Hearing this, Yvette's eyes turned red. "Mom, don't say that. Xavier won't abandon me. He will definitely save

me." Even if Xavier didn't, Selena wouldn't forsake her. She touched her belly, thinking at least she had to try for

the sake of her unborn child. All the peace of the evening was shattered when Selena had just brought over

ssoup. Yvette had barely taken a couple of sips when the police cto take her away. "What are you

doing!" Selena yelled, clutching Yvette's arm. Yvette couldn't believe this was happening; she was taken to the

police car. Furious, Selena was at the hospital entrance making calls to Xavier and then to Matthew.

At Aurelith University, Yasmine had just packed up her things to leave work, when unexpectedly she ran into

Yonas at the door. She was about to dodge him when she heard Lucy's voice. Yasmine! Don't go. Cwith us to

the Luminara Festival!" Yasmine suddenly remembered the heated discussions on the school forum starting that

afternoon. The festival was to be held in an old town street in Soucrity. Yet, she glanced at Yonas a few more

times.

Without waiting for her response, Lucy pulled her into the car. "Yasmine, cwith me! There'll be so many

beautiful flower lanterns."

Yasmine couldn't refuse Lucy, so she sat in the back seat with her, while Chuck drove and Yonas sat in the Chuck

Before long, they reached the ancient town's streets, which were already bustling with people, many dressed in

traditional costumes. The entire street was decorated with colorful lights for the Luminara Festival. Lucy and

Chuck, perhaps on purpose, held hands and tried to lose Yasmine and Yonas amidst the crowd. Soon, the four of

them were swept apart by the throng.

Lucy glanced around anxiously, calling out, "Yasmine..." But her voice was swallowed by the sheer number of

people in the street, and no one answered.

Just as she wanted to call Yasmine again, Chuck stopped her, "Don't call her."

"Why?" Lucy was puzzled.

Chuck gently ruffled her hair and said with a grin, "Let's give them salone time, okay? Why else do you

think Yonas was so eager to cto the Luminara Festival today? And don't forget, you're here to hang out with

me. I've got a place to take you." With that, he grabbed Lucy's hand and led her away.

In the crowd, Yasmine stood alone, looking around desperately. She didn't see Lucy or Chuck anywhere. Lowering

her eyes, she noticed she was surrounded by couples walking hand in hand, making her feel even more isolated.

As soon as she turned around, a large hand grabbed her wrist. Instinctively, she looked over and saw Yonas.

"Wh-what are you doing?" She turned her head with a bit of discomfort, trying to withdraw her hand from his

warm grip, but it felt like a solid shackle tightly clasping her wrist.

Yonas held her tightly in his arms, shielding her from the bustling crowd and vendors who could accidentally

bump into her at any moment. "Yasmine, this is for you," Yonas suddenly placed a flower lantern in her palm, its

lotus shape glowing with a pink light. Yasmine's heart raced; he must have gone to buy the flower lantern earlier.

Why did he buy it for her?

her

Her cheeks flushed red, and with so many people around, she couldn't just walk away. She let him lead her

absentmindedly, gaze fixed on the flower lantern in her right hand. She noticed the words written on the petals,

wishing Yasmine eternal peace.

She looked up at Yonas, who was sitting in front and holding her hand. After all this time, they held hands again.

She couldn't tell if there was more bitterness in her heart, and by nature, Yasmine would have shaken off his

hand without hesitation, but this time, inexplicably, she remained silent. For the first time, she wanted to follow

her true feelings and indulge herself a bit. She undeniably liked Yonas and hoped he would cto her, holding

her hand like this. His tall figure kept shifting left and right, shielding her from passersby, protecting her.

Finally, they reached the riverside, where most people would eventually end up with their loved ones to release

the flower lanterns. Yasmine found herself pushed to the riverbank, feeling a bit at a loss, with Yonas closely

guarding her. She noticed that pairs were holding lanterns with two names and good wishes written on them,

whereas her own lantern only bore her

name.

"Wait fora moment!" Yasmine suddenly said, turning away from the river.

Yonas watched her in confusion, immediately trying to follow, but Yasmine stopped him, "You wait here. It's so

crowded, and we barely found a spot by the edge."

"Alright." Yonas watched as she walked away, glancing down at the flower lantern she'd tucked into his arms.

The lights flickered along the riverbank, willow branches drooped down, and amidst the lively crowd and smoky

air, couples beside them released their flower lanterns into the river, holding each other close. "Here. A gentle

voice spoke from behind, and as Yonas turned, there was Yasmine standing right behind him, "Take it."

Yonas reached out to take what she was offering-a flower lantern with his nwritten on it. Warmth spread

through his heart as he stood beside Yasmine at the riverbank. Together, they set both lanterns onto the water,

watching them float away side by side. On Yasmine's flower lantern was written, "May Yasmine be forever safe."

On Yonas's flower lantern, it read, "May Yonas be forever happy." The two flower lanterns floated side by side,

drifting further into the distance, as if they were always meant to be one. Across the river, Chuck and Lucy

together placed a flower lantern into the water. As Lucy watched it drift away, she couldn't help but clasp her

hands together to make another wish.

Once the flower lantern disappeared from sight, Yasmine stood up again. Yonas pointed towards the pavilion and

said, "We'll be able to see the fireworks from there later." Yasmine was surprised he remembered such a thing.

As they walked into the pavilion, the sky had turned completely dark. The vibrant scenery along the river

illuminated the time, reflecting off the water, and adding scolor to what was once a monotonous silver

ripple. As they stood in the pavilion, when the clock struck nine, fireworks exploded in the sky with a loud bang,

each one like a clap of thunder expanding across the horizon.

Yasmine covered her ears, excited. She suddenly recalled the night on the hillside when fireworks were set off for

her by Yonas. She glanced sideways at Yonas, who was intently watching the fireworks, oblivious to her thoughts.

Clearly, Yasmine also had worries on her mind.

Yvette was sent to prison, and once more, Selena found Helen. Inside the mental hospital, Helen looked at

Selena with a blank expression, still deeply hurt inside.
