Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 526

So, it turned out the nightmares he'd suffered every night in prison weren't just dreams-they were memories. Everything had actually happened in his last life.

He was tormented each day, desperate to find Claire and explain, but after witnessing the heartbreak of his mother dying without ever being forgiven, he couldn't bring himself to face Claire.

Deep down, he knew the pain he'd caused Claire was no less than what he'd done to his mother. If Claire couldn't forgive her own mother, how could she ever forgive him?

So he stayed quietly in Cresthaven, year after year, keeping to himself.

Those years were nothing short of agony.

He'd wanted to leave Claire in peace, to never disturb her life again. But in the end, he couldn't help himself—he came to Northcrest City.

Even if all he could do was watch Claire from afar, to see with his own eyes that she was happy, that would be enough for him.

It was only after coming to Northcrest City that he discovered Claire and Sean already had a daughter.

Her name was Amara.

The very same name as in his last life, and she looked exactly the same.

Last time, Claire died never knowing she had a daughter.
