Tiana Thorne's words sent a chill of fear through her heart.
The thought that, back then, if Tiana had been harmed by Meredith Ford and died in the elevator accident, this lifetime she truly would never have seen her beloved again.
This taste of fear was exactly the same as when she first learned that Poppy had been taken away, as if she was submerged in the ocean, suffocating, with every breath becoming more difficult.
When she first learned of this matter, she was merely furious, unable to believe that Meredith would do such a cruel thing.
Now, thinking back on it, not even anger remained in her heart, only a still pool of dead water, without a ripple for her tears.
It seemed that the girl crying her heart out while kneeling before her now was just an insignificant stranger.
She finally understood why Maxim, who had always doted on Meredith, would confine her to the temple, never to let her out again for life.
