Lines of data codes flashed rapidly across the screen. Although Aylin couldn’t decipher their specific meanings, she recognized that this was IT hacking technology.

The man before her seemed to be teaching, her something “Here, give it a try yourself.” The man carefully instructed.

And it seemed as if her body was acting on its own accord, her hands automatically typing away on the keyboard.

She wanted to get closer to see the man’s face clearly and ask who he was, but her hands and feet seemed to be controlled, unable to move at all.

The man’s praise was pleasant to hear, “You’ve done very well. In just a few short months, you’ve already surpassed your master.”

“Of course!” she heard her own voice filled with joy and ambition, “After all, you admire strong people, so I must strive to be even better than you!”

He was rendered speechless.

After struggling intensely, she couldn’t act according to her will in the dream. Instead, it was Aylin who completely woke up from the dream.

She sat up in bed, her long hair draped over her shoulders, panting for breath.

Upon raising my head, I realized that the sky had already begun to brighten. Surprisingly, this dream had lasted the entire night.

Upon touching my weary eyes, I surprisingly find the corners damp, with traces of unshed tears lingering above.

Aylin felt as if she was in another world, her entire being floating as if she was no longer part of the mortal realm. It took her a while to snap out of her dreamlike state and realize that something was amiss.

She had no recollection of the man in her dream, yet their interactions were inexplicably intimate. Just a few words exchanged between them were enough to fill Aylin with a sense of inexplicable sorrow, leaving her overwhelmed with melancholy.

How strange…

Even so, the man kept calling her “Ayl” affectionately, which was too intimate. Robert had never called her that way before.

Who is this person?

Aylin couldn’t figure it out, her mind disturbed for no apparent reason. Unable to sleep, she decided to get up and freshen up.

As she descended the stairs, her long hair was already tied into a gentle, casual low ponytail. She wore a soft knitted cardigan, and the housekeepers made way for her as they saw her coming.

As Aylin passed through the living room, John, who was instructing the housekeeper, immediately noticed her pale complexion. He hurried over and said, “Good morning, Ms. Koch.”

Aylin nodded at him, “Good morning, John.”

John looked at the weariness in her brow and couldn’t help but worry for her. “Ms. Koch, you don’t look too well today. Did you not sleep well?”

Aylin rubbed her forehead and said, “Hmm, I don’t know why, but lately, I’ve been having really light sleep.”

John furrowed his brow, unable to hide his concern. “I’ve often heard Mr. Gardner mention that Ms. Koch has been suffering from insomnia lately. Have you been under too much stress? This isn’t good for your health…”

Aylin was well aware of the importance of sleep.

But she couldn’t directly control having many dreams, and she didn’t want John to worry, so she waved her hand and said, “It’s fine.”

“We can’t just ignore this,” John said, rubbing his hands together. “How about I make some nerve- calming celery soup for Ms. Koch tonight? It’ll help her relax.”

Speaking of “nerve-calming,” Aylin suddenly thought of something else that could calm her nerves – a skill she had put aside for several years. That was perfume making.

“Don’t worry, John, it’s just for nerve-calming, I have a solution.” Aylin sat down on the couch.

“John, please help me prepare some perfume ingredients.”

“Ms. Koch wants to make perfume?”

Upon hearing this, John’s eyes instantly lit up. “Great, great! Perfume making was something you were really good at before, Ms. Koch. I still treasure the sachet you made for me!”

Aylin smiled slightly, without any arrogance, “It’s no big deal, I learned all this from Grandma when I was young.”

John had been living with the Koch family for many years, and since he was just like a family member to Aylin, she naturally wanted to give him a gift to express her feelings.

Speaking of Aylin’s grandmother, John’s gaze couldn’t help but become slightly unfocused, as if thoughts had traveled to a distant past.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, “That’s true! Old Mrs. Koch’s skills in perfume making are unparalleled. I’ve never met anyone better at it in my entire life.”

Lydia Koch comes from an aristocratic family background. Not only is she well-versed in literature and poetry, but she also has a knack for creating exquisite fragrances.

She is a remarkable woman, well-known both near and far.

Philip passed away early, and Lydia was unlike the typical wealthy young ladies. She was not at all delicate and, although a woman, she possessed strong leadership qualities. She managed her subordinates well, and they all respected and obeyed her.

The widow, single-handedly supporting the entire Koch family with her child, was advised by some to remarry. However, she scolded them in return, displaying her strong will, wisdom, and impressive demeanor.

Aylin had mastered the art of perfume making from Lydia, and John had witnessed her skills as well.

He moved quickly, rushing to the back storeroom to take a look. He picked out a few commonly used perfume ingredients and carefully arranged them on a white porcelain plate.

“Ms. Koch, I’ve brought the ones you frequently use. Please take a look.”

Aylin’s fingertips gently caressed each porcelain plate on the table, feeling the exquisite quality of neroli, patchouli, and bergamot… all top-notch treasures.

Upon reaching the fourth plate, Aylin paused for a moment.

This perfume ingredient is Cananga.

She had once made a sachet for Gavyn that contained Cananga as an ingredient.

Cananga can help calm the mind, regulate emotions, and relieve mental stress. When used in combination with Cnidium, it can also warm the kidneys, strengthen yang energy, and dispel dampness and wind. This makes it an excellent choice for those suffering from work-related fatigue.

At that time, her memory had not yet recovered, but she still relied on her remaining knowledge and intuition to search for these few perfume ingredients. She then placed them in the lucky bag she had obtained through her earnest prayers, Although it’s not as powerful as when the memories were restored.

But it was also made after pulling an all-nighter, and it’s not inferior at all.

With this thought, Aylin couldn’t help but mock herself.

Gavyn never cherished anything she made by hand, so that sachet was probably thrown away by him long ago.

Shaking off the excess emotions from her mind, Aylin closed her eyes, intending to try her old craft once more. Indeed, it had been a while since she last made perfume, and she couldn’t help but feel a little restless.

John knew that Aylin didn’t like to be disturbed when she was making perfume, so he tactfully stepped aside and went to make coffee for Aylin.

This time, she plans to create a floral perfume oil.

The most important aspects of perfume oil are the proportions and ingredients. The essential oil must be pure, ensuring that it is free from impurities and undiluted, while the water used must be clean distilled water.

Aylin skillfully unfolded her imagination in her mind.

That was a peaceful and joyful utopia, free from the chaos of the world. What she sought was the carefree fragrance of the land of abundance.

One experiment after another, Aylin was utterly captivated by this enchanting journey.

Suddenly, as she tried sage, her body shuddered violently, and the intense headache almost made her lose her balance.

She had no choice but to put down the things in her hands, bend over to cover her temples, and take a deep breath.

“Ms. Koch!
