Chapter 491:

Unbeknownst to Cedric, the pearl held a tumultuous history. Daniela’s revelation of its story left him profoundly shaken.

Earlier, when they were downstairs, he had only noticed her distress; he hadn’t grasped the depth of her turmoil until now.

Consider it a blessing from your mother, delivered through my hands. Please, let go of your sorrow. Remember, I’m here for you, and in spirit, so is she.”

That night, Daniela retreated to her room, her spirit dampened by the day’s emotions.

Cedric joined her, synchronizing his nightly routine with hers in a tender gesture of solidarity.
