Chester's gaze dimmed into desolation. "Claud Laurence is someone you can entrust yourself to. I know very clearly that if you're with him, he'll definitely be able to give you a kind of happiness the whole world would envy. He asked me to stay away from you, to return to you a quiet world, to let him smooth out the hurt I brought you… Back then I was sunk in despair and decadence, yet I was painfully aware I had already lost you completely…"
Alice's body went rigid again. In the wind-swept airport, her eyes suddenly burned, then filled with a mist of tears…
Chester stared deeply into Alice's reddened eyes. "You should know now, it was Claud who stirred things up. That night, he deliberately found a woman who looked almost exactly like you, and had her put on a show with me in the car… If I hadn't gone to Paris yesterday to see our daughter, if I hadn't heard about you and Claud from her mouth, I'm afraid I would never have known that the two of you were not together."
