"Do you remember the child | said | 'lost' before?" she explained gently.
As soon as the words left her lips, the room fell into stunned silence.
After all, that child was a scar on everyone's heart.
Even Jarrod turned to look at her.
Elodie met their eyes, her voice steady. "Jarrod saved the baby. He arranged for her to be taken to a specialized
artificial womb program in New York, where they kept her alive with cutting-edge technology. She was safely
born, and now—she's our daughter. Nadia."

Her happiness was genuine.
At last, Elodie could live her life without regrets.

Emile ruffled Elodie's hair, then looked at Jarrod with a rare softness. "You really went above and beyond for this,
Jarrod."
The truth was-
If not for Jarrod, Elodie's pain would have remained a wound that never healed.
Jarrod shook his head and squeezed Elodie's hand in silent reassurance. "We both got what we wished for."
With Nadia's arrival, the cold, echoing mansion suddenly felt alive with warmth and laughter.
The old woman was so overjoyed she insisted Elodie move back into the family home, pointing out that with so
