After a rare night of sound sleep, Julian Sterling's spirit seemed to have recovered significantly. The early morning sunlight flooded through the window frame, gilding a thin layer of gold upon his inherently pale face, making it appear remarkably more vibrant with life.

Seeing the man still maintaining a stern expression as if he wanted to confront the entire world, he chuckled softly, his voice carrying a rarely seen gentle melody: "If you keep frowning like that forever, wrinkles will appear early. By then, people might mistakenly think I am staying beside a grumpy old uncle."
