After all, they had been a married couple for life, so Sean still took pity on her. It was impossible for Sean t o plead with his son to spare his lawfully wedded wife's life. He did not have the face to do it. All of the countless crimes Rose had done to Sebastian were enough for Sebastian to tear her up into a million pieces. However, Sean and Rose had still been married for life. Therefore, the only thing Sean could do to help Rose was to set her free.
At that moment, Rose was better dead than alive. She had to face white walls and white covers every day. She would have gone crazy if she had not already been. However, it just so happened that Rose had not gone crazy. That made it even harder for her to get through her days.
"Sean, I know all of the mistakes I have made. I was too competitive and too ambitious. I was the one who had taken advantage of Grace in order to stabilize our business. Later on, it was me again who had lured her over and then set her up, so she ended up in prison. That was because I found out that you weren't without any feelings for her. I found out that you loved her. I was afraid. Therefore, I got her to come to this country and then I framed her and got her imprisoned. Now that I think about it, who had Grace offended? We had destroyed her home. We destroyed her love, and we had reduced her to being a homewrecker. We let her get pregnant, but she did not even have a place to give birth. She had given birth, but she did not even get to b e part of the Ford family. How could we be so cruel to her? We did not think so at that time. I did not think s o either. I even thought that people who had done great things should not be bothered with trivial matters. However, we had overlooked the fact that who are we to deprive her of everything?” 1
She continued. "Sean, you were right. Both you and I are sinners through and through. It was Sebastian who had won, after all. This child truly had brought glory to his mother. He, alone, had avenged all the grievances that his mother had suffered and snatched back everything that he had lost. Not only that, but he had also killed his enemies. He had made all of his enemies get the punishments that they deserved. Sebastian is truly great. Putting aside the fact that he i s your son, even if he is not your son, I would also think that he is great. How great would it be if I could have a biological son like Sebastian? I am a sinner. I a m not worthy to be Sebastian's stepmother. Therefore, it is not too much at all for him to let me have such a torturous punishment. Sean, I have to thank you. Thank you for sending this blade to me so that I finally can stop facing these white tiled walls and white covers. I finally can be free now. Sean, will you buy a shroud to wrap my body and bury me in the grounds? Sean..."
While tears streamed down Rose's face, she took that blade and sliced it on her aorta without any hesitation. A pool of murky red instantly stained the
white ward that was not too big. It was all silent and quiet that night.
The sky was gloomy the following day. Sean woke up a t six in the morning, and he left the house with a depressed and mournful expression to buy breakfast for his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
That restaurant was what Sean had discovered by himself. One day when he got up for a morning walk, h e saw several old men and women, who were enjoying their leisure morning, coming out of an alley while carrying food containers. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he then walked towards the alley.
It was after he had gone into the alley that he realized people were coming out from the deep ends of the alley. Some of them were carrying food containers while some carried small pots. What was going on?
