Hello everyone,
I want to sincerely apologize for the delay in releasing the next chapter. Unfortunately, my devices crashed unexpectedly, and I had to take some time to get them repaired. During this period, I've been borrowing devices from others to stay connected and continue working on the story.
I appreciate your patience and support more than you know, and to make it up to you, I'm working on making this upcoming chapter worth the wait. It will be a longer chapter, around 4,000 words, and I'm aiming to release it before the end of the week.
Thank you so much for sticking with me and understanding the situation. Your support means the world to me, and I'm excited to share the next part of the story with you very soon!
