"I would hate you had you stopped me!" Vivian stated. "He deserved to die!"
"Alright, alright," Eudora was worried that speaking on this matter would only make her sadder, so she hurriedly stopped her. "It's alright now."
Vivian hummed and touched her lower abdomen again. "How ridiculous are us humans? I hate him so much that I killed him with my own hands. But, this child, I just couldn't bear to get rid of it!"
Eudora was silent. She didn't know what to say.
Vivian, however, smiled as if she was comforting herself. "Maybe it's because I don't have a family."
"Yes! That must be it," Eudora agreed.
Both of them then fell silent.
Vivian held Eudora's hand for a long time. "Have you ever loved Mr. Nolan?"
Eudora was stunned. "No!"
"But, in my opinion, he treated you very well, at least in his own ways."
Eudora was puzzled. "What makes you say that?" In her opinion, Fabian had done too many bad things. She really couldn't see the kindness among his evil.
"Well, I couldn't really tell either. It was Callum... He sometimes came back and talked about the two of you. I heard that when Fabian was very happy when you promised him. He had arranged every detail of the wedding ceremony all by himself before showing it to you! I just thought that you should know."
Eudora was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly said, "What he did does sound romantic, but if you really know me, you should know that I already have someone else in my heart. I even have my own family and children. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much. In the end, everything was destroyed by them. He even died in my hands in order to ensure that he stays in my mind forever. Every memory I had with him was filled with deceit and fear!"
Momentarily stunned, Vivian quickly said, "Eudora, that's not what I meant."
"I know. You just wanted to see how I would react. But this is my truth. I will never love Fabian."
"Alright, I understand!" Vivian let out a bitter laugh. "Perhaps I was just looking too much into things."
Eudora looked at her doubtfully. "You..."
"Forget it. Truth be told, I didn't ask for you to come here for anything important. It's just that there might never be a chance for us to meet again in the future. So, could I ask you for a final favor?"
"What is it?"
Vivian took a bracelet from her hand and put it into Eudora's hand. "This has been given to me by Callum! If you have the chance, please return it to him on my behalf! I don't want to remember him anymore, and I certainly don't want to keep his things around me."
Eudora pursed her lips. She already knew about it. Although Vivian had killed Callum with her own hands, she, without even knowing it, had already gotten used to that man in her life.
This was probably the fabled 'Stockholm Syndrome'. She had asked her to come here was to find out if Eudora felt the same.
However, she ended the topic when she realized that that wasn't the case.
Eudora didn't know what or how to comment on Vivian's mood. After all, she couldn't read her mind, and she didn't know how Callum felt about Vivian.
That was someone else's business. She did not want to meddle too much in it. She just wanted to live a good life with Amos!
Eudora walked out of the detention center with the bracelet in her hand and smiled at Amos, who had been waiting for her outside.
The sun was shining, bathing his whole body in its warm embrace.
He immediately stood up straight upon seeing Eudora and stretched his hand out towards her. Eudora walked over, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.
The case was over, and Harley was ready to go back to Rosaville City.
