Novel & Cerita Losing Hope Summary

The weight of the situation pressed upon me, threatening to shatter the fragile remnants of hope still clinging to my soul.

Before his death, he asked Carter to tell me, "I'm sorry, Lani. I failed to see people clearly in this life. I mistook a worthless rock for a precious stone and lost the real gem… "My life ends here.
