GoodReadShe knew she needed to apologize to her.
Curled up, she wept intensely.
Through her tear-filled eyes, Devyn noticed a slender hand offering her a tissue.
She looked up and saw Slater standing there.
Slater gazed down at her, extending a gentle hand to lift her up and wipe away her tears.
“It’s alright.
Your mother will be safe and sound.
Devyn gradually calmed down, though her eyes remained a Little red.
She bowed her head before Slater.
“I know | was truly in the wrong this time.
| shouldn't have strayed because of the pressure from my family.

Devyn'’s silent weeping made Slater's heart ache.
He spoke softly.
“While you've made mistakes, the person you owe an apology to isn't me.
It’s Stella.
Surprised, Devyn raised her head to meet his earnest gaze.
Nodding, she admitted, “You're right.
| owe Stella the biggest apology.
But | doubt she'll forgive me.
Slater remained silent for a moment, and then redirected his gaze toward the closed doors of the operating
room.
“I know your mother is waiting for a new kidney.
| have resources to help you find one, so don’t worry.
Devyn choked back sobs, tears streaming down her face.
“Why are you willing to helplike this? We have nothing to do with each other, and I've done so many bad
things.
| don’t deserve your kindness.
Slater gently wiped away her tears, speaking frankly.
“I've always admired the person you used to be.
Sunny and cheerful.
Seeing you in pain now hurtstoo.
| hope you can return to being that person.
Devyn felt a pang of remorse at his words.
If only she had realized her mistakes earlier, she might not have caused so much harm.
Softly comforting her, Slater continued, “I understand you were pressured into your actions, but you don’t have
to bear it alone.

I'm here for you.
I'll support you.
Devyn’s inner defenses crumbled.
With someone to lean on, all her pent-up emotions poured out.
She threw herself into Slater's arms, crying bitterly.
“Thank you.
Despite seeing the worst in me, you haven't turned away.
Even in my darkest moments, you're here for me.
Devyn couldn’t stand the person she had become.
Whenever she looked in the mirror, she saw a face twisted with ugliness and regret.
Due to her selfish motives, she had morphed into the very type of person she had once despised.
Constantly seeking justification for hurting those closest to her, she had nearly forgotten her former self.
