"Ruby, congrats on getting your freedom back, and hope you won't have to visit this place again."

Ruby took the bouquet and said seriously, "I never want to go back in there."

From now on, she'd be more careful.

If there were something she wasn't good at, she'd hire someone to do it and steer clear of trouble as much as she could.

"Let's get out of this godforsaken place."

Megan took Ruby's hand.

Ruby gave a nod.

Under the protection of three people, she walked towards a line of luxury cars.

If it weren't for the obvious detention center sign behind her, she'd have thought she was returning from some great accomplishment.

Ruby and Owen shared a car.

Megan and Olina, the two mothers, specifically let the two young people have some alone time.

After getting in the car, Ruby leaned into Owen's arms.

Although they had held hands and embraced many times, he always took the initiative, and she just didn't refuse. Her taking the initiative now really surprised Owen. He held her tightly, feeling his years of waiting finally paid off.

But then, the face of Cecilia popped up in his mind.

Owen knew himself.
