Chapter 65
Regina woke to the noise and, with a sleepy glance, saw two men lying at the feet of the Hayes brothers under the dim moonlight.
Liam casually plunged his mantis blade into one man’s shoulder.
The man squirmed in silent agony, unable to utter a word,
She turned away and caught sight of Stephen’s prosthetic eye glowing faintly red. It seemed his prosthetic eye was suppressing their cybernetic bodies, rendering them silent
Julian, meanwhile, stepped on one of them with his boots, flipping through their phones with practiced indifference.
Aside from a single scream, the Hayes brothers dealt with the intruders in complete silence, as if it were nothing more than routine.
Regina attempted to sit up, but her exhaustion weighed her down.
The moment she lifted her head, it fell heavily back onto the pillow.
The three brothers didn’t realize she had woken up and quietly tried to drag the two unconscious intruders away.
Regina’s faint voice broke the silence. Thank you…
The three froze in their tracks, turning back to stare at her in astonishment
Regina didn’t open her eyes. Instead, she drifted back into a deep sleep, murmuring softly, “Thank you for helping me…”
At that moment, Stephen’s phone buzzed.
“Ding!”
(Regina Mitchell’s Humanity +3, Current Humanity: 14.]
Stephen blinked in surprise.
Liam and Julian also noticed the notification.
Three points, just like that?
While they were helping her?”
Stephen rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Does this mean… if we treat her well and take care of her, her points will keep going up!”
The other two didn’t say a word, but the look in their eyes hinted at silent contemplation, as though they were weighing something significant.
Stephen glanced at the screen again, smirking faintly. “If this is how it works, I might as well test it.”
Early in the morning, Regina Mitchell opened her eyes groggily.
Through the hazy sunlight,ishe noticed a shirtless man with medium–length hair busy installing glass in her room
His movements were methodical, his toned muscles outlined in the light. He wore work gloves, straight blue jeans, and a black belt slung casually around his waist.
Unaware that she had woken, he carefully applied adhesive to secure the glass, his hands moving with precision. Pulling off his gloves with . flourish, he admired his handiwork with unmistakable pride. “Perfect! Truly a masterpiece, Not only am I the best prosthetics doctor in the world. but also the top genius with my hands!”
Regina found it amusing slut her eyes dismissively, and curled back into the soft covers to continue sleeping. “Wald
Why was there a man in her room!!
Regina shot upriglu, her bedhead a tangled mess as her shocked gaze landed on the man in her room.
Stephen turned, brushing his bangs to the side as sunlight highlighted his striking features.
Flashing a bright smile, he greeted her warmly, “Good morning. Reginal I fixed your window!”

The sunlight highlighted his fair skin and toned frame, paired with blue jeans that made him look effortlessly fresh, like a glass of blueberry milk on a summer morning.
Regina blinked, momentarily stunned. Her eyes landed on his hair, and she frowned
“Did you cut your hair!”
At two or three in the morning, it was still long, she muttered in he heart. ‘How did it get shorter in just a few hours?
Stephen’s face lit up with excitement. “You noticed!”
He leaned closer, his freshly washed, naturally fluffy medium–length curls bouncing with the movement, and the subtle scent of shampoo wafting around him.
Like a golden retriever showing off after a bath, he asked eagerly. “Does this length suit me?”
Regina glanced at him, utterly lost for words,
very feature of his face a natural charm.
Stephen was undeniably attractive. His peach blossom–shaped eyes, paired with his soft smile, gave every With long hair, he could almost pass for a girl; with medium–length curls, he looked more carefree and casual.
