It was already dark out when Celeste regained her consciousness . She supported her weak body as she got out of bed , preparing to leave the hospital . As she passed by a hospital ward , she heard Ophelia's sweet voice coming from inside . " Dad , Mom , this is Damien , my boyfriend . " Celeste stopped in her tracks . Through the half - open door , she saw Damien with his arm around Ophelia's waist , saying in a gentle tone , " Mr. and Mrs. Hart , please don't worry .

I won't let Lia suffer any grievances in the future . " Margaret beamed with joy . " Good , good . Lia is so fortunate to find a boyfriend like you … " Standing outside the door , Celeste suddenly remembered that Damien had done the same thing many years ago . He held her waist and solemnly told her parents , " Mr. and Mrs. Wilde , please don't worry . I will never let Celeste suffer any grievances . " The exact same words were now spoken to someone else .

So, this was how much his promises were worth . Celeste bit down on her lip until she tasted blood , then she turned and left . After leaving , Celeste checked the time . The identity erasure procedures would be complete in three days . Soon , she and her parents could leave this place entirely . No matter how hard Damien searched afterward , he would find no trace of her .

When she got home , she hurriedly packed what little she wanted to take - just a few changes of clothes , her ID , and her passport . She didn't want to take anything else . The door burst open just as she was tucking her passport into her bag . Damien stood in the doorway with Ophelia behind him , tears still streaming down her face . " Dad's out of danger now , but at his age , this really took a toll on him … " Ophelia's voice broke as she spoke , wiping at her eyes .

Damien gently brushed away her tears . " Stop crying . I'm here to make this right for you . " He paused , " How do you want her to apologize ? I'll agree to it as long as it's not too excessive . " Ophelia glanced timidly at Celeste and said quietly , " I … I want Celeste to spend a few days in jail . " Damien immediately frowned . " Lia , that's going a bit too far . " " I know you can't bear to do it . " Ophelia tugged at his sleeve , and her eyes were bloodshot .

" But my dad was hurt so badly . If we don't teach her a lesson , she'll keep bullying us … She bit her lip , her voice dropping even lower . " It's only a few days . Just to make sure she never dares do this again … " Damien , I know Mrs. Ashford is your true love , and I'm just a distraction . If you really can't bear to do this , then … maybe we should just end things . " Damien was silent for several seconds , then he finally pulled her into his arms helplessly .

" Don't talk about ending things . I'll do whatever you want . " Just like that , Celeste was sent to the county jail . Before Damien left , he didn't even spare her a glance . After confirming he was gone , Ophelia turned back to give Celeste a cold , sinister smile . She whispered something to the officer nearby and slipped him a wad of money .
