I opened my eyes, tears blurring my vision, but I felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
It turned out my mother was even greater and stronger than I had imagined.
"However, I believe he will come to see you again. There may be some reasons I don't know about, but I feel there are still unresolved issues between Jack and your mother," Ethan suddenly stated.
Ethan's words surprised me, but I didn't expect Jack to come looking for me just a few days later. Reluctantly, I found myself heading back to the prison to see him.
I really didn't want to see him at the prison, but something inside me urged me to uncover the truth about certain matters.
As I stepped once more into that cold prison, my heart felt unusually heavy, each step seeming to tread upon the thorns of the past.
The air was thick with oppression and despair, starkly contrasting the bright sunlight outside.
Jack, who once occupied a significant place in my life but had destroyed it with his own hands, was now waiting for my arrival.
Passing through layers of iron gates, I was led to a visitation room.
He sat there, looking more gaunt than before. His eyes lacked the former arrogance, replaced instead by an indescribable complexity.
Perhaps due to our last unpleasant encounter, he regarded me with a less complicated expression this time.
"I'm curious. Why do you want to see me again after the last unpleasant conversation we had?"
