My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2204

At the South Territory, Clint lay on the ground in the hospital lifelessly. While in his subconscious space, he saw a familiar figure. It was the silhouette of his brother whom he had longed for so deeply.

Without hesitation, he began to run toward the figure when he suddenly stopped.

Both figures were puzzled.

"What's wrong? Come on, Clint," his brother's voice echoed in his mind.

Tears of sorrow streamed down Clint's face.

"I understand now. If I take just one more step, I'll be able to join you, won't I?"

His brother nodded.

However, when Clint raised his head to look at his brother, he was startled. Declan's face was blurred and indistinct.

"What’s going on?"

At that moment, an older version of Clint suddenly appeared behind the younger Clint.

"Who are you?" the young Clint asked innocently.

"I’m you," the older Clint responded.

Before he became an immortal, he had a forbidden love story—one that involved a fox demon. Although this tale had altered as it was passed down through the ages, their names were kept alive among mortals.

The Sun and Moon Sovereign, Cliffton Thunder, and the current Fox Queen, Ember Dax, were the main characters of this story. Endings in films often had the hero overcome all odds and win the heart of his beloved. Mundane stories were often like this as no one wished for a regretful ending.

However, when stories like those that carried the people's beautiful fantasies actually played out in reality, they might look entirely different.

Cliffton, the Sun and Moon Sovereign, never got his happy ending with Ember in the end. The two were bound by reality and forced to compromise. He was now an immortal while Ember reigned as the Fox Queen. Theirs was a bond forged through misfortune.

However, perhaps even the heavens showed mercy as an unexpected turn of events granted him the chance to be reborn. To Cliffton, this was an opportunity of a lifetime.
