Madeline gazed at his rosary beads and persistently reminded him. "Caleb, you're a Christian".

Calch scoffed, "Whoever claimed that Christians don't take lives?"

He stopped laughing and caressed Madeline's head.

"That's enough. It's time to go to bed. Whatever you want to do, you have my support," he said.

Caleb led Madeline back to her room and watched her sleep under the quilt.

Caleb sat by the bed, holding her hand and looking down at her. The orange light illuminated his face.

He seemed rather lonely.

Madeline scratched his palm and yawned, "Caleb, you should also rest."

Tim not sleepy, Caleb sarl

Caleb waited until she had fallen asleep before leaving the room.

As he exited, he gently closed the bedroom door.

When he turned around, his gaze turned ice cold.

He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Come out. Madeline is with m

In the meantime, at The Larson residence.

It was late at night.

A phone call was received from the search and rescue team

The subterranean stream probably carried the victim away, making rescue impossible, We'll resume the search tomorrow, but the chances of survival decrease significantly after 48 hours" The phone call ended.

Henry set down his phone, looking exhausted.

Then, Layla and Winslet went to their rooms first.

Thomas was in a bad mood and didn't bother to go hot

Harley sat on the couch and glanced at Lucas. He said, "Laicas, you're not in a good mood. You should work on adjusting your mindset. It was your fault that you bullied her before, but the deceased won't come luck. Life goes on, and you shouldn't dwell on it " Harley, likewise, owed his life to Madeline.

He got up and said. Tim going to bed first. Tomorrow I have to attend Glorious Group's conference with Dad"

Meanwhile, Joel's face darkened. He left without saying a word.

Lucas waited for them to leave. Then he looked at Harley so

solemnly. He said, "Why can you guys continue living well after Madeline's death?"

"We've mistreated her, but she died for our sake. Do you know how much she has done to please us?"

"I don't know!" Harley frowned. "Are you suggesting that we all die with her?"

He seemed to be in great pain. Tm filled with regret and suffering because she died to save me. However, there's no way now. Do you understand how that feel?"

Lucas shook his head and said, "It's true that you don't understand. To you, she was just a person you hated who sacrificed herself to save you. You feel repulsed, but you don't feel remorse," Lucas stood up with a cold expression

He said. "You'll regret it sooner or later. We don't deserve to be her brothers"

After Lucas finished speaking, he also left the Larson residence that night.

Harley had always been gentle and worked as a college professor.

Many students held him in high regard.

However, he knew clearly that he was a heartless person under that friendly facade.

When Madeline died, he was a little surprised and regretful, but it wasn't much.

Compared to his love for Winslet, his feelings toward Madeline were like that of a stranger.

Madeline was just a stranger he hated

Luras raised his gaze and looked at Winslet with a complex expression

After Winslet returned to her room, she started selecting her clothes.

She chose a light blue sling dress and adored herself with the necklace gifted by Benjamin.

Her makeup was subtle and light, and her dark hair cascaded down her back,

Winslet smiled and twirled in front of the mirror

The young girl was delicate and cute, with a trace of baby fat on her cheeks

She looked harmless and innocent.

This will surely make me stand out among a group of people," she thought.

As she was lost in her thoughts, Lucas stood by the door for quite a while. "Winslet seems to be in a good mood, he thought.

Lucas clenched his fists tightly

Many memories and emotions welled up within him, and he almost voiced his questions

Winslet

Winslet was stunned and turned around to see Lucas with a grim expression.

Winslet felt unease, not knowing how long Lucas had been watching her

"Lucas, what's wrong? When did you get here! You didn't make a sound and almost scared me to death?"

Lucas cast a deep gaze at Winslet.

He walked behind Winslet and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
