That “Mom” brought tears to Anna’s eyes.

Alice shuddered, mistaking Lauren’s longing tone for a call to her. She stared, but Lauren didn’t glance her

way.

Alice thought to herself, Lauric, I’m your mother. You’d her call a stranger “Mom” than me? Do you hate me that much? Realizing she was losing Lauren’s love, Alice’s heart shattered, the pain worse than her stab wound.

Lauren’s tears fell. “I’m so tired of living. I don’t want to go on.”

Madam Kate stepped closer, her voice urgent. “Dear, don’t be rash! If you jump, my heart will break. You’re still young, days are long ahead, and there’s so much beauty ahead.”

Anna, desperate, said, “Kid, don’t grieve for those who don’t deserve it. I’ll be your mother, you’ll be my daughter, okay?”

“Ms. Bennett, I’m begging you, please come down,” Marilyn begged.

Lauren’s eyes held despair and relief. “I know you all are kind, but I’m exhausted. The world’s unfair to me. I’ve tried so hard, yet I can’t escape the fate of being hurt.”

Lucas‘ hands trembled. It was as if he was afraid that if he let go, the person in his arms would disappear.

It was also at the moment when he hugged her that he clearly felt that she had already become skin and bones. She was almost weightless in his arms, as if she would break if she was bent slightly.

Lucas‘ heart was in a knot. Tears fell onto her blood–and–tear–streaked face as her desperate words echoed in his mind.

Elliot stood dazed, Lauren’s leap etched in his mind, leaving him hollow as if his soul had been taken away.

Alice crawled toward her, sobbing, “Laurie, my daughter…” Her voice carried regret and pain.

Marilyn blocked her, eyes widened, anger burning like fire, blocked in front of Lauren. “Madam Alice, spare us your crocodile tears. Ms. Bennett’s suffering is your family’s doing. You’re not qualified to call her daughter, you don’t deserve it. None of you deserve it. Get away! Don’t touch Ms. Bennett Marilyn said as

Alice collapsed, tears streaming.

Then, footsteps approached outside the room.
