"Because I want you back. Now that you appeared in my life again, do you think I can just let you go away?"When Martin inquired about it, Vic remembered what Hunter had said.

He was holding onto his strength until he discovered that she was actually still alive.Aside from that, Martin confessed his feelings for her.'That's why I didn't want him to know the truth,' Vic said to herself.Just then, Martin continued, "Besides, you have no place here. You aren't the real Victoria Red. How long are you going to fool Victoria's family?"Vic had a lump in her throat. Mikhail told her to keep it a secret from his parents.

Vic was tired of crying as she was in embraced of Sabby’s arms. But she felt most comfortable in this way.With saggy eyes, she looked at the woman who treated her as her own.“So, you are saying that you are only borrowing my daughter’s body. And that you will leave soon, is that so?” Sabby asked her while tapping her back.Vic nodded her head.Hearing that means that Sabby will reunite with Victoria in the future. However, she was also sad to let Vic go.“Can I ask you some questions?” Vic asked.“Whatever it is, dear.”“How could you accept me this easily? Aren’t you mad at me, mom?”Sabby gave her a faint smile and caressed her hair. “I was shocked, not mad.”If Sabby could add more, she wanted to tell her that she reminded her of her dead daughter. Rica was as polite and gentle as Vic. So, she really treated her as her own.‘If only I can keep both this child and Victoria,’ Sabby said to herself.“The time we spent together was special, Vic.

It's not something out of the ordinary.""When Victoria went into that coma, the doctor told us it would take a miracle for her to wake up. Maybe there are more mysteries in this world than we realize."He looked at his wife, his grip on her hand growing firmer. "Sweetheart, do you feel attached to that child because of Rica?"Sabby avoided his gaze. "It's a lie if I said no. That child, ever since she woke up, she really behaved like our dead eldest daughter. I thought Victoria's memories caused her to act like her sister. But even after uncovering the truth, I still choose to believe she's my daughter paying me a visit."Emma

All you have to do is crack a joke, tough guy," the team captain jeered at the bespectacled guy with neatly parted black hair.Victoria observed the frail student standing amidst the intimidating football players.

Vic questioned,Ian paused, meeting her gaze."You once attempted to harm me with poison. And now, you're tending to my wound. I just can't wrap my head around it."Ian nodded his head. "Because I loved you. I fell for you because you were kind to me in the past. It was also the same reason why I dedicated staying at Zoe's side for a long time. She was kind to me. I tend to fall for people who show kindness.""So, you're doing this out of love?""You can say it is. Speaking of the poison, how did you survive? I thought it would really kill you."Vic shut her lips.
