Chapter 121 Love In The Shadows Pt2

So you can decide whether it's right to let go of everything you've been carrying in your heart and the burden you've been carrying until now.

There's still time for you to experience being happy as a family. It's never too late to be happy, Arcel. And I want you to truly feel that."
