election. By the way, I heard something interesting about you…"
"Okay! Let's change the topic!" Chad exclaimed, raising his hands as a sign of giving up.
Xander watched the two of them banter with each other while he continued eating. It was like the good old days when Chad was still Keira's bodyguard but turned out he was a big man from another country and was just in disguise and in hiding.
Lana looked at Xander and said, "Let's start as soon as we're done with breakfast. Keira said your life depends on it so I will make sure that you win this trial."
"Thanks," Xander murmured with a sigh. Yes, his life would depend on the outcome of the trial, but still he also had a Plan B in case the unexpected happened. But he hoped they would not have to come to use Plan B.
One of Chad's men rushed in the dining area and whispered something to Chad. Both Lana and Xander creased their foreheads, seeing the serious look on Chad.
"No… Let them be, but observe them closely. We will feed them with wrong data. I will analyze things later…" Chad instructed before dismissing the man.
"Turns out Yue clan implanted spies inside Quan Territory," Chad nonchalantly commented.

"How do you know if they are spies or not?" Lana curiously asked.
"Ever since I returned here, I tightened the level of security inside our territory, even the technologies… I had them all replaced. Every corner had a hidden camera and all my places were bugged. So I have a special elite team of experts monitoring what's going on inside our territory, reporting things they will notice rather unusually." Chad explained.
"Wait, what? Even our rooms? Are you saying it also has hidden cameras?" Lana burst in horror.
Xander too looked at Chad in rounded eyes, waiting for his answer.
Chad laughed and said. "The room is bugged but don't worry about hidden cameras. It's also making sure that you two are safe. You see, spies are everywhere. Not all Quan clan members are loyal, you know. It's human nature to betray for larger benefits..."
"Wow… Such a perfectionist." Lana mumbled. She couldn't wait to witness the changes Chad would implement once he won for presidency of this country.
But the bug?! No wonder Chad was teasing her… It was because he heard her crying and cursing Liam several times…
Liam was still at country V and later he would ask Chad to trace her husband's whereabouts. She must find out what was going on...
