Chapter 10

"You walk away. I don't want to see you again."

Damien clearly hadn't expected this outcome, his expression dazed.

He thought that just by returning the child to me, he could be forgiven.

The female director stood in front of me, angrily pointing at him:

"Get out! We haven't even sued you for planning the accident and deliberately causing harm! How dare you show up here yourself! Melody doesn't need you anymore, get lost!"

These words stung Damien. He put down the bottle, trying to approach me.

But he stopped in his tracks when he saw me instinctively back away.

In the past, I would have unhesitatingly nestled close whenever he reached out.

Damien's eyes were filled with remorse:

"I'm sorry, Melody. I was deceived by Vivienne! I didn't know she could be so vicious..."

"Melody, please let me make it up to you. I swear I'll love you more than ever before, and never hurt you again."

I finally took a step forward.

The female director looked at me in shock, but said nothing.
