Agnes felt a pit in her stomach. No matter what punishment Laura faced, her parents were never coming back.

Jared sighed regretfully, “She can’t accept her return to her original state, she’s practically delirious. She’s at St.

just felt an overwhelming sense of
sorrow
Their father’s longstanding wish was for them to live in harmony, but since childhood, they were like two trees in
the desert, fighting for resources until death.
Jared could see Agnes‘ sadness.
He gave her shoulders a comforting rub, “Don’t dwell on it. I want to take you to meet someone this afternoon”
Agnes looked up. “Who?”
Jared, playing coy, responded, “It’s a secret.”
Agnes‘ curiosity was piqued, and she slowly started to forget her troubles. Despite her probing, Jared kept mum
about their rendezvous.
In the evening, Jared took Agnes to a Thai restaurant.

preoccupied. She kept pressing Jared about the secret guest. But Jared remained silent
After a while, the door to the private room finally opened.

Agnes was deeply grateful to Ivan for every gesture, every deed. Hearing his voice again after four years, Agnes
felt a lump in her throat.
Jared chimed in, “Are you two done hugging? A little hug is fine.”
Ivan let go of Agnes, laughing. “Jared, don’t be so jealous”
Agnes turned to Mamie, “Mamie, aren’t you going to hug me?”
Mamie looked upset, “Agnes, you disappeared for four years. We were worried about you all this time, unable to
find any trace of you. Did you think would forgive you just because you suddenly appeared?” As she spoke, tears
welled up in Mamie’s eyes.
