A second later, a truck barreled right at them!

In the face of impending disaster, Theodore acted instinctively, unbuckling his seatbelt and shielding Ariana within his embrace, preparing for the inevitable impact!

In the blink of an eye, tragedy struck Like a thunderbolt, shattering Ariana's world, and she plunged into unconsciousness.

As time gradually regained its grip, Ariana struggled to find her footing amidst the swirling tempest of dizziness and disorientation.

Covered in blood, she fought through the haze, inching her way out of the car wreckage. Enduring the pain, she turned and determinedly pulled Theodore and Horace from the car.

“Come on, Theodore! Wake up!" she called, but Theodore remained motionless. Turning to Horace, she called out, “Horace, wake up!"

Both Theodore and Horace lay there, wreathed in blood, badly injured.

Meanwhile, the reckless truck driver who didn't wear a seatbelt, met his tragic end after being ejected from the truck!

With no one around to help her, Ariana gritted her teeth, scouring the scene for a mobile phone.

When Helen abducted her, her phone was thrown away and she had no idea where it ended up.

A glimmer of hope emerged as she stumbled upon Theodore's phone, but its shattered screen proved an insurmountable barrier to calling for help.

Desperation gripped Ariana like a relentless vise, her body a canvas of agony, each wound a brushstroke of pain. Though she attempted to stand time and again, she stumbled with each effort, like a marionette entangled in strings.

When she fell again, despite her best efforts to get up, she accidentally pressed on something and, to her surprise, heard a childlike voice of a girl.

It was Marley's beloved possession, the very teddy bear that Helen had taken from her.

It turned out that Horace had taken it to the car as well.

Intrigued, Ariana pressed the bear's belly again, and the teddy bear spoke!

"Theodore, Little did you know, I hid the words I yearned to share inside this teddy bear's belly," the voice echoed.

“I forgive you, Theodore. Our mother's passing was not your fault in any way."

Ariana listened intently, replaying the message until its meaning dawned on her.

Clasping the bear close, she mustered her strength and moved to Theodore's side.
