She laughed. It was a laughter more haunting than tears.

She repeated, "I loved Harold the most.”

Several police officers entered the room, apprehended Aline, and took the recording pen.

Aline would face murder charges, and she could potentially receive the death penalty for her numerous crimes.

Aline stumbled out of the room.

At the door, she turned around abruptly and looked at Rena, saying softly, “I have one last question. The nursery director mentioned that my daughter was adopted by a foreign couple who are archaeology experts. Is that true?"

Rena remained seated inside the room, her face obscured by the light.

After a moment, she replied, "Yes, it's true. They are decent people."

Aline smiled.

Two tears trickled down her cheeks and soaked into her luxurious fur.

Perhaps, this was the last time she'd ever wear fur in her life.

Once Aline had left the room, everything fell silent.

Krista and Addie thanked Rena, then left, supporting each other.

The bodyguards exited discreetly, and everyone else followed suit.

Rena felt profoundly weary. She leaned on Waylen's shoulder and whispered, “Waylen, revenge doesn't bring me much happiness. In fact, it weighs heavily on my heart."

Waylen let Rena rest against his shoulder, gently stroking her hair.

“Even if it's heavy, it's something we had to do, isn't it? Honey, you're intelligent and brave. I hold you in high regard."

His words comforted her.

She wrapped her arms around Waylen's waist and murmured, “I might not have expressed it before, but I truly appreciate you."

She rubbed her head against his chest.

"“Waylen, you were truly brave when you went up the mountain on that snowy night."

She appreciated his courage, thanked him for embarking on a journey to recover his lost memories, and appreciated the second chance he'd given them to love each other.
