“Goddaughter, huh?” Odalyn raised an eyebrow, considering the suggestion. Actually it was great, but she wondered if Elysia thought the same way.

She glanced at Elysia, her expression softening. “What do you think, sweetheart? Would you be okay with that?“.

Elysia smiled warmly. “I think it’s perfect.” In her heart, she had already seen Odalyn as a mother figure, and the Jacksons had always treated her like family. Becoming their goddaughter felt like the most natural step.

Odalyn’s face lit up with joy. From that moment on, she would have a daughter–beautiful, kind, and wise. It was more than she could have hoped for.

Berenger, too, couldn’t hide his delight. Logan had always been a handful, but this idea was pure gold.

The thought of having a daughter had been a distant dream, especially after Odalyn’s health issues had left them with only one child. Now, with Elysia, it felt like a dream come true.

Logan stood by, beaming from ear to ear. He’d gone from cousin to big brother in the blink of an eye, and the idea thrilled him. His parents should be thanking him–he’d just given them the daughter they’d always wanted.

Alyce; who had been hovering nervously by the door, finally relaxed. If only she had spotted that suspicious taxi earlier, Elysia might never have been in danger.

Thank goodness Odalyn had been there to help. If anything had happened to Elysia, Alyce would have blamed herself forever. But seeing how much everyone cared about her filled Alyce with a sense of relief and joy.
