Sophie looked at the brown paper bag in her hand with surprise. Although she did not open it, she was certain its contents were related to Tristan's incident."Why help me?" She asked."Because some emotions in life are best experienced once," Cedric replied in a low, pain-tinged voice. Each word sounded light, yet he struggled to suppress his desire to vent.Five years ago, he missed an opportunity and since then endured years filled with feelings worse than death. He didn't want to go through that again!Sophie's slender fingers tightened as she held her breath. She didn't dare to look up, fearing that the indifference in her eyes and the hidden hatred couldn't suppress the deep-seated weakness within. Slowly, she closed her eyes and offered a subtle smile.'Yes, some emotions in life are best experienced only once.'Like the feeling of loving someone so profoundly, only to be deeply hurt. Like the feeling of dying, yet still holding onto intense hatred.'"Thank you," she said

"Mrs. Carrie, could you please take half a day of leave for me?" Cherry asked."Why? Are you feeling unwell?" Mrs. Carrie's smile immediately turned into a look of concern and seriousness.The little girl shook her head and clasped her arm flatteringly. "I'm not feeling unwell, but I want to visit a friend at the hospital."'Ms. Cherry's friend? Could it be...'"Tristan is so pitiful. I just want to go and see him, just one glance. Mrs. Carrie, I know you're the best in the world."She shook Mrs. Carrie's arm with her tiny hands, expressing her desire to visit Tristan. The news had mentioned he was going abroad for treatment, leaving her unsure when she would see him again. She felt a need to check on him.Mrs. Carrie, feeling a bit dizzy from Cherry's vigorous shaking, hesitated for a moment before giving in. "Just a quick look, then we'll hurry back to school, alright?""Deal! Mrs. Carrie, I love you so, so, so much!" Cherry grinned, her eyes almost disappearing into two tiny

The journalist's instinct was to avoid becoming a meat shield, but with so many people watching, he felt compelled to defend justice. "Ms. Brynd, intentionally injuring someone is a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment.""I won't allow this woman, who's full of lies, to stain my knife." Valerie declared. In contrast to Vivienne, who continued to manipulate public sentiment, Valerie's tears cascaded like uniform pearls, each one a testament to her anguish.She then pressed the paring knife in her hand directly against the carotid artery on her neck. "Vivienne Kerrigan, you caused me to miscarry. You even had the audacity to have journalists publish articles slandering me. I don't want to live anymore. Today, I'll use this worthless life to expose your true malice to everyone!"No one in the crowd had expected the situation to take such a drastic turn, and their hearts twitched in response.Valerie was a true professional, tears streaming down her face without pause. As she li

"She'll emerge on her own? Why do I feel more confused the more I listen?" Jeanna could not understand what Sophie meant. They had been searching for so long and had not found anyone. How would someone so well-hidden come out of hiding on their own?Sophie withdrew her thoughts and said with a faint smile, "You don't need to understand anything, Just wait with Linda for the revelation."-As soon as lunchtime passed, the corridors of the inpatient department became particularly quiet. Patients were all napping, and nurses took advantage of this time to rest or relax in the break room.A woman dressed strangely emerged cautiously from the stairwell, glanced at the signs in the corridor, and headed toward Vivienne's ward. She paused at the doorway, her trembling hands adjusting her dark coat nervously before finally grasping the door handle.Hearing the sound, Vivienne assumed it was the nurse returning with fruit. She was about to ask about the delay when she encountered an aged fa

"Cedric, please don't do this to me. Tristan would be heartbroken if he knew." Vivienne desperately clutched Cedric's trousers.But using Tristan as her shield only darkened Cedric's expression further. "When you used Tristan without caring about his life or death, did you ever think he'd be heartbroken too? You're not worthy of being a mother at all!"Two officers approached and lifted her from the ground, one on each side.Vivienne struggled, unable to maintain composure. "I'm not worthy?! But why did I do this?! Cedric, it's you! You're the one who forced me!"For the past five years, he had tormented her with indifference every day, yet she hadn't minded, hoping he would accept her again someday. But as soon as Sophie reappeared, he wasn't even willing to torment her anymore.How could she let herself lose what she had fought so hard to regain?Cedric frowned and glanced at the police officer beside him. "Take her away."When the police were about to escort her out, Evander
