Chapter 4

Vivianne was the one who had collapsed.

She’d been searching for me for months. She’d been right outside the café where I worked. Weak. Lost. And I hadn’t known who she was.

I’d given Tyler’s medicine to save her.

And in doing so... I’d saved us all.

Vivianne took care of everything.

She paid the back rent. She settled our debts. She got Tyler the doctors and the supplies he needed.

But she did something more.

She walked into that café three days later. Straight up to my manager.

"You fired my niece," she said, her voice steady and cold. "For saving a life."

She placed enough money on the counter to buy the place twice over.

"Here," she said. "Buy yourself a conscience. And never again punish someone for being good."

She walked out, took my hand, and led me away.
