The hardships behind all of this were known to her alone.
And once Aurora learned the truth about Tessa’s identity, the sense of imbalance in her heart only grew heavier.
Why could Grace care so deeply for another child, yet treat her own biological daughter with such cruelty?
Aurora could not help wondering whether Grace’s conscience ever stirred.
But seeing Grace like this now—had she truly come to regret it?
Aurora hesitated.
As she was thinking, Grace reached out and grabbed her.
“Aurora, this time, I truly understand where I went wrong.”
As she spoke, Grace’s voice trembled with emotion.
“What are you trying to say?”
Aurora looked at Grace coldly.
In that instant, Grace realized something clearly.
Aurora was no longer the same person she once was.
Her heart had been completely shattered.
There was no way she could return to who she used to be.
“I just want to open my heart and show it to you.”
As she spoke, Grace kept pointing to her chest.
“I know I did many things wrong before, but I truly want to make it up to you now.”
“But do you really think apologies that come too late still matter?”
Aurora looked down at Grace from above.
At that moment, Grace understood with painful clarity that there was not a trace of pity in Aurora’s eyes.
It was as if she were looking at a stranger.
No, not a stranger.
