The director is agitated. Ever since Rory let go of John, she has been rushing around, so the director has been following behind Rory. She doesn't expect that Rory still comes to see Alex after having a car accident. Therefore, the director has called Bruce in panic.
But when they arrive here, they find that Rory is lying on the ground.
"It's your fault. You kill my daughter. Return my daughter to me."
Rory is already dead, about which Alex and Miya feels very guilty. They just want to leave, but now Rory dies in front of them.
Miya's face is wet with tears. She hasn't foreseen that things would turn out this way.
Alex recovers from shock. He knows that he can't be immersed in sadness, so he grabs Miya's hand and runs fast.
However, it's useless for them to run. Soon, they are captured by Bruce's subordinates. They are tied up and locked in a dark basement.
Miya is about to break down. She is surprised to return to this place. This is her nightmare in her life.
"What exactly do you want? What do you want us to do before you let us go?" she shouts at Bruce.
However, Alex is extremely calm.
"You kill my daughter and make my family so miserable. Do you think I will let you two go? I will cut you into pieces."
Miya sees Bruce's desire to take revenge, as if he is going to kill them now. She knows very well that Bruce means it. His tone is so serious that he shouldn't be joking.
"Actually, it's all my fault. It has nothing to do with him. If you want to take revenge, just kill me." Miya wants to take all the blame on herself.
But Alex says, "We don't need to beg him for mercy."
"Do you think you have a choice? I want both of you to die right now. You lead to my misery. I had a hard time looking for my daughter, but you caused her to die." Bruce flushes with anger, with the blue veins popping out in his face.
The director walks in with a whip in her hand. She is very heated and whips Miya ruthlessly, "You bitch. You should have died. The person who died shouldn't be my daughter at all."
Miya feels sorry for Rory. Facing all of this, she has nothing to say. She only bits her lips, because she decides to resign herself to her fate.
"I know that it is my fault. If you want to vent anger, just come at me. This has nothing to do with him." Miya wants to plead for Alex before she dies.
"We live and die together. So don't say those stupid words again," Alex says in an affectionate tone.
"As long as I'm with you, I'll be happy no matter whether I'm alive or dead." He closes his eyes calmly after finishing speaking.
