"But..."
Dustan attempted to continue explaining, but a sudden interruption stopped the conversation. A panicked figure burst into the hall,
shouting, "Master Ezra, Miss Saule jumped off a building!"
This news nearly made Ezra faint. "What? Saule jumped?"
"Yes, she did. They've rushed her to the hospital."
Ezra's mind reeled with shock and anger. "I'll sue him. He'll rot in jail!"
With those words, he stormed out of the house and raced to the hospital.

But upon his arrival, he was met with devastating news. The hospital had already declared Saule's condition critical.
Ezra watched helplessly as Saule's vital signs faded away. Overwhelmed with grief, he collapsed to the floor.
The turn of events was beyond belief. Pearl couldn't help but ask, "What happened next? How did you escape being buried alive?"
Saule frowned. "I'm not sure. When | woke up, | was abroad. | later learned from the news that my family had cremated my body
and held a funeral."
"Abroad? Why were you there?"
Saule shook her head. "I don't know. It's been many years, and | still haven't found out why. But | couldn't return home. My
reputation was ruined, and someone had violated me. So, | chose to hide my identity and live overseas. That's why | didn't come
forward to reveal | was alive. | preferred to live in solitude abroad."
And then... she becpregnant and gave birth to a daughter. That daughter was Pearl.
Raising a child alone abroad was difficult, so she brought Pearl back to her homeland. She reached out to Beah for help.
Beah, aware of Saule's suffering, felt remorseful and sympathetic. Together with Max, they promised to care for Pearl as their own
daughter. Saule then left and went abroad without any worries.
Hearing this, Pearl felt a surge of empathy for Saule. "Mom... | mean, Aunt... Please don't be sad."
"Pearl, my dear. I've made so many mistakes..." Saule's eyes brimmed with tears as Pearl addressed her as 'Mom."

After twenty-five years of separation and hardship, they were finally reunited. Despite the painful journey, the outcwas
beautiful.
Saule's heart swelled with happiness, but her joy vanished when Pearl mentioned Beah's passing.
"Don't cry. Mom may be gone, but at least she's at peace now. She's reunited with Dad." Pearl tried to console herself and Saule
with this thought.
Saule nodded, wiping away her tears. "Yes, they had a great love. And now they're together again."
Amidst mixed emotions, Pearl's gaze found Richard. Her heart skipped a beat at seeing his grave expression, sparking a chilling
realization.
Could it be possible... that she and Richard were actually cousins?
