"In a society governed by the rule of law, I indeed can't do much to you. However, I've already asked someone to record down your words, so you can look forward to spending the rest of your life in prison." "What... What right do you have to lockup in prison? Melody didn't suffer any major harm. Why should I spend my whole life behind bars?!" Wendy, who previously boasted about being ready to meet her end with Melody, felt weak in the knees at the realization that she was going to prison.

Lucas' eyes followed Melody into the emergency room before he sighed. He sat down heavily, feeling extremely dejected.
"It's my fault for not taking care of Melody properly and Grandma, which led to all of this happening. I misjudged someone..." Before Cedric could fully grasp what had happened, he heard Lucas confessing a heap of regrets. He patted the back of Lucas' head.
