Mackenzie’s voice was steady and reassuring as she continued speaking.

Emmanuel, his face etched with concern, quickly asked, “Where are my sister

and Julian right now?”

“After the Quillen family tragedy, Ashton took them away from Nuthana to

Eldoria in Zovince, to lay low for a while. But we’ve had no contact with them

since,” she sighed softly, a mix of relief and lingering worry. “As for Tia, she’s

safe with my mother. It’s a blessing to know they’re both alive and well.”

Emmanuel nodded, feeling a momentary lightness in his chest. It wasn’t

much, but it was something to hold onto in these dark times.

As they talked, Mackenzie finished styling Emmanuel’s hair. She had given

him a sharp, side–parted cut that was clean and precise. The new look

accentuated his striking features, making him look more mature and

formidable.

“Well, what do you think?” she asked, a genuine smile playing on her lips.

With a heavy sigh, Mackenzie stepped aside for Emmanuel to speak. His

voice was low and filled with regret as he spoke, “Sarah sacrificed herself to

save us on the Dark Night Islands. We brought her body back so you can see

her one last time before we lay her to rest alongside my mother.”

Alessandra’s body had already been taken back to Hero’s Village by Shane

and Frederick. Emmanuel planned to deal with urgent matters, find his sister

and then return together to pay respects to his mother.

The news hit Felicity like a physical blow. She tried to hold back her sobs, but

they came unbidden, shaking her entire body.

Before anyone could offer comfort, the door burst open, revealing a striking

woman with tear–stained cheeks. It was Laura, with a shy young woman

trailing behind her–Elizabeth, who met Emmanuel’s eyes with a shy gaze.

“What about Claudette?” Laura demanded, her voice raw with emotion. “What

happened to my Claudette?”

The Quillen family’s tragedy had drawn them close to Felicity, and as soon as

they heard Emmanuel was back, they followed her to Eastern Star Mountain.

Emmanuel hadn’t expected these unexpected guests, but he understood

their concern. Although Laura was originally from the Verkade family, her

marriage to the Lenoir family made her one of them. It wouldn’t be fair to hold

her responsible for William’s actions.

“Claudette is alive,” Emmanuel said quickly, “She hasn’t regained

consciousness yet. Come, I’ll take you to see her,” he offered before they

could even ask, eager to ease their pain as much as he could.

Laura’s reaction was the opposite of Felicity’s, but her tears flowed just as

freely. Although she wasn’t Claudette’s biological mother, their bond was as

deep as any between mother and daughter. The mere fact that her daughter

had survived such dire circumstances was nothing short of a miracle.

As they entered Claudette’s room, Laura rushed to her side, enveloping her in

a tight embrace. “Claudette, my darling, I’ve missed you so much!”

Then, something miraculous happened. Claudette, who had been

glisten with unshed tears.
