Chapter 877 Penance

Beathan had been taken away for quite some time, but his words lingered in the air. They echoed endlessly in the small room, refusing to fade away.

Emelie's expression was hard to read, like a moon veiled by thick clouds, obscuring any trace of light.

Jodie couldn't bear the silence any longer and tentatively called out, "Ma'am?"

Emelie closed her eyes, her chest tightening. It was hard to tell if she felt pain or numbness.

She asked in a low voice, "Do you think what Beathan said is true? That my mother didn't die three years ago and is still alive?"

Jodie was just as shaken. In fact, her world had already been turned upside down some time ago.

The William she thought that she knew and the William she had witnessed these past few days were completely different.

One was cold, heartless, and indifferent.

The other would go to the ends of the earth for Emelie. He would jump off a cliff without hesitation, or venture into dangerous territory in Faldoria without a second thought.

It was as clear as day that he would do anything for Emelie. So, even Jodie couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.
