Chapter 10

Zoran was ultimately sentenced to fifteen years.

That was the choice he made for himself, and the price he paid for me.

The moment the verdict came down, I stood outside the courtroom, my mind blank.

Fifteen years, he would spend those long days in prison.

He told me he had thought about suicide.

But he worried that after he was gone, there would be no one to take care of me and our daughter.

He said he had to live longer than me.

After I recovered from my injuries, I returned to the lab to continue our joint research work.

When I touched those reagents again, I felt dizzy and almost burst into tears.

I thought... I would never be able to come back here.

With the help of medical experts from various fields, I continued to refine my research. To make our technology available at a lower cost, I also made breakthroughs, becoming a leading figure in the medical field.

Our daughter Lily was also growing up, her eyes and brows looked just like Zoran's.
