You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1920: I'm Willing

Several days later, Christian returned Athena's ashes to the Tanaka family and the Yoshikawa family in Rohomes.

It was a rainy day, with misty morning weather and low visibility. Looking around, the lush greenery was shrouded in white mist.

A private plane was parked on the empty runway. Vicki and Joyce were both there. Vicki held a large black umbrella, big enough to shelter both of them. The wild winds blew, and it took all of Vicki's strength to keep the umbrella from being blown away.

Joyce held onto Vicki's arm, silently gazing ahead. Christian boarded the plane and handed over a black-cloth-wrapped box to the personnel on the private plane.

Vicki glanced at Joyce. "Why did you come out in this weather? I said I could handle it alone. Are you worried? Do you want to see Athena's ashes with your own eyes?"

"A little," Joyce admitted. "She was so malicious, I'm afraid she might come back."

"Don't worry, that's impossible," Vicki scoffed. "She knew it herself, she didn't have long. That's why she wanted to take us down with her, even in her final moments, her intentions were so cruel."

"Yeah, she was addicted to drugs and wouldn't have lived much longer. In a way, I think her whole life was a tragedy. Born into the Yoshikawa family, she saw the darkness of human nature from a young age. She gradually disguised herself, living in deceit, and in the end, I'm afraid she even believed it herself," Joyce shrugged. "I can imagine, she had deluded herself a long time ago."

"I agree. At first, she might have genuinely felt something for Mr. Warner. But her possessiveness was too strong; she didn't understand what love truly meant. In her eyes, it was all about possession. I think the years of repressed life led to a severe mental illness. But neither the Yoshikawa family nor the Ballard family were willing to face this fact. Without proper treatment, she'd only become more extreme," Vicki sighed. "Sometimes, it's really better to be born into an ordinary family. Maybe it would have been a different life."

"Yeah," Joyce agreed. "To whom much is given, much is expected. You and I are destined to lead extraordinary lives."

"Let it go, I've gotten used to it," Vicki patted Joyce's shoulder.
