"Mel, I...

Timothy wanted to explain, but he found himself at a loss for words.

But the words he was about to say were abruptly cut off by Melody's cold voice

Timothy!"

"Don't make me lose all respect for you."

"You're not here to apologize. You're just trying to keep up appearances for the Shields family, to keep this so-called family 'whole!"

"Just like the last time at the Summit when you apologized to me-not because you felt you'd wronged me, but becausé Golden Pax needed my plans."

"Timothy, you're selfish and proud. As the eldest son of the Shields, there's nothing wrong with thinking about the family's interests."

"But if you think an apology is going to make me reconcile with the Shields, you're sorely mistaken."

Melody's words cut deep, stripping Timothy's attempt at sincerity down to its core, exposing the hidden motives that even he couldn't deny.

His ears rang, and a stunned, numbing realization sank over him, leaving him lost for words.

"Just go."

"Don't come back."

Her voice was icy as she turned to leave the pavilion.

As she did, Timothy looked up, feeling a raw pain tear through him, as if something vital was being ripped

out.

Instinctively, he scrambled to his feet, reaching out to grab her wrist, but Melody easily evaded his trembling hand just as he nearly touched her sleeve.

Timothy's eyes reddened, and in a voice tinged with a hint of desperation, he called. "Mel, don't go

"At least... please take this."

This is your Ruby Zoisite pendant."

He forced himself to stand still, carefully pulling out the red jade piece, and holding it out in front of her. This time, the fractured jade was pieced back together, its surface webbed with hairline cracks, but he held it our, hoping against hope. "It broke accidentally, but I... I put it back together."

"Mel, Grandpa carved this red jade for you by hand. He put all his blessings for you into it...

On Veronica's birthday, Timothy watched as Melody shattered the Ruby Zoisite pendant right in front of him. He hadn't reacted at the time, but after the guests left, he'd gone back, gathering each shard by himself.

He had tried every method he could think of to mend, but no amount of repair could make the cracks disappear.

He'd even considered commissioning a new piece, crafted from the finest red jade, carved to the same pattern. But he couldn't wait any longer. He needed her to see it now, to know someone in the Shields family still cared about her. Melody's gaze lingered on the fractured red jade for a brief moment, and she let out a small laugh. She took it from him, only to toss it directly into the cold lake beside them. Timothy, give up."

The jade sank with a soft splash, disappearing into the lake's icy depths.

Timothy stood frozen, his eyes reddening as he watched her walk away, her silhouette growing blurrier with every step. A faint dampness traced down his cheek

Then, suddenly, a louder splash echoed across the lake

From the corridor nearby, someone screamed, "Look, someone else fell in the water!"

But this time, Melody didn't stop, nor did she look back
