Listen Audiobook Version:



Keira wasn't sure if Eagle's words could be trusted, but she didn't have much time left. Everyone in the South family was shrouded in mystery, and even if she wanted to drag them out into the open, it wouldn't be easy.

So for now, she had no choice but to believe.

The next day, Keira began making arrangements.

This time, it was different.

Last time, there had been a set return date. But now, there wasn't one.

She knew there were only two possible outcomes—either she made it out, or she didn't.

Keira had lunch with Uncle Olsen without saying much. But as she was about to leave, he suddenly looked at her. "You're going to save her, aren't you?"

Keira hesitated for a brief moment.

Uncle Olsen continued, "Keira, can I come with you?"

She shook her head. "No."

Uncle Olsen knew nothing about the South family. Besides, too many people going in would only draw attention. More importantly… he was decisive but impulsive. If he saw Jodie South, he might throw caution to the wind and charge in, which would ruin everything.

Keira looked at him. "Dad, if I don't make it back, and Mom doesn't either, at least someone will still remember us in this world."

Uncle Olsen's eyes reddened. He stared at her for a long moment before giving her a firm pat on the shoulder. "Come back alive."

Something in Keira's heart clenched at those words.

She met his gaze, clenched her fists, and nodded. "I will."

Then she turned and strode out.

Uncle Olsen watched her go, his voice thick with emotion. "Keira, I'll be waiting for you both at home. At least… you have to come back."

If Jodie South didn't make it, he wouldn't mind following her.

But their daughter—she had to survive.

Keira didn't dare look back. Her throat felt tight, her eyes stung. Without turning around, she waved a hand over her shoulder and stepped into the waiting car.

Lewis was already there. He noticed her red-rimmed eyes and said, "It's okay. We'll come back."

Keira didn't dare look back. Her throat felt tight, her eyes stung. Without turning around, she waved a hand over her shoulder and stepped into the waiting car.

Lewis was already there. He noticed her red-rimmed eyes and said, "It's okay. We'll come back."

Keira nodded. "I know."

She didn't say goodbye to anyone else. She didn't want them to worry. She left a message at home saying she was on a business trip—anyone who came looking would hear the same story.

She hadn't expected to find Mary and Ellis waiting for her when she got back.

Mary's belly was already quite big—she was nearly seven months along, just a few more months until the baby arrived.

Keira was pleasantly surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Mary walked over and took her hand. "The baby said they missed their godmother, so we came to see you."

Keira smiled, placing a hand gently on her belly. After a moment's thought, she pulled out a card and handed it to Mary. "A gift for the baby."

After all, Mary and Keera had once been the best of friends.

Mary hesitated briefly but didn't refuse. Instead, she smiled. "Then I'll accept it on behalf of the baby. But the baby also said… they want to see you at the full-month celebration."

Keira froze for a second.

Ellis chuckled. "You may not say anything, but I know what you're up to. I'm your brother, after all. Whatever it is, I just hope it all goes smoothly."

Mary studied her carefully. "Are you doing this for her?"

Mary had already pieced things together.

Keira knew that Mary and Keera had been close. Even though she had taken over, Mary must have sensed something. She had simply never brought it up before.

This was the first time she had spoken so directly about it.

Keera had always wanted one thing—to live. To truly live.

So Keira had to survive, and she had to bring her mother back with her.

Mary smiled. "Alright, Keira. I'll be here praying for you."

Keira smiled back. "Thank you."

Mary stood up. "We should get going."

After they left, Keira sank onto the couch and looked at Lewis. She was about to speak when a commotion erupted outside.

"Hey! I was here first!"

"No way, I got here first!"

Keira looked up and saw Rebecca pushing through the door ahead of the others.
