Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 305

Everything that had happened felt like a dream.

“Okay. I know you went to the other side of the Saltmere River, so I had Helen and Kate go over to help you.”

As he spoke, he took out the ring box I had told Kate to throw away. He opened it, revealing the ring that Claude had tossed into the pool that day.

A soft laugh escaped me.

“Max, let’s not think about that right now. All I want is for the people over there to have better lives. You have the power… please, make Lily pay for her crimes with her life.”

My voice turned cold. I had learned that indecisiveness would only get me killed.

Those who shouldn't exist, those who deserved to die long ago—why show them any mercy?

“Alright. According to the plan, I’ll keep Lily occupied here. As soon as I get Garrett out, I’ll see that she’s brought to trial. You need to be careful over there.”

I raised my hand and we linked pinkies in a promise. “Then we’ll meet at the summit.”

I didn’t know if I had reached a new height in my life, but I suddenly knew what I had to do: help these people truly escape poverty.

And make sure the real villains received the punishment they deserved.

Max let go of me and gently ruffled my hair. “I always thought I had to protect you, to shield you from the darkness. But Claire, you’re so much stronger than I ever gave you credit for. You can stand on your own two feet just fine.”

Then, he leaned in and placed a light kiss on my forehead.

And vanished into the darkness.

He carried the weight of more than just me; he had his brother and his country on his shoulders.
