"I'm giving you a final chance to meet," he held her hand, smiling faintly, "then let's make a clean break. Alright?"
Iris Harris lowered her eyes, remaining silent.
She indeed always wished to meet Oliver Lee one more time.
Not for anything else, she just wanted to apologize to Oliver Lee.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright."
Her voice quivered, somewhat unsteady.
Inside, she was in great pain, even despair.

What she wanted had been destroyed by Brandan Hyde himself.
She merely wanted a home, to live as an ordinary person, but even this small wish was no longer possible.
Brandan Hyde watched her slightly dim gaze, then reached out and held her hand.
"Let's go."
