Chapter 19

Archer died from excessive blood loss.

Iris was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide.

Six months later—

Joy and I stood at the entrance of an orphanage, watching the heartwarming adoption ceremony inside.

Melody was being adopted by a kind-looking couple.

The little boy looked up at the man, timidly asking:

"Can you hug me?"

The man laughed heartily, lifting him up entirely.

"From now on, Daddy will hug you every day!"

Melody's little face turned rosy as he giggled.

A three-year-old child is young after all, and quickly accepted his new parents.

It was a tragedy, but also a blessing.

Joy and I sighed in unison.

On the way back, Joy furrowed her brow and suddenly said:

"What if Jade seeks revenge on you in the future?"

I chuckled, "You've been watching too many TV dramas."

Joy persisted.

"But what if? I'm just saying, what if?"

I looked straight ahead and smiled.
