Hello, everyone! Regular updates resume today. Thank you very much for your patience! I had to take a long break because of health issues. It was pretty bad, that's why it took more than 3 months. But I'm okay now, so please don't worry. I'm very excited to resume HGWS. There's still a long way to go to the finish line, so many more revelations & happenings, but I'm determined to write it until the end. Once again, thank you for waiting. Please enjoy today's chapters!
