Whitney learned of Christopher's death through the news.The once self-made entrepreneur had worked so hard to build his business empire, only for Lennox to bring it all crashing down.Whitney had someone deliver a funeral wreath on her behalf, with an inscription she had written herself.After all, Christopher had always treated her well.Her lawyer informed her that the court had finalized her divorce from Lennox.He had one more piece of news for her.Winona was dead.The last time Whitney had seen her name, it had been splashed across entertainment headlines. This time, it was on the front page of the news."Former Lovers Turned Enemies: Argument Ends in Accidental Death."Lennox had gone from a rising star in the business world to a man behind bars.After several court hearings, the court took into account that Winona had provoked him first and ultimately sentenced Lennox to life in prison.When Whitney returned to collect the final divorce decree, she ran into Matthew.He handed

Lennox received the call from the hospital late that night. By the time he arrived, Christopher had already passed away.He stood dazed in the hospital corridor, watching as the doctor pulled a white sheet over Christopher's head.The doctor told him that in his final moments, Christopher had kept calling out one name."Whitney."As the hospital bed rolled past him, Lennox suddenly dropped to his knees and grabbed Christopher's cold, withered hand."Dad... Dad, I'm sorry."He fell to his knees and sobbed uncontrollably, his whole body convulsing.The funeral was scheduled for the following morning, and a light rain had been falling since early morning.Dressed in black, Lennox busied himself around the funeral hall. He seemed to have aged years overnight.He bowed in thanks to each person who came to pay their respects, mechanically accepting the flowers they handed him.Winona showed up at the funeral in heavy, garish makeup.She hadn't come to pay her respects. She'd come for revenge

Whitney applied for a caregiver position at the nursing home. She'd taught herself nursing because of Victoria's illness and even earned a nursing certificate.Working as a caregiver would allow her to stay by Victoria's side while earning some money.The work was exhausting, but it gave her peace of mind.Watching Whitney provide care so skillfully, Quentin felt both admiration and a pang of sadness.She was tall and slender, yet she could turn a patient over all by herself.She must have been through so much.Every now and then, Quentin brought her little gifts.Sometimes it was a handful of wildflowers blooming by the roadside. Sometimes it was a cup of bubble tea loaded with tapioca pearls. Other times, it was a nursing textbook.Whitney never turned him down.For one thing, his gifts were never particularly expensive. For another, they were things she genuinely needed.So she would thank him sincerely and accept them without hesitation.Quentin leaned against the hospital room doo

Lennox hung up before Winona could say another word, then blocked her number.At last, some peace and quiet.The operating room doors opened and closed repeatedly as doctors and nurses hurried in and out, their expressions grave.Lennox suddenly thought of Whitney.When Victoria had to be rushed in for emergency treatment after Winona triggered an episode, Whitney must have felt just as helpless as he did now.Suddenly, a saying flashed through his mind: "Those who do evil will eventually reap what they sow."Matthew came rushing in with some unbelievable news."Mr. Graham, we've been unable to find any identifying information about the little girl who's always with Mrs. Graham. We can't find out where she came from or even what her name is. It's as if—"He paused, searching for the right words."She appeared out of nowhere and vanished just as suddenly."A bold thought crossed Lennox's mind. Maybe Whitney hadn't been lying after all. Maybe Nola really had come from the future.How els

The news about Winona came before any word of Whitney's whereabouts.When she divorced her arranged-marriage partner, he hadn't said a single bad word about Winona or the Sterling family.But Winona just had to push her luck.First, she insinuated that Ethan had abused her. Then she tried to pass off the baby she was carrying as someone else's.Her actions finally infuriated the Walker family, who had initially hoped to end the marriage amicably.They released a public statement revealing the reason for the divorce and demanding an apology from Winona.The reason for the divorce was actually simple. Winona had cheated on her husband multiple times during their marriage.As for the alleged domestic abuse, it amounted to Ethan shoving her once in a fit of rage after catching her in bed with another man.The statement was followed by evidence of Winona's infidelity: explicit chat logs, compromising photos of her with other men, and even a handwritten promise from Winona herself that she w

After half a month in the mountains, Whitney was feeling better both physically and mentally, though she still occasionally had nightmares.In them, she saw Lennox, Winona, and Nola.Whitney rode with Quentin to a nearby town and bought a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.She'd come to enjoy being offline, but there were still some things she needed to know.Like how her divorce from Lennox was progressing.The moment her phone reconnected to the internet, it began vibrating nonstop.Whitney quickly silenced her phone and glanced awkwardly at Quentin, who was driving.Seeing that he was focused on the road, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.Being afraid of teachers at school and doctors when you were sick was probably pretty common.She opened her missed calls. Dozens of them were from Lennox.There were also hundreds of unread messages, each one a full minute long.She picked a few and converted them to text."Whitney, I don't care where you are. Contact me immediately!"Winnie, I know the b
