"Zoe..." Yuzhen murmured the name, stirring from his coma. Fragments of that day's events flickered in his mind, but he couldn't tell if they were real or just a dream.
As he struggled to piece together his memories, Yuan's face surfaced in his thoughts. His son. Not seeing Yuan nearby, Yuzhen rushed out, desperate to see him.
It was midnight, and the place was quiet. He slipped inside, careful not to disturb his son. But what he saw left him stunned—Yuan, half-transformed into a dragon, was sleeping soundly next to Ziya. Golden scales shimmered across his body, and a dragon tail curled behind him.
"How is this possible?" Yuan, who was half demon, half dragon, and half human, was never expected to undergo such a transformation so soon. From birth, Yuan had appeared completely human, never displaying any sign of his mixed heritage.
Fury flared within him, blaming those who had caused this change. Yet, he gently touched his son's face, not wanting to wake him.
