As she was being loaded into the helicopter, she felt a sudden flash of anger surging through her, and she slapped Felix across the face.

His cheek swelled, and as he reached out his hand, Carol instinctively braced for a blow, squeezing her eyes shut. But instead of pain, she felt the click of a seatbelt.

Confused, she wondered if Felix had lost his mind. He seemed unfazed by her strike. What was he planning? The last the played his cards, the Millers were wiped out. What was his endgthis time? Feeling desperation creeping in, she blurted out, "Felix, can you just level with me? What are you trying to do?" As he leaned down to fasten her seatbelt, he looked up into her eyes, which tightened like a trapped bird under a hunter's gaze. "You want the truth?" "Yes, just give it tostraight. I haven't wronged you since we met, Felix. Even if you were returning a favor, it should be enough by now. If not for me, at least for the sake of the baby." "I know." After those few words, he reached for a blanket and draped it over her. He knew that Carol was the best thing that ever happened to him.

"Carol, I want you to stay by my side." He said it with a flicker of his eyelashes, only to hear her incredulous response, "Do you think you haven't tormentedenough? Felix, you're despicable." There it was-disgust before he could even express affection. He knew himself well enough to keep certain truths unspoken.

As Carol saw him preparing to join her in the helicopter, it was clear he intended to take her back. She began to struggle violently. "I want to get out, letgo!" The pilot, unable to contain himself, let slip, "Ms. Miller, Mr. Abner is at the wedding venue waiting for you." Carol froze, then laughed bitterly, "Classic Felix, bringing my dad out just to see his daughter's disgrace. To see the man who put him behind bars marry his daughter is like a public execution of the heart. You always did play dirty." The pilot wanted to explain that Mr. Brown had issued a declaration of forgiveness last night and that Abner had been released, but a look from Felix made him fall silent.
