Ronan Duskcliff\u2019s furious roar echoed through the room, causing Riley to flinch but quickly steady herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tessa had awakened. Finally, Riley\u2019s name would be cleared of murder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, the ones who should be afraid were not her-but Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Kael, Maddox, Ronan-the ones who had wronged her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curiosity flickered in Riley\u2019s eyes. She wondered what their faces would look like when they learned the truth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She straightened her back, never feeling more confiden than in this moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A faint, almost mocking smile curled on her lips as she locked eyes with Ronan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her calm gaze made his heart skip a beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that instant, he realized Riley had changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her entire aura had shifted, inside and out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once, she had cowered before him like a frightened wolf before a hunter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, she stared at him boldly, her eyes dripping with scorn, as if he were a complete failure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riley stood beside Tessa\u2019s bed, one hand holding onto the frail figure lying there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both were painfully thin and pale; even the bruises on their necks looked eerily similar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, Ronan felt a strange pang of empathy, as if Riley and Tessa were bound by the same suffering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A creeping fear settled in his chest-one he dared not analyze, fearing it would consume him utterly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He tore his gaze away and forced down the emotions threatening to burst forth, signaling the healers to examine Tessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room fell into a suffocating silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All\u00a0<\/p>\n
focused on Tessa, except for Riley\u2019s, which burned with fierce determination at Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s face was pale and trembling, like a startled prey, her body shaking uncontrollably.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her mind, she screamed, Why is Tessa still alive? Why can\u2019t she just die?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlet\u2019s fear was not only over the failed attempt to kil Tessa but also that every word she and her father had whispered in secret had been heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Tessa spoke out, Scarlett and her father would have no hope left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was why Scarlett had lured Tessa into the Black Forest, trying to end her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As everyone\u2019s attention was fixed on Tessa, Scarlett tried to edge toward the door, intending to alert her father and escape with her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But a ghostly voice stopped her cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Scarlett, where do you think you\u2019re going? Don\u2019t you want to see your best friend safe and sound?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett froze, eyes wide with terror as they met Riley\u2019s mocking gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All attention shifted to Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her face drained of color, eyes wild with panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kael and Maddox noticed the change and exchanged questioning looks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kael asked with concern, \u201cScarlett, are you alright? Why do you look so pale?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett nervously twisted her hands, avoiding eye contact, stammering, \u201cI\u2026 I\u2019m not feeling well all of a sudden.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maddox stepped closer gently. \u201cIf you\u2019re unwell, I\u2019ll take you to see a healer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He reached to guide her away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop!\u201d Riley\u2019s shout cracked through the room, making Scarlett and Maddox jump.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maddox frowned, about to admonish her, but Riley\u2019s cold glare cut him off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a healer right here. Taking her out means waiting in line and wasting time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words silenced Maddox completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though he disliked Riley\u2019s domineering tone, he couldn\u2019t deny the logic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The healer finished examining Tessa and announced, \u201cCongratulations, Tessa\u2019s awakening is a blessing in disguise. While being strangled, her survival instincts kicked in. Originally, she was only conscious, but fully waking would have taken much longer. The near-death struggle accelerated her recovery.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to the timely rescue, she avoided suffocation and death.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The simple explanation settled over everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It meant that although Tessa had been unconscious forve years, her body was weakened, unable to resist attacks. But her mind\u2019s fight saved her life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kael exhaled deeply and turned to Riley, his anger barely contained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRiley, what do you have to say now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
