Audrey was wide-eyed at the sight of that swift turn of events.

His eyes caught the figure of the person who means the most in his life has now sat on Joss' body. Beat him mercilessly. Aurel, meanwhile, was only able to shout near the door when she saw Eric beating her husband blindly, mercilessly!
Audrey was still frightened in the corner of the room. Aurel would rather appease her brother than stop Eric.
Finally Eric stopped his action as he looked at the already defenseless Joss. His face was battered, fresh blood pouring profusely from his temples, nose, to the corners of his lips.
Eric gasps while staring at Joss like looking at a carcass that has no meaning at all.
If only he didn't remember Audrey, maybe now Eric would have killed the man to**t!
Eric approached Audrey.
Audrey slips into Eric's arms, and he cries a mouthful in his arms.
Eric put his chin on Audrey's head while rubbing Audrey's back gently.
"I'm sorry, Audrey.... I'm sorry I let you go with your sister to a place that reminds you of your past. I should have prevented you from entering the same valley. If I had been a little late coming here, I would never have forgiven myself."
Audrey shook her head weakly in Eric's embrace. Audrey wanted to say something, but her tongue was still faint.
While Aurel was still staring at her husband with a strange look. Aurel was looking at a stranger. A criminal who has ruined the future of his own younger brother.
It felt like Aurel wanted to die when he learned of that harsh reality. If Aurel had not remembered her two children, Aurel would have preferred to end her life. But a sane mind still faithfully seduced him not to do such a foolish thing.
Joss tried to open his eyes that had been bruised and torn on the petals.
Joss looked at Eric, Audrey and Aurel......
His wife!
"Are you satisfied now?" Joss said heavy and flattened.
"If indeed with my death can make amends for all my mistakes, then please ... Please kill me ..." Keep Joss on again.
Eric stared at Joss. Between being angry and confused by the words that Joss had just spoken.
"Audrey .... I beg you again, please forgive me. Uhuk .... Uhuk!"
Then Joss turned her eyes to Aurel.
"And for you Aurel .... I'm really sorry to you because I haven't been able to be a good husband and father to you and to our children..."
Aurel shut her mouth tightly. Holding back his sobs that he had been holding back.
"I beg you to forgive me .... Please take care of our children...." Joss's voice was almost inaudible.
Joss's face fell to the side.
Aurel shouted hysterically, then he approached Joss and hugged her body firmly.
Audrey buried her head in Eric's chest, and then she sobbed there.
***
One week later.
"Audrey, are you ready?" Ask Eric.
Audrey put her last shirt in her suitcase. He looked at Eric with a smile.
"It." Answer Audrey.
"We stopped by the hospital first yes, to say goodbye to your sister."
Audrey nodded.
Audrey told her brother and Eric that day. Eric felt a little guilty for beating up Joss. At that time Eric was already emotional when he saw Joss touch Audrey's body. Eric doesn't know that Joss just wanted to apologize to Audrey.
Same with Aurel.
She was glad to forgive her husband.
While Audrey, even though she no longer felt fear or hatred for her sister-in-law, she still could not if she had to see him. Audrey only occasionally came to the hospital to deliver food to her brother or accompany Chen and Ling to play outside, without even daring to enter the room where Joss was treated.
"Audrey, wait here. Let me call your brother."
Audrey nodded. Then Eric went into the room, not long after he came out again with Aurel.
"Audrey, are you really going back to your apartment?" Ask Aurel.
"Yes, brother." Answer Audrey.
"alright. Be careful there. Sorry that you couldn't drive you."
"No problem, brother. But is big brother really okay I'm staying?"
Aurel smiled.
"It's okay. My husband's condition is improving now. In a few days he was also allowed to go home."
"Thank God."
Suddenly Aurel hugged Audrey tightly.
"Audrey, I'm sorry about all the things that happened to you. I hope your life today is better than ever. Forget the things that have passed."
Audrey nodded at Aurel's shoulder, then let go of their hugging, and stared intensely at Aurel.
"Sister, please tell Brother Joss, I've forgiven him. So don't ever blame yourself again."
Aurel was shocked when she heard Audrey's words. His tears slowly poured down his cheeks. Then she hugged Audrey.
"Thank you, Audrey. Thanks." Lirih Aurel slowly.
Suddenly Eric approached them. Aurel and Audrey look at Eric.
"Sister, there's actually one thing I want to tell you."
Aurel frowned.
"About what, Eric?"
Eric looked at Audrey at a glance, Audrey looked confused looking at Eric.
Eric smiling.
"Relse .... Allow me to marry Audrey." Eric was firm and steady.
