Chapter 1417: Chapter 1389: Nightmare Becomes Reality (Five More) Chapter 1417: Chapter 1389: Nightmare Becomes Reality (Five More) “Their twin connection isn’t the same as the usual kind. Put it this way, as soon as Akate gets close, she’ll fall into the same state she’s in now, and no one can solve it.”

Although Kiara wasn’t hearing about this strange, inexplicable phenomenon for the first time, this was the first real-life case she had encountered.

Yacob continued where Yuzo Joel had left off, “We’ve also wanted to perform hypnosis on Akate before, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.”

Even if Akate could temporarily forget her fear, as soon as Tenango appeared near her, she would still display symptoms of fear and anxiety.

“Is there really no way to solve it?”

“There is a way, but just as I’ve told you before, without the right timing, cutting in with a solution could not only fail to cure the problem but also cause harm.”

Kiara pursed her lips and remained silent, feeling frustrated. This intractable impasse was the greatest source of turmoil for Mrs. Kiara in recent times.

Camden wrapped his arms around her shoulders, his breath, laden with the scent of alcohol, sprinkling evenly across her face.

“My daughter-in-law is the key that fits only my lock. Others are chasing after Akate’s key, so don’t join the commotion. Stay and shine for me. How does that sound?”

Having said that, he kissed Kiara forcefully on the face. He behaved this way because he feared her suppressed emotions would explode on the spot.

Yacob raised an eyebrow, wondering if Camden was simply drunk or what he meant by his nonsensical remark.

Seeing her father kiss her mother, Wendy in Yuzo Joel’s arms also stretched out her arms vigorously. Yuzo Joel lifted her, and she too planted a gentle kiss on Kiara’s face. Wendy mirrored her father’s affection on the other side.

Camden’s timely intervention somewhat soothed Kiara’s restless heart. She glanced at Yuzo Joel, who was forcefully suppressing his sorrow, prompting a faint, miserable smile from her.

“Yes, I was too anxious. Everyone has their destiny.”

But destiny, oh destiny, why does it pass in such haste, beyond our control?

With these thoughts, Kiara’s eyes darkened again. She looked at Yuzo Joel by her side, forcefully suppressed her heartache, and took the wine glass from Edward Wheeler’s hand to pour him another, “Go on then, fulfill Mr. Zoel’s unfulfilled wish. It would be a waste if you two childhood friends didn’t do so.”

Edward awaited the bright gaze from Wheeler, his scalp tingling.

“Come on, a toast to friendship. Not drinking makes you a cowardly pup. Another toast for deep affection. After we drink, we’re all friends~” Camden, having calmed Kiara, switched gears back to his drinking mode.

Edward shot a pleading look at Yuzo Joel; what’s with this odd couple?

Yuzo Joel shrugged, “Serves you right for being single.”

Critical hit, Edward was done for.

…

“Akate!” Zoel Cohen chased after her, and Akate, already by the door, turned wearily to him.

“I’m sorry for ruining everyone’s pleasure. I think I’ll head back first. Please apologize to everyone for me.”

All she wanted now was to hide in her small nest quietly.

The busier the surroundings, the more oppressed and fearful she felt. An eerie telepathic connection with her twin made her uneasy, as if the hanging sword could drop at any moment.

“I’ll take you home,” said Zoel Cohen, although he didn’t understand why Akate was suddenly acting strange, he didn’t want her to go alone in her current state.

The night breeze was a bit chilly, so he took off his jacket and draped it over her.

“Don’t you think I’m acting like a neurotic, getting angry for no reason? I hate being like this.”

“I understand.”

“…You?!”

Zoel Cohen wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. His arms, through the coat she was wearing, clung to her body. The faint scent of cologne and his breath surrounded her.

Zoel Cohen took a deep breath, revealing a side of himself to her that he had never shown before.

“Do you want to know how I met Emma Clark?”

Aka looked at him, bewildered.

“I used to have a phobia, Sawtooth Phobia.”

“How did you get that?!” Aka had thought Zoel Cohen was the kind of man who feared nothing and nobody. She never expected him to have been a patient with a phobia.

“The specific reason is complicated… Anyway, it’s all that damned youngest brother of Yuno Family’s fault, but that’s not the point.” Thinking about the complex grudges he held with Youngest Brother of Yuno Family, Mr. Zoel clenched his teeth and forcibly ignored it.

“The point is, everyone has something they’re afraid of. Just like how I used to get breathless at the sight of sawteeth, so I understand how you feel right now. I don’t have all your professional techniques, nor can I do the many complex techniques like Emma Clark, but I have one request.”

He squared her shoulders, looking straight into her eyes.

“Let me be by your side in every moment that you feel afraid.”

He knew!

Aka covered her mouth–she thought she had hidden it well.

Zoel Cohen hugged her and gently patted her back, soothing her like one would with a child. Aka, who had been holding back her emotions all night, finally found a way to let them out.

“I don’t want to keep feeling this way, but I just feel it. She’s coming, she really is!”

Zoel Cohen patiently coaxed her, “I know how you feel, but Emma Clark once said all fears are just fantasies of our own creation. If you face them head-on, you will realize you’re just scaring yourself. Look up, do you see what you were talking about anywhere?”

These words were the same ones Kiara had used to treat Zoel Cohen back in the day.

Seeing that Aka was emotionally unstable, Mr. Zoel followed Kiara’s example, using the same techniques on Aka that Kiara had used on him.

Aka raised her head and instinctively looked around from the safety of his embrace, just as he had instructed.

Suddenly, she grasped the fabric over her heart and pointed towards a certain spot ahead, her expression turning to one of terror.

Zoel Cohen felt the body of the little darling in his arms stiffen. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he heard a soft voice coming from ahead.

“I’ve finally found you, my dear sister.”

Although the voice was soft, it sent chills down one’s spine, not from the cold but from sheer terror. To Aka’s ears, it sounded like a lament from Hell–she clung tightly to the hem of Zoel Cohen’s clothes, the negative emotions she had sensed over the past two days now bursting forth all at once, the nightmare she’d had now surfacing in her mind.

Zoel Cohen looked up and was also startled.

He saw another Aka.

The features were identical, especially since Aka’s face had been made up by him today. The two faces were indistinguishable, save for a slight difference in attire.

“Why don’t you turn around and look at me, huh? Don’t you miss me? Come on~” Akatenango called out seductively, reaching out to Aka.

To an outsider, this was just a normal scene of two identical women having a chance encounter on the street.

But to Aka, this was her nightmare becoming reality.

The dream that tormented her these past few days had filled her with dread, and at this moment, it had reached its peak.

“Who is this, your new boyfriend? Why didn’t you tell me about him? After all, we came from the same mother… You’re my sister.”
