### Summary
The narrative advances significantly with a time skip, revealing that Roel has regained the ability to walk. While some readers expressed disappointment at not witnessing the incremental steps of his recovery, the overwhelming sentiment is pride in his progress. This development fuels a prominent fan theory that "aura," the key to his healing, is powered by strong emotions; his current recovery is attributed to the love and support from Lamille, whereas his villainous path in the original novel was likely fueled by rage and a desire for revenge. The couple's relationship deepens, culminating in a highly anticipated "almost-kiss" that left readers both delighted and intensely frustrated when it was comically interrupted. Amidst the widespread desire for more intimacy, smaller moments resonated, such as Roel’s heartfelt gift of an embroidered handkerchief, which readers found incredibly sweet. While the romance is central, the underlying conspiracy continues to simmer, with new suspicions arising around a character named Baron Dallas. Readers continue to praise the realistic depiction of physical therapy while eagerly awaiting a consummated kiss and a potential role-reversal where a recovered Roel takes a more dominant role.
