Margot turned back to look at Curtis with every few steps she took. Pain gripped her chest as she saw Curtis on his knees, tears welling up in his eyes, and blood flowing from the wound on his leg.Four years had passed, yet seeing him wounded still shattered her heart. She wanted to help him, hold him in her arms, and let him know Lilac was his daughter. But she would never forget what he had done four years ago.She would never forget he had tricked her to the island and forced himself on her the day they met after four years.He loved her deeply but still hurt her feelings each time they crossed paths.She did not want to forgive him.Retracting her gaze, Margot made up her mind and boarded the ship with Anthony.Curtis' leg had been poisoned, and the pain was unbearable.He wanted to get up to stop Margot, but he could not.Lying on the ground, he watched helplessly as Anthony took Margot with him.Curtis cried at the top of his lungs, "Margot, come back! Don't leave! Ma

Natalie sat up and switched on the lights in the room. As she observed the emotional scene between the mother and daughter, a twinge of discomfort crept over her. Approaching with tissues in hand, she offered solace to the tearful pair."Are you alright, Margot? Did Curtis hurt you?"When Margot heard what Natalie said, the former finally let go of Lilac and raised her head to meet Natalie's gaze.Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she felt too distraught to speak.Natalie glanced at the marks on her neck and could guess what Margot had to endure during the days of her disappearance. Tenderly reaching out, she enveloped Margot in a comforting embrace, assuring her, "It's alright now. Everything will be okay now that you're back.""Natalie, I simply don't get it. He's the one who cheated on me while we were married. He got someone else pregnant and even provided that woman financial support to have that illegitimate child. We're already divorced, so why can't he just let go of

Learning about the need to go to the Morris residence left Margot astonished. Feeling somewhat guilty, she lowered her head to hide her reluctance. "I think I should go to the hospital then."Anthony hummed in acknowledgment. Despite feeling somewhat disappointed, he kept his emotions to himself. After lunch, he took her to the hospital.After the doctor assured Margot that there were no major issues, they prescribed some topical medications and advised her to get some rest.As they left the hospital and settled into Anthony's car, he looked at her and asked, "Is everything alright?"Margot nodded and said, "I've already said that I'm fine, but you still insisted on me getting a check-up.""Well, that's good to hear. Are you prepared to go back to my place and meet my parents?"Anthony started the car and drove away.Margot turned to him and asked, "Didn't you say that if I came to the hospital, I wouldn't have to go to your house?""What I meant was, should we go to the hospit

Margot was perplexed by Frederick's words. Just as she was about to speak, Anthony beat her to it. "Dad, I—""Did I allow you to speak?"Frederick's face was stern as he glared. His frightening gaze got Anthony to clamp his mouth shut.When he turned his attention back to Margot, he explained, "I'll make this simpler for you. You can stay for a while. We'll evaluate your performance."In other words, they would kick her out if she performed poorly.How could Margot have known that no matter how she performed, there was no way the family would accept her?All they wanted was Lilac. The purpose behind her temporary stay was to make it easier for Lilac to assimilate into the family. That way, Lilac would no longer need her in the future.Margot wanted to protest, but Anthony whispered in her ear before she could do so. "Take the deal, Margot. Don't worry. I'll handle the rest."Hearing that, Margot kept her thoughts to herself and replied, "Okay."Everyone else was still sizing M

Curtis found himself grappling with the same question—did it truly bother him that Margot had a child with another man?Curtis acknowledged that indeed, the fact that Margot had a child with someone else did bother him.Yet, dwelling on it seemed futile. What mattered most was winning her back, regardless of past circumstances."You should take some time to think about it. If you truly can't imagine life without her, wait until your leg has healed and then have a proper conversation with her. Remember to use conventional methods to win her over."If the fact that she has a child with someone else bothers you, then perhaps it's best not to interfere further in her life. Margot is a living human being, not your possession."When Natalie thought about how she had finally made a trip back to Amberville, she decided to go home and visit her parents.She had said everything she needed to say. It was up to Curtis to determine his course of action.Before Natalie walked away, she added,
