All those years Lily lived with the Ginger family... she had never once tried to fight Mathilda for their love.

She constantly reminded them that Mathilda was still out there—that they needed to keep looking for her.

She never damaged anything in Mathilda’s room on purpose. Never tried to take her clothes, her jewelry, or her

toys.

Lily was just Lily. And Mathilda was only Mathilda.

This idea that Lily had “stolen” Mathilda’s parents, her brothers-it was just something they had projected. onto

her.

Because ever since Mathilda returned, their hearts had never once leaned toward Lily again.

They only ever protected Mathilda. And every tMathilda claimed to be hurt by Lily, they led the charge in

punishing her-bullying her, humiliating her, hurting her over and over again.

But if all those incidents... had been lies spun by Mathilda-then what did that make everything they did to Lily?

Deep in his gut, Taylor had a terrifying certainty: they had believed the wrong person. They had trusted

Mathilda’s lies... and lost Lily because of them.

“Lily...”

Two silent tears slipped down his face.

In that moment, he missed her more than ever.

He wanted to hear her call him “Taylor” one more time.

He wanted to tell her himself... that he had been wrong.

He was so full of regret.

But now, he couldn’t even move. He couldn't even apologize.

His head grew heavier, vision dimmer. He thought for sure he was going to die.

But nearby, a construction site had just let out. A few migrant workers were heading hwhen they spotted his

car.

“Was that a crash up ahead?”

“There's someone in the car!”

“Quick! Let's go pull him out!”

It was a matter of life and death. The workers didn’t hesitate for a second. They rushed forward and quickly lifted

Taylor from the car.

Noticing sparks beginning to crackle from the battery, they didn’t stop until they’d carried him a safe distance

away. Then they called for an ambulance.

The moment they got him far enough... the car exploded in a fireball.

The searing heat stung Taylor's eyes-and pierced his heart.

And for the first tin years, the man who rarely cried couldn't stop the tears from blurring his vision.

What a cruel joke.

Even complete strangers-just migrant workers passing by-had enough heart to risk helping him.

But his beloved little sister couldn't even make one phone call to save his life.

He closed his eyes, hollow inside.

But still... he was deeply, deeply grateful to be alive.

Because only by living could he uncover the truth-about everything they'd once accused Lily of

Only by living... could he finally tell his foster sister. I'm sorry. | was wrong...

Lily had no idea Taylor had been in a car accident.

And even if she did, she wouldn't have cared.

The doctor said she could be discharged in three to five days.

But Grace, Nancy, and the other elders insisted she stay longer. They kept her in the hospital for a full week

before finally letting James handle the discharge papers.

Even then, the elders insisted James take good care of her.

She knew what they were doing-they wanted her and James to develop feelings for each other.

But she wasn’t a man. No feelings were going to develop.

Still, she couldn’t bear to let Henry worry himself into a heart attack, so in the end, she agreed to temporarily

stay at James's villa.

A lot had happened in the past week.

Randy and the others had all been sentenced.

Randy got fifteen years for human trafficking.

Dave and the four traffickers received the death penalty.

Dave's son and nephew-brought back to the country by James’s men-were sentenced to three years in prison.
