In the end, Sam carried Deirdre's lifeless body inside the crematorium.

The assistant entered and then halfway out, her face filled with grief. "Mr. Brighthall, Ms. McKinnon has entered."

Brendan seemed to have just realized it and followed inside, his dark eyes reflecting the blaze of the fire. Suddenly, he turned and walked away.

"Mr. Brighthall!"

"Bring back her ashes!"

Soon, the assistant departed with the ashes.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the crematorium.

Deirdre coughed and regained consciousness. Her body still felt numb and freezing. She looked up and said, "Sterling, Sam."

Sam's eyes were red-rimmed.

"It's all over now. No one in this world will hurt you anymore. You are free," Sterling comforted her.

"Thank you."

Deirdre lowered her gaze.

Her surgery had been successful, and after a day and a night of arduous efforts, her life had been saved. However, the toxins in her body hadn't been completely eliminated.

Deirdre had come up with a permanent solution

    Deirdre must not be allowed to return alive!Emily dialed a phone number, her eyes filled with malice, and gave her instructions. "Handle this matter discreetly, ensuring that no one discovers it, especially Ryker Wight."That lunatic... He had personally unearthed Deirdre's grave, attempting to prove that she hadn't died. Over the past four years, he had become increasingly insane, so it wouldn't be surprising if news of Deirdre's survival had reached him.As Emily pondered this in her heart, she heard a shattering sound. She quickly turned and saw a 4-year-old boy standing at the door, carrying a backpack and stepping on broken fragments.Emily breathed a sigh of relief. "Sean, why did you come back home so early today?"The boy's appearance resembled a combination of Brendan and Deirdre, with similar eyebrows, eyes, and nose. Because of his young age, he looked like a fragile paper doll, but his eyes seemed hollow.He remained silent, but Emily wasn't bothered by it.The boy

    As Emily spoke, Brendan's guilt became even more evident in his eyes. "I'm sorry," he said, his gaze lowered. "Because of me, I couldn't make you a real mother.""Don't say that, Brendan." Emily's sad expression suddenly shifted, and she comforted him instead. "I love you, and choosing to be with you is a decision I wholeheartedly embraced."Brendan nodded. "I'm glad you understand me. If anything comes up with Sean, you can always let me know. If he doesn't listen to you, I'll make sure to handle it appropriately."Alright, I hope it becomes easier for you."Brendan patted Emily's shoulder and headed toward the study.Emily looked up and couldn't help but speak, "Brendan."Brendan paused. "What's wrong?"Emily forced a smile. "It's nothing..."She was genuinely curious. Had Brendan not heard any news about Deirdre? Or had Ryker's hypnosis gradually made him forget about her existence?"I just wanted to ask if you noticed anything on your way back," Emily asked."What happene

    "Carry Tilly while I take these things into the villa and put away anything that could easily harm Tilly," Sterling said as he playfully pinched the little girl's cheek after he got out of the car.Tilly's eyes gleamed as she held out a gift for Sterling. He couldn't help but laugh and accept it. "So much drool," he remarked.Deirdre wiped the drool off Tilly's chin. "Go ahead. I'll wait here for you.""Okay," Sterling answered.Carrying the suitcase, Sterling entered the villa while Deirdre looked around at the beautiful surroundings. It wasn't much different from the environment back in Germia. It seemed Tilly would adapt well to this place.Sterling was always attentive to details. After a while, Tilly, who had been well-behaved in his arms, tried to get down. Deirdre had to put her on a nearby park bench and remind her not to climb around.Tilly nodded vigorously, and as soon as Deirdre let go, she crawled forward with her head tilted.Coincidentally, it was a green area, an

    "How did you get here? I came out of the house and couldn't find you and Tilly. I thought—" Sterling glanced around and spotted Sean hiding behind Deirdre. He was momentarily stunned and asked, "Who is he?"Deirdre exchanged a look with Sterling. "Is the house ready? Take Tilly inside first."Even though Sterling had no idea what was happening, he nodded and carried Tilly into the villa. The group entered the house.During their entry, Deirdre couldn't help but observe Sean. His face seemed oddly familiar, though she couldn't pinpoint why...She noticed that his gaze lacked the usual naivety for someone his age. Instead, he appeared delicate, like a fragile marionette. He showed no opinion and displayed no fear toward strangers. All he seemed to care about was the puppy in his arms.Deirdre felt pity for him, so she held his hand and said, "I'll give you a shower first while Uncle Sterling prepares a meal. You can eat after you've showered."Sean allowed himself to be led by her.

    Sterling agreed silently, as the baby's gender had already been determined and couldn't change after birth."I must be overthinking then. However, it is quite a coincidence that you encountered the child," Sterling remarked, casting a sympathetic look toward Sean.She approached Sean and asked, "What's going on? Are you finished with your bath?"Sean nodded, his gaze fixed on the puppy without blinking. He was too shy to leave the bathroom, so he hid behind a door, exposing only his eyes.Deirdre quickly understood the situation and found it amusing. "Sterling, do you have a smaller shirt?"Sterling acted swiftly and found a shirt that no longer fit him. However, when Sean put it on, it was still oversized and trailed on the floor, making it inconvenient for him to walk.Deirdre resorted to trimming the shirt to a suitable length with scissors.Once freed, Sean immediately ran toward the puppy. However, he still refused to talk and remained guarded against the world.Realizing

    Brendan's tone was calmer as he admitted, "I take responsibility for not managing your relationship with him properly."He instructed the bodyguard, "Continue searching for Sean. Expand the search area and review all surveillance footage."The bodyguard left, and Emily asked, "Brendan, are you attending the charity ball that Deirdre will be attending?""Why?" Brendan inquired.Emily suppressed the hesitation in her gaze. "I was thinking that you would receive an invitation to the event. It crossed my mind that I could attend as your female companion, allowing me to connect with several people."Brendan remained silent for a moment before speaking. "If you want to go, I'll take you there. I also want to find out if Deirdre knows anything about Sean's whereabouts. If she is indeed involved in his disappearance, I won't let her get away with it."-On the day of the dinner party, Deirdre stood before the mirror, examining herself.She wore a black silk gown that gracefully hugged

    Someone in the group mocked her, saying, "How is that possible? I heard Deirdre has been in Germia and hasn't returned to the country. How could you have seen her before?""Forget it if you don't believe me." The woman pouted. "I can't remember her name, but I'm sure I've seen her in Neve before."The group ignored the comment, and the woman changed the topic of conversation.Meanwhile, Deirdre walked past them and stood alone in a dark corner, sipping her drink.She knew the woman might have seen her at parties when she attended as Brendan's wife years ago.Even if the woman recognized her, she would only remember Charlene's face, not connecting them as the same person.Deirdre was halfway through her drink when a commotion erupted in the room.She looked up and saw a couple entering through the door.She clenched her fist tightly, her eyes filled with coldness as she saw their faces clearly.Brendan still looked the same.

    Emily glared fiercely at Deirdre from beneath the stage, gnashing her teeth tightly. Deirdre could see now, and she appeared even more beautiful and alluring than before. Emily couldn't deny that she had panicked when she saw Deirdre.She quickly turned her head to look at the man beside her. Brendan's dark eyes reflected Deirdre's image, and he never looked away from her. Restless, Emily couldn't resist tugging at Brendan's sleeve."What's happening?" Brendan asked, lowering his head to hear her.Emily forced a chuckle. "I'm not feeling well, Brendan. Could you please get me some antacid from a waiter?""Sure." Brendan complied without hesitation. He would always fulfill Emily's requests without complaint.By the time he returned, Deirdre's performance had ended, and the crowd erupted in thunderous applause. He handed the medicine and water to Emily. She leaned close to Brendan, grabbing the medicine and stuffing it into her mouth to display their love to Deirdre. It brought her

    "Where is she?"Brendan stared at him, utterly surprised. Sean's voice trembled a bit, but his eyes held a clear and hopeful gaze.Brendan finally calmed down and looked behind him. "There, that's your mother."This was the first time Sean had spoken. Deirdre felt her mind buzzing. When she snapped back to reality, she extended her hand. "Sean, come here."Sean's eyes held gentle amazement. He was intelligent—perhaps he had sensed it on the way there. Thus, his feelings were a blend of happiness and satisfaction.He felt joy that Deirdre was going to be his mother.Being a kid, he took a few steps but couldn't stop his tears, holding onto Deirdre firmly.Deirdre suppressed her own urge to cry and crouched down, wiping away his tears. "Do you... hate mom for not being there and not recognizing you?"Sean shook his head frantically. "As long as you're here… That's enough…"Deirdre hugged him tightly, and Brendan approached, wrapping them both in his embrace.When they brought S

    "I was too young back then, still sulking with my father," Brendan replied after recalling his childhood.Arthur chuckled. "Kids will be kids, after all. Besides, your father was an excellent businessman, and you've followed in his footsteps. I've heard about your impressive success with the business in Neve. You're truly talented. With the Parkers under your control, I can finally relax." Brendan thought it was just praise from an elder. He was about to give a humble response when he got surprised by the rest of the statement. This made him freeze in place."The Parkers?" Deirdre was equally surprised."What's wrong?" Arthur beamed. "Don't you both already have children? Although you've divorced, your relationship is still strong. Don't tell me there's no thought of remarriage?""Remarriage? It's not the right time yet." Deirdre blushed from the teasing."It'll come eventually. If that's the case, then you are both part of the Parkers now. You're my only daughter, and he's my s

    Beneath the envelope lay the evidence. Deirdre stared at it for a long time, with Brendan by her side, offering silent support.The next day, they boarded a plane back to Southedge. Within three days, news of the top political figure's downfall due to corruption spread like wildfire throughout Southedge, even captivating the interest of other cities.Upon learning the full story in his study, Arthur's aging face was stained with tears of regret. "If only I had known sooner... I wouldn't have let your mother leave like that."Deirdre lowered her gaze and handed the letter to Arthur. "My mother explains in the letter that her departure was a voluntary sacrifice to protect everyone. She never blamed you."Arthur gazed at the letter, struggling to find the right words.Deirdre left silently, shutting the door.-Ryker was also brought to the police station. Under Sterling's methods, he confessed to the murders. Emily faced the same outcome.All of them waited for their trials.-

    The distance from Southedge to Village Alnwick was immense, yet Brendan displayed unwavering resolve."Then let's depart today," he said.As Deirdre bid farewell to Arthur, an unexpected glimmer of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Visiting your mother's grave, huh? Okay, go ahead. Take care of yourself, don't overexert.""Yes," Deirdre replied. Faced with Arthur's hesitant gaze, she felt compelled to add, "Dad, I'll be back."Arthur met Deirdre's gaze, hope rekindling in his eyes.Deirdre softly sighed. "You're my father, my family. Of course, I'll return." "Really? You mean it?" Arthur's excitement made his hands tremble slightly. He held onto Deirdre as if wanting to convey something, but all that emerged was a murmur, "Then please return early... Come back as soon as you can...""Sure. I have a friend coming over later today. Take care of him. Oh, and my boyfriend is here, too. Don't worry about the specifics. I'll explain everything upon my return."As she stepped out, Bren

    "Brendan Brighthall?" Ryker wiped away his own nosebleed. "How did you manage to come from Neve? Didn't I ask Emily to keep an eye on you? That useless fool who can't even accomplish simple tasks.""Choosing to control minds with drugs all along, you should have anticipated this outcome." Brendan acted roughly. As he got up, he took the key from Ryker and placed Ryker on a chair.Deirdre clenched Brendan's sleeve tightly. Sensing her tension, Brendan embraced her to calm her down."It's okay. I'm sorry for coming back so late, making you go through this.""It's not your fault. Your timely arrival saved me from further trouble. It's my own foolishness... I let him find something to use against me," Deirdre said, shaking her head weakly.Brendan frowned, cupping Deirdre's face. "He wasn't someone easily deceived, to begin with. You've done well. I'm the one who brought you into this danger, which is unforgivable."Brendan's dark eyes were filled with intense emotions. He had arrive

    Deirdre hugged Ryker, resting her head on his chest as he patted her back. "By the way, you're not curious about where I went after I left early this morning?"Deirdre realized the hidden meaning behind Ryker's words, retreated from Ryker's embrace little by little, and looked at him.Ryker's eyes, as enigmatic as ever, held a clarity that seemed to pierce through everything. "I went to the hospital."He didn't wait for Deirdre to respond. "Because I was curious why I was so sleepy last night for no reason. Any ordinary person might chalk it up to exhaustion. But I know my body too well. You drugged me."Deirdre felt a sudden chill running down her spine.Ryker took a step forward casually, but his eyes were full of killing intent. "I underestimated you, Deirdre. Your acting skills are far more impressive than I imagined. You nearly had me fooled. You deserve an Oscar. What a pity that you're now in my hands."Deirdre retreated abruptly, but she found a cold wall barring her esca

    Deirdre was momentarily stunned as she watched Arthur search around the study. Eventually, he uncovered a rusty key from a drawer.Arthur raised the key. "Is this what your mother desired?"Deirdre's mind raced, thoughts swirling. "Is this from my mother?"A hint of disappointment shadowed Arthur's eyes as he nodded. "This is the only thing she left me before she departed. She didn't explain why. She just made me promise to keep this key and never search for her."Although I agreed, the thought of it weighed heavily on me. So, I hid the key in a corner of the drawer instead of treating it like any other possession. In hindsight, I shouldn't have made that promise. I shouldn't have let her go alone."Deirdre's voice wavered, confusion evident. But as realization dawned, her heart raced. "Can you give me the key?"Arthur earnestly nodded, his expression solemn. "This belongs to your mother. I'm willing to give it to you whenever you're ready. To be honest, I'm relieved to pass it o

    The butler nodded and guided Deirdre to the study's door. Gathering her emotions, she pushed it open.Arthur's attention was on some documents, but the door's creak made him look up. He met Deirdre's gaze, causing a subtle flicker of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes."Deirdre..." He set aside the file. "Did you just wake up? Hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something."Deirdre shook her head, closing the door gently."Not hungry. I came to talk.""Everything okay?" Concern colored Arthur's expression. Though he seemed worried she might leave, he tried to hide it. "Go ahead. I'm with you."Deirdre found his reaction slightly amusing. "I'm not leaving."A spark returned to Arthur's eyes. "Then what's up?"As Deirdre grew more serious, she said, "I came to Southedge not just for a visit. I want to know if my mother left something with you before she passed. Something significant.""Left something?" Arthur was puzzled. "She left several things. Which one do you mean?"De

    Brendan's eyes held a hint of pity as he spoke hesitantly. "Your mother took that item away."He gently touched Deirdre's face. "That man kidnapped your mother years ago. I don't know what happened during that time. Maybe he hurt your mother and wanted to keep her forcibly. Eventually, your mother found a chance to escape back to your father with the man's item."She left suddenly while pregnant with you, not out of hatred for your father, but to protect you. Now, that person is unsure if your mother or Arthur has the item. Thus, he aimed to kidnap both you and your father, taking his time to retrieve them."Deirdre's mind was overwhelmed, flooded with information that threatened to drown her. This unexpected revelation left her in disbelief.'My mother left my father because of me? And the mastermind behind Ryker is responsible for my mother's kidnapping?'"So that item holds significant importance for this person, enough to bring him down, right?"
