Haleigh's eyes filled with fresh tears at this revelation.

"Who is that woman?"

Rosalynn handed her a tissue and said, "Please don't ask. Barlow said he owed that woman and didn't want us to seek revenge."

Haleigh wiped away her tears and said, “Barlow never told me anything.

He never shared his troubles with me. Why did fate treat him so cruelly? What did he do wrong? He was just a poor child!"

Rosalynn's heart ached, leaving her at a loss for words.

Indeed, Barlow was a kind-hearted man. Why did life have to be so unkind to such a good soul?

Why couldn't good people live longer?

This night was destined to be one of restless torment. A sleepless vigil of grief and unanswered questions.

After the cremation of Barlow's remains, Karina brought back his urn.

Haleigh refused to remain in the hospital any longer and opted to return to her apartment with Karina.

Rosalynn wanted to stay by Haleigh's side and take care of her, but Karina insisted otherwise.

“Rosalynn, I'll take care of Haleigh. You need to go home and get some rest."

Looking into Karina's weary, tear-stained eyes, Rosalynn understood what she meant.

As the woman who held Barlow's heart so dearly, Karina would treat his family as her own.

Rosalynn's heart weighed heavy with sorrow as she reached out to embrace Karina.

"Karina, please know you can call me anytime if you need anything."

"Okay," Karina replied softly, her voice barely audible.

Rosalynn, Maggie, and Sanford left Haleigh's home. They remained silent all the way.

The mood was so depressing.
