“You’re like the president of Liam Corp,” the
employee said ingratiatingly, “I guessed you’d come.”
“It was pulled over and burned. We saw it on the media, she hurt people and did so many wrong things.”
“Since she and the evil seed in her belly were burned, you and the madame will live happily ever after.”
“We were afraid of bad luck, so we just scattered the ashes.”
He was startled by Liam kneeling on the
ground, crying non–stop, “You’re… happy?”
Liam collapsed, wailing, “Grace, I’m sorry… It’s my fault…”
“I was blinded, and I killed you and the child…”
“What should I do? What should I do?”
He kept wailing, and blood dripped from the
corners of his mouth.
“I was wrong! I shouldn’t have promised to save
Chloe in order to repay her. If I hadn’t thought I
was atoning for your sins and forced you to
donate your uterus, you wouldn’t have died…”
“It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault… I thought
that after the surgery, they would forgive you
and you would have a family.”
“But from the beginning to the end, we were wrong. We’re the ones who are sorry for you.”
He held his phone in his hand, frozen at the last moment before my death, looking at my
desperate face on the monitor.
His fingers touched my cheeks, and he was
く
speechless: “Grace, at that time, did you hate
me to death?”
What he didn’t know was that at that moment,
all I thought was that.
If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t want to
meet my biological parents again.
I didn’t want family anymore.
I didn’t want to meet Liam again either.
If the end of the light is hell, then the light itself
is hell.
New Ending
Liam called the police and investigated Chloe,
her biological mother, and Brad.
After Chloe was taken away, she frantically sent
messages to Liam through her secretary,

begging him for help.
In every sentence, she hoped that he would
save her for the sake of the help she had given
him in the past.
She also said that as long as Liam was willing
to drop the charges, she would leave the
country immediately and never come back.
Liam locked himself in the house where he and
Grace had lived together for five years, a place
they’d decorated with love.
He drank constantly, indulging in dreams.
In his dreams, he hadn’t lost Grace.
Until the police found him and said that Brad
had confessed something new.
Liam didn’t care at first.

He knew that Brad liked Chloe and had been
helping her since he was a child.
Ever since he knew that Chloe wasn’t as gentle
and harmless as she seemed on the surface, he
knew that Brad must have done a lot of things
to bully Grace over the years.
He wouldn’t let Brad go.
But the police told him that Brad had
embezzled public funds.
“He has confessed that he took a large sum of
money from your wife, embezzling half of it.”
Liam’s heart began to ache, and he thought of
a possibility.
He asked, his voice dry, “Did he give me the
rest of the money in Chloe’s name?”
The police were stunned: “You know about

The police were stunned: “You know about
this?”
He smiled bitterly and covered his face.
So, even the grace was taken away by Chloe
from Grace.
A month after my death, Liam finally left the
house.
He cleaned himself up to be neat and
handsome, just like when I first met him.
He went to see my biological parents, my
biological parents did not know the news of my
death, just kept crying, saying that they were
sorry for me, and asked Liam to take good care
of me.
“Even if it’s just to see her from a distance, it’s
fine.”

Liam slowly shook his head: “Whether in this
life or the next, she won’t and shouldn’t see us
executioners again.”
Chloe’s mother heard the words and covered
her face and cried.
Liam left the Thompson’s house and went to
the police station to bail Chloe.
Chloe was released, looking pale and haggard.
Seeing Liam, her eyes lit up, and a trace of
smugness flashed in her eyes.
She said, teary–eyed and tenderly: “Liam, you
still have me in your heart.”
Liam just smiled softly: “Come back with me
and apologize to Grace, okay?”
Chloe was stunned for a moment. She heard
from Brad that Grace was dead, so was she
<

apologizing to the tombstone?

She nodded nonchalantly: “Okay, okay, when I
see my sister, I will apologize.”
Chloe followed Liam all the way back to the
mansion.
Chloe’s expression was confused at first, but as
Liam led her towards the bedroom upstairs, the
expression on her face was replaced by
shyness and determination.
“Liam.” She said softly: “She will apologize.”
“Okay.” A trace of cold smile flashed on Liam’s
face, the next second Chloe, who was still
acting like a spoiled brat, gave a scream.
She looked at the knife that was stuck in her
belly, convulsing in pain.
“Chloe, you have to return everything you stole
<
from her so that she can forgive you.”
“Liam, you’re crazy!! She’s dead!!”
She cried and screamed: “I’m sorry, don’t kill
me, I’ve returned everything!!”
“Her uterus is still here with you.”
Liam stabbed her in the abdomen.

Chloe, from the initial struggle to the final fall
to the ground with horror in her eyes and never moved again.
Liam put down the knife and walked to the
kitchen.
He lit the burners, his face unreadable.
“Grace, I’m coming to see you now, will you see
me?”

to the ground with horror in her eyes and never
moved again.
Liam put down the knife and walked to the
kitchen.
He lit the burners, his face unreadable.
“Grace, I’m coming to see you now, will you see
me?”
But, until the flames engulfed him completely,
until the moment he lost consciousness, all that
he saw was a void of white light, no figure of
Grace.
He slowly shed tears.
He knew that Grace wouldn’t forgive him after
all.
