Romina had prepared for everything, but Savannah was the one thing she hadn’t anticipated.
Although Romina didn’t know exactly what Savannah said to the child, from the shape of her lips, Romina saw that word.
Death.
After Savannah fell silent, the child in front of Romina began to wail uncontrollably.
“I don’t want Mommy to die, I don’t want Mommy to die…”
“Mommy, you can’t die! You haven’t come out yet, how can you die?”
“You still have to watch Lina grow up. I don’t want you to die!”
Lina was in a terrible state, crying so hard it was heartbreaking, making it impossible for Romina to say much to Savannah.
Taking advantage of the moment when the officer led the child out, Romina finally picked up
the receiver.
Her expression darkened for a moment. “I actually didn’t plan to tell Lina about this. I just wanted to bring her to visit you as usual. I really didn’t expect you to tell her yourself…”
Romina’s voice was thick with emotion.
“Romi, she would have found out sooner or later. Rather than letting her hear it from you or someone else, it’s better that I tell her myself. That way, she can accept the truth more quickly and grow up faster.”
“She’s still just a child,” Romina said, tears streaming down her face. “And with me protecting her, she doesn’t need to grow up so fast.”
“I’m so grateful that you’re willing to take care of Lina for me. After I’m gone, I’ll leave her in your care. I can never repay you for this kindness in this life. In the next, I’ll gladly work
myself to the bone for you…”
“Don’t say that.”

Romina was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Through the glass, she saw Savannah’s haggard face, and waves of pain surged in her heart.
During her time in prison, if Savannah hadn’t helped her, she probably would have died long
ago.
“You gave me my life, and my future as well,” Romina said solemnly. “I will never let you down. I will treat Lina as my own, do everything I can to give her a beautiful future, watch her grow up, get married, have children, and fulfill your wishes in this life.”
“Thank you,
Romi.”
“I’m the one who should thank you,” Romina continued, her voice choked with sobs. “Thank you for giving me a second chance at life.”
“Then live well for me. Do everything you want to do, live a brilliant life, and don’t let yourself be trapped by men anymore.”
Romina nodded gently. “Okay.”
At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door: “Lina? What are you doing
here?”
Romina’s back suddenly stiffened for a moment.
Joaquin had arrived…
Visiting hours were over. Romina was forced to get up. She took one last look at Savannah before leaving quickly.
Before stepping out the door, she instinctively reached up to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
After Romina walked out, she saw there was one more person outside the door.
Lina was sitting by a chair, sobbing, while Joaquin knelt on one knee, wiping the child’s
tears.
Standing next to the man was a stranger.
It was a woman.
She had waist–length curly hair, and even a long black dress couldn’t hide her graceful figure.

Thin lips, large eyes, a high nose bridge…
With her delicate makeup, she looked like a beautiful porcelain doll.
This woman looked just like a princess from a spinning music box.
Her beauty was fresh and ethereal.
Romina’s gaze dropped and she noticed a diamond ring on the woman’s ring finger.
This was the first time since Joaquin had returned to the country that she had seen him appear with a woman.
And she was a married woman…..
Could this be the one he loves?
The one he loves but cannot have?
When Joaquin saw Romina, he quickly stood up from the chair.
Their eyes met, but neither said a word.
“Joaquin, is she someone you know?”
The woman walked over to Joaquin, affectionately tugged at his arm, and looked at Romina with a hint of wariness in her eyes.
“Lina’s adoptive mother, Romina.”
“Savannah’s best friend, Sabrina
After Joaquin’s brief introduction, Romina took the initiative to reach out her hand “Hello, nice to meet you.”
Sabrina hesitated for a moment, but eventually extended her hand. “Ms. Sandoval, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before…?”
Romina replied calmly, “I’m Jericho’s wife, but we’re about to get divorced.”
“Jericho is Joaquin’s nephew. Four years ago, I attended a banquet in Straland. We must have
met there.”
Romina curled her thin lips. “I don’t have a very good memory. Please forgive me.”

Sabrina smiled brightly on the surface, but the hand holding Romina’s suddenly tightened its grip.
“It’s all right.”
