Where is John Fame? What's happened to Aurora Dupont? What about the people I knew? The faces I was familiar with?
Lissy Lock lowered her head, looking at her own belly. She gently patted it.
The child was still with her. This child, who accompanied her through so many chapters of her life, and countless storms.
I'm alive. I'm still alive. What about John Fame? How is he?
He was so severely injured... so much blood, especially his right hand. If it was ruined because of her, how could she live with it?
As Lissy Lock was thinking, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open again. She hastily looked up.
She saw several people come in together, all of them strangers. She didn't recognize them.
However, immediately after, another person in, who Lissy Lock did recognize.
"Oliver Winslow…", Lissy Lock said, "Why, why... is it you?"
