She knew that Yoseph had done a lot of things for her. "Sorry, did I make you unhappy?" Emma said guiltily. "No, I am happy to do anything for you." Even if he wanted to bring her to Archie now, he would still pretend to be happy. It was too much of a breakdown. The sports car finally stopped at the entrance of Wolfleim Family.

Jose, who was resting in bed, suddenly sat upright in fear. He immediately roared, “You’re not allowed to defy him, or else I’m taking your damned life!” Then, he got up and transferred himself to a wheelchair to meet Jairo. Kayson’s glass shards had cut his legs, and his tendons had yet to reconnect. Jose hastily said, “Sir, this is bad. Kayson is at the Roselle Lodge!” Jairo was startled. “What’s going on? Why is he at the Roselle Lodge? Didn’t Beyond Construction give us permission to demolish it?”

Just beyond, two guards in patched plastisteel watched the line, boots sunk in mud. Jensen was easy to spot—wiry, hollowed by hunger but still hinting at old muscle, a telltale shock of blond twisting from his hood. He didn’t wave, just jerked his chin toward the queue, then turned and walked through, trusting Xander to follow.

Tito Fernan's wife had a trauma, I hope she recovers soon and can return to her old life. Not long after, Joseph and I also said our goodbyes, and we went to Tito Joel who was currently confined in the other room.

I reluctantly pulled away and he reached for his bag, next to the signed discharge papers. "Thank you,” Josef said. We’d come a long way since the first day I got here but I was glad to have grown closer to Josef. There wasn’t a chance in the world that we would get together since he was leaving for Milan soon anyway, but it felt good to have a friend for once. Someone who wasn’t my narcissistic mother or my sister. It felt good to have someone. Maybe this was what Hazel felt with Nicholas. I was jealous of her. I had always been.

"I spent the last year working with refugees in Eastern Europe," he continued when I didn't respond. "I saw real suffering, real loss. People who had lost everything but still found ways to be kind to strangers. And all I could think about was how I had everything, money, privilege, opportunities and I used it all to hurt someone who had done nothing but love me."
