The cemetery was rather remote. Not only were there large thickets around the area, the paths were
quite rocky as well.
The thick smog enveloping the area could easily affect one’s sense of direction as well. If headed in the
wrong direction, the forest would seem like a confusing maze, which would make the journey even
more dangerous than it was.
Renee was completely immersed in her phone, wondering if she should tell Leia about William’s
complicated past with Briar. Then, suddenly, she felt her entire body falling forward…
Renee screamed as she tumbled down a cliff. She hit her head on a large rock going down, and
instantly faded into unconsciousness.
Meanwhile, Stefan and Briar had already arrived at the child’s tomb. A small gravestone stood there
forlornly, with the baby’s name and death date engraved on it.
“Hi, baby! Mommy and Uncle Stefan are here to see you again. How are you feeling today? The
weather’s getting kind of cold, so I prepared lots of
warm clothes for you. Do you like them?” Briar mumbled as she knelt in front of the grave, placing
some bags of clothes onto the ground.
Stefan was no longer feeling guilty, and instead looked slightly annoyed. However, knowing that Briar
was mentally ill, he remained silent, allowing the woman to live in her delusions for now.
Under normal circumstances, a fetus wouldn’t be considered a person, and in their culture, those who
set up a tomb for the unborn would be besieged by bad luck. However, this child was considered a
special case, as it was the late Tristan and Briar’s only child.
Stefan had only agreed to bury the fetus after the woman’s constant begging. They had placed it in an
expensive coffin, and found a powerful shaman to safely bury the child in this secluded area.
Stefan was starting to space out as Briar continued muttering in front of the grave. He would
occasionally glance at the cemetery entrance, his brow furrowed.
‘Hmph, why isn’t that woman here yet? I left her only a mile away from this place, and the path is a
straight one too. It shouldn’t take her more than twenty minutes to arrive, but it’s been over an hour!
Where is she?!’
Once Briar was finally finished, she looked up and asked, “Stef, where is Miss Everheart? I’m done
talking to my baby now. Should we keep waiting for her?”
Stefan checked his wristwatch and replied tonelessly, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
They waited for another thirty minutes, but Renee was still nowhere to be found.
Briar wiped her tears, her voice quivering with sadness. “Let’s just go, Stef, I don’t think she’ll be
coming anytime soon. I can tell that Miss Everheart doesn’t regret hurting me back then, nor does she
think she is responsible for my child’s death.”
“Maybe she still sees me as the horrible mistress who destroyed her marriage. Maybe she thinks I
deserve to lose my baby and end up this way! She’s probably gone home by now. I mean, she’s no
saint, so why would she visit the grave of my child? Let’s not force her to if she doesn’t want to…”
Stefan fell silent, his expression growing colder.
Briar continued, “And she kept talking about that artificial uterus procedure back in the car, urging us to
have more children too! She was just mocking us, wasn’t she? It was like she was trying to add insult to
injury! If she’s not genuine in visiting my baby’s grave, I don’t need her here, and my baby doesn’t need
her here either! Let’s just go.”
The man clenched his fists tightly, as he had thought the same. He had no idea what Renee was
thinking by urging him to have more children when they were on their way to visit a dead baby’s grave.
‘She definitely had bad intentions!’
“You’re right, I was too naive. She’s always been a cold-hearted and selfish person; if she really was
feeling guilty about her actions, she would’ve come to visit the child’s grave a long time ago. She
wouldn’t have just disappeared for four whole years.”
Stefan took a deep breath, telling himself to keep a clear mind and to stop hoping the woman would
change. Thus, as dusk approached, he drove out of the forest with Briar in his passenger seat.
Under the dim moonlight, Renee had finally regained consciousness. Her head was spinning, her left
leg was fractured, and she was unable to move.
