Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 The End of the Road

“No matter what happens between you two in the future, Judy and I both hope you can live well.

“We hope this letter helps you stay away from disaster and pain. Only then can we rest in peace.”

After reading the letter, Raymond pulled every string he had. He used all his people and every piece of tech available. They searched the area mentioned in Daisy’s letter–the place where Melody was believed to be buried.

They searched inch by inch. In the end, their effort paid off. They found a set of old, weathered bones. A blade with a distinct Praonian style was still stuck in the skull.

DNA tests confirmed it. The remains belonged to Melody. She was Hillary’s biological mother.

Agnes went to Larry. He was the driver involved in the accident. She told his family to move right away. After that, she contacted Raymond. The two of them worked together and staged a plan.

They made Harvey confess everything himself. He was the main killer. Hillary was his accomplice.

For Hillary, it was a devastating blow. Her dream of marrying into wealth shattered. She learned the truth. And then she was sent to prison.

One month later, the police released the final verdict.

Harvey was involved in multiple illegal operations and several murder cases. He was sentenced to death.

Hillary, as an accomplice to murder and participant in multiple criminal deals, received life in prison.

Agnes, thoughtful as always, made a special arrangement. She had Hillary placed in the same prison as Ursa and Jillian.

That way, the three of them could stay together–like “good friends” behind bars. They would never be lonely.

It was said that during yard time, the three of them would stand behind the fence and curse Agnes nonstop.

They annoyed the other inmates so much that they often got beaten up in private. Even then. they kept yelling.

Outside, the world slowly returned to peace.

Agnes did not go back with Raymond to the mansion. She stayed in her small courtyard hom

The misunderstandings were gone. But the pain from the past had not fully faded.

Raymond was full of regret. He didn’t push her.

Instead, he quietly started chasing her again. Every day, he would “just happen” to run into he He would help her solve problems, big or small.

He forced his way back into every corner of her life, caring for her in every possible way.

He brought her food and drinks she liked. When she worked late, he would “happen” to pass b and drive her home.

On rainy days, there would always be an extra umbrella waiting at her door.

Once, she just sneezed. The next day, a whole box of cold medicine, vitamin C, and ginger tea showed up outside her house.

Little by little, the anger and resistance in Agnes’s heart faded. But getting back together? She never thought about it.

One day, after finishing work, Agnes reached out to Raymond first and asked to meet.

Raymond was so excited he could barely contain himself. It was the first time she had contacted him.

He couldn’t hide his joy. He wondered if she had finally been moved by everything he had done, if she had changed her mind.

They met in the small town where they had grown up.

Raymond held a bouquet of flowers. From a distance, he saw Agnes standing under the tree with the carved words: A Luv R.

“Agnes!”

She turned around and smiled. “You make it.”

Raymond handed her the bouquet. “Your favorite–lilies.”

Agnes looked down at the flowers. Her long lashes trembled slightly. “Thank you, but how did you even find lilies this time of year?”

2/4

Raymond smiled, pleased to see she liked them.

“If you like them, I can get them any time.”

Agnes didn’t reply. She just smiled faintly.

“Agnes,” Raymond said, “why did you choose this place? Did you want to come back and take: look?”

She stayed quiet for a moment. Her expression was complicated. Then she took out two keys from her bag and placed them in his hand.

Raymond frowned. “What are these?”
