    Alden was in aplicated state of mind. “Is… is Aunt Kaia okay?”

    “Kaia’s fine. She just needs to stay in the hospital and rest for a week. She went through a lot and almost died. Don’t be too sad. Some things are out of your control. We’ve… done all we could.”

    After hanging up the phone, Alden sat there in a daze for a long time.

    The memories of Luna in his head were fading, and even her face was getting blurry.

    In contrast, every smile and frown of Kaia was deeply engraved in his heart.

    “Sorry. As long as you’re okay.”

    Sadly, no one would ever hear his soft murmur.

    Sally was led out of the cell, told that someone was here to visit

    was impossible.

    Lama wondered who on earth woulde to visit Sally. Kimberly was already gone.

    Half an hourter, Sally came back.

    “Sally, how was it? Who came to see you?”

    Sally shook her head. “My older brother.”

    Luna pressed. “What did he say? Did he mention something about Kimberly?”

    If the Martins family were smart, they wouldn’t expose themselves.

    After all, they were the ones behind Kimberly’s death.

    “Nothing much.” Sally averted her gaze. It seemed that something was on her mind.

    Alex came to the hospital to visit Kaia, visibly uneasy.

    Guilt weighed heavily on him, and he was clearly afraid Lucien iwould /ihold him responsible,

    “Kaia, are you alright?” he asked, wringing his hands.

    “I’m really sorry. Our background checks clearly weren’t thorough enough. You suffered because of my negligence.”

    Truthfully, Jerry had been introduced by one of Alex’s personal contacts. He’d never imagined things would spiral like this.

    Kaia offered him a reassuring smile. “It’s alright, Mr. Miller. This wasn’t your fault.”

    Still, with Lucien sitting nearby, his face cold and unreadable, Alex barely dared to breathe too loudly.

    Kaia noticed the nervous nces Alex kept stealing toward Lucien and decided to help ease the tension.

    She shot Lucien a discreet look, then turned to Alex and said warmly, “Mr. Miller, please–have some fruit.”

    Lucien grunted and silently got up to break off a banana for him.

    Alex was stunned. “Th–thank you, Mr. Graves. I can do it myself.b” /b

    After Alex finally left, Lucien gave a soft, derisive snort.

    Kaia couldn’t helpughing. “Don’t be so petty.”

    “Petty?” Lucien raised an eyebrow.

    “He hired someone that dangerous into your office. If I hadn’t noticed something was off and had Jerry transferred out, who knows what else could’ve happened? He’s lucky I didn’t fire him on the spot.”

    Kaia reached for his hand and gently rubbed her cheek against his palm.

    “Okay, okay… don’t stay mad. I knew you’de for me. Thank you, love. I’ll be more careful from now on. I’ll protect myself— and our babies.”

    Lucien traced her lips with his thumb, his eyes softening.

    “Don’t say that. Youe first. Always. You’re more important than anything else.”

    Kaia leaned in, whispering against his ear.

    “Lucien, I love you. More than I ever realized. I was so scared… of losing you, of never seeing you again.”

    It was the first time she’d ever said those words out loud–and to Lucien, it felt like sunlight breaking through a storm. He was absolutely over the moon.

    “Say it again,” he murmured, cupping her face in both hands. “Look at me and say it again.”

    Blushing, Kaia met his eyes. “I love you, Lucien. So much.”

    He kissed her softly, reverently. “And I love you. More than I know how to say.”

    A weekter, Kaia was shocked to learn that Luna had died in

    prison.

    She tilted her head towards Lucien, asking, “Honey, did you…”

    “Yeah. I just had someone tell Sally the whole process of Kimberly’s suicide. I didn’t do anything else.”

    Lucien had merely nted a seed of hatred in Sally’s heart.

    He hadn’t expected her to do much.

    Still, the result was within his prediction,

    “Are you scared of me?”

    Kaia wasn’t ungrateful. How could she be scared of the man who loved her because of this?

    She shook her head. “Honey, this has nothing to do with you. You didn’t do anything. It was all Luna’s own doing.”

    If Luna hadn’t been so obsessed with Kaia, she might have had a better ending.

    But unfortunately, there were no ifs.

    Zane and Joanne simply took care of Luna’s funeral

    arrangements.

    Luna’s death hit Joanne hard. After all, she’d raised the girl. Even without blood ties, it was extremely painful.

    Both Zane and Alden, who knew the truth, didn’t tell her.

    Joanne wailed in front of Luna’s tomb, “Sally is so evil. She lost her own daughter, but why did she have to drag my Luna down with her?b” /b

    Zane didn’t say a word. He just ced a bouquet of flowers in front of Luna’s tombstone.

    He silently hoped that Luna would be reborn into a better family next time, that she wouldn’tck love, wouldn’t be so paranoid, and could live a more carefree life.

    Alden showed no expression on his face. He’de back 17:36 specifically and stood in front of Luna’s grave for a long time.

    “Alden,e home with me.” Joanne and Zane were divorced, so the home she referred to was her natal family’s.

    Alden shook his head. “Mom, if you’re not happy here, you can go abroad with me.”

    Joanne was a bit tempted. “I’ll think about it.”

    In the aftermath, Alden and Zane grew even more taciturn.

    Rather than going back to the Graves Manor, Alden decided to take off. He imed there was a mountain of work waiting for him overseas and hopped on a flight.

    His departure was sudden, leaving everyone in the dark about what was churning in his mind.

    Meanwhile, behind the prison bars, Jerry’s world came crashing down when he got the news of Luna’s death. Hepletely lost it.

    He started pacing back and forth in his cell, muttering and shouting without making any sense.

    Then, out of frustration and grief, he began pping himself 778
