“I wasn’t good enough. I failed to protect you, and I couldn’t protect your parents either…” Eric sat across from Kelly, his voice strained and quiet.
He paused for a moment, then pulled out a bank card. “This is the money I owe you from all these years, as well as the items my mom took from the house, I’ve already organized everything and will send it to you by
courier.”
When Kelly didn’t respond, Eric spoke again. “Kelly, I’m sorry. Back then, I wanted to keep that heritage house too, but Beau …”
Eric tried to explain, but he felt it would be pointless at this point.
“Kelly, I’ve asked around. The person who owns that heritage house said a mysterious buyer from Seaville bought it, and they insisted on keeping it secret, so I’m really sorry,” Eric spoke with a sense of helplessness.
Even though he had tried to buy Kelly’s house, he couldn’t figure out who the new owner was.
“The house is mine again now.” Kelly met his gaze. “Zev bought it and gave it to me as a gift.”
Eric froze for a moment, staring at Kelly.
He probably understood now why Kelly loved Zev so much.
“Kelly … I truly loved you,” Eric said softly.
When he loved, he loved deeply.
He wanted to explain that during the time he loved Kelly, their love had been pure.
But later, it had changed.
“I’ve loved you too,” Kelly admitted.
“But during those five years in Solmaris, the person I truly loved was only the version of you I had imagined,” she said honestly.
For five years, she endured everything by believing in the Eric she thought she knew.
Eric kept apologizing. “I never expected what happened to your parents. The life insurance they bought before they passed away, they did it on their own. I don’t know why they suddenly got so much high–value insurance. I never meant to hurt them.”
Kelly’s fingers slowly curled into a fist, her palms beginning to ache.
“I know now why they bought all that insurance, because they couldn’t find me. They lost hope, feared they couldn’t hang on much longer, worried you might change your heart in the future, and when I finally came back, there’d be nothing left. The money from the insurance was their way of securing my future with their lives,” Kelly said, her voice trembling.
Her parents had given everything to search for her, to love her.
Until the end, they had believed that their daughter would come back to Seaville.
And she did.

“Eric, in matters of love, neither of us is at fault, Kelly said, pushing the bank card back. “I was gone for five years, not by your side. It’s understandable if you fall in love with someone else
“Take the money, and think of it as Faye’s education fund Kelly checked the time and smiled at Eric. “My husband will be here to pick me up soon.”
“Kelly, I’m thankful for everything you did for Faye.” Eric knew that when Kelly was in the most dangerous situation at the Lynch Residence, she put aside their past to protect his two kids.
If Kelly hadn’t taken them away, Patrick would have used them to threaten either Eric or Beau.
With the children safe at Gary’s place, Patrick had no leverage over them, so he chose a different path.
In this life, both Eric and Regina were indebted to Kelly.
Eric spoke gently, “I’m getting a divorce. Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean anything else. I just want to say that I’m getting a divorce and put the past behind me. I’ve already resigned from Seaville Hospital and I plan to take the children back to my hometown.”
Kelly gazed at Eric, not wanting to intrude on his personal matters.
However, a change of scenery could be beneficial for both him and the children. “Your mom is far too biased toward boys. If you’re going back home, be sure to look after Faye.”
“I won’t allow my mother to affect my life again. I’ll take full responsibility for the children. I’ve already paid her retirement lump sum, and I’ve also given some money to my sister and her husband. From now on. they’ll be the ones to care for my mom.”
Kelly gave a slight nod. Since Eric had everything planned out, she wouldn’t get involved.
After all, they no longer had any ties.
Turning to leave, Kelly paused as Eric nervously called out her name once more.
“Kelly …”
She stopped and glanced back at him.
Eric looked at Kelly and smiled, as if they were back to the time they first met.
The sun shone brightly, and Eric had fallen for Kelly at first sight.
Sadly, love fades, love burns out–like anything that can be consumed.
Eventually, their love had slowly faded away.
“Goodbye.”
From this point forward, it might be difficult for them to cross paths again.
Kelly exited the coffee shop, noticed Zev waiting for her on the sidewalk, and smiled.
Her life had been full of both hardships and moments of beauty.
Meeting Zev was the greatest mercy from God after life had been so cruel to her.

Zev, we…
Just as Kelly was about to approach Zev, someone holding a fruit knife lunged toward her
Kelly swiftly avoided the attacker, her brow furrowing in response.
Zev rushed to her side in alarm, quickly subduing and pinning the attacker to the ground.
“Kelly! I’m going to kill you! You ruined my life, you destroyed my family!”
Once the situation settled, Kelly finally recognized the disheveled person shouting in fury. It was Regina.
Regina had changed drastically. The once proud and arrogant woman, always immaculate in appearance, was now a complete mess, looking almost unrecognizable.
“It’s all your fault! It’s you!” Regina sobbed, sitting on the ground.
She hated Kelly, and she also envied her.
Why did Kelly manage to make Eric fall so deeply for her? Why did Kelly survive her time in Solmaris instead of dying? How did Kelly cross paths with a good man like Zev?
Why did she end up with nothing left? Her father faced execution, Clarissa faced a ten–year prison sentence, and Eric asked for a divorce…
Why?!
“Regina, you’re the luckiest person in the entire Lynches. I didn’t provoke you, yet you still don’t understand how to act,” Kelly said, glaring at Regina, pitying her at the same time.
“What are you doing, Regina?” Eric shouted as he ran out, looking at her with a mix of shock and anger. “Are you really trying to ruin yourself?”
Kelly found Regina pitiful. “Beau treats Clarissa as nothing more than a tool, a pawn to be used and discarded when it’s convenient, but you’re spared because you’re her sister. You’re incredibly lucky. Clarissa carries all the burdens for you, and despite all the harm done by your family, none of it affects you! After everything, Eric worked tirelessly to clean up the mess for your family just to protect you from blame! You’ve got everything, but you’ve chosen to stay rotten and cruel! Truly, genes are a frightening thing. People like you will never repent, not even in death.”
Conscience is truly something you’re born with, either you have it from birth or you don’t.
No one develops a sense of right and wrong suddenly.
Regina was pure evil. No matter what happened, she would never look for the cause within herself. She would always blame others, never once considering that the fault might lie with her.
Sitting on the ground, Regina cried loudly, staring at Eric. “I don’t have a father, no sister, and now you don’t want me. It’s all her fault …”
Eric’s eyes reddened, his fists clenched in fury. “If she hadn’t let you off the hook, do you really think you would’ve gotten away clean? If it weren’t for Faye, you’d be behind bars too! Regina, you’re not just evil, you’re stupid! Our whole family owes her, yet all you do is think of yourself … ”
Eric shut his eyes, overwhelmed by helplessness. He pulled out his phone and dialed the emergency
number.

Regina, you chose this path
Eric… Eric, what are you planning to do? Are you calling the police to have me arrested? Lrid You entd this to me, I can’t go to jail, I’ll die in there, Eric…” Regina snapped, lunging at Eric and clutching his leg.– sobbing and pleading with him not to involve the police.
Kelly let out a deep sigh and took Zev’s hand. “Darling, let’s go home.”
