"You think you can replace her?" Catrin's face turned cold.
Emily looked a little hesitant. But then she laughed and nodded. "Of course, I can. After all, she is gone already. Now, she would never return. So, why can't I take her place?"
Catrin's fingers clenched. It was the truth, but she was not ready to accept it. Her jaws clenched as she refused, "Arwen would come back. We are her parents, and she wouldn't abandon us."
Emily laughed loudly —no longer restrained. "Really?"
Before Catrin could answer her, Mia appeared back and informed, "Ma'am, the care is here."
Catrin gave one last glance at Emily before she turned to leave.
However, Emily watched her back and said, "Aunt Catrin, it's time for you to accept it." Her laughter rang loud in the hall, echoing throughout the space. "Your daughter, Arwen, would never return to you again. You lost her completely today. You lost her … completely … haha."
Catrin's step halted. Her fingers clenched.
