Aria slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in an unfamiliar room, with Mrs. Anita's warm smile hovering above her. The gentle guidance of Anita's hands helped Aria sit up, and she winced as a sharp pain shot through her bandaged stomach.

Memories began to flood back, and Aria's mind frantically searched for answers. How did she end up here? The doctors, the hospital... it was all a blur. But one face stood out in her mind - Lucas.

Aria's voice trembled as she asked, "What about the other guy? Were you able to save him?" Mrs. Anita's reassuring nod and gentle smile brought a glimmer of hope.

Anita handed Aria a letter, and as she unfolded the pages, her eyes widened in shock. Lucas's confession spilled out before her, revealing the truth about Jack's innocence. Aria's tears flowed freely as she read about Lucas's sinister plan, and how Jack had been framed.

The letter also revealed Lucas's regret and his ultimate decision to poison himself. But what struck Aria's heart was Lucas's acknowledgment of her love for Jack, and his apology for kidnapping her.

As Aria finished reading, her emotions overwhelmed her. She couldn't control her tears, and Mrs. Anita, sensing her distress, offered her a glass of water. Aria declined, askrd that she wants to be left alone for a while.

As the door closed behind Mrs. Anita, Aria surrendered to her grief, her thoughts consumed by Jack and the suffering he must have endured.
