Mila's emotional cry echoed down the entire hallway. Naturally, Jace heard it loud and clear.

He froze for a moment, locking eyes with the middle-aged woman, whose eyes were brimming with tears just a few meters away.

For some inexplicable reason, his heart felt heavy and sluggish, his breathing laced with an indescribable gloom. It was the same feeling he had when he watched the severely injured Bella crawl out of the overturned car.

"Hugh... Is it really you? Hugh!" Normally dignified and composed, Mila now stood sobbing uncontrollably, completely losing her composure. "Hugh... It's your mother! You're still alive... You're really alive!"

'Mother...?' Jace stared blankly at the woman approaching him, his heart seeming to pause as though someone had pressed the spacebar. His fingers holding a cigarette trembled slightly.

The next second, a sharp headache pulled him back to reality.

Jace quickly extinguished the cigarette on the balcony and disappeared like lightning before Mila could reach him.

"Hugh!" Mila, ignoring everything, rushed forward but lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground. She scraped both knees, the pain and sadness overwhelming her as she lay on the floor, unable to get up.

Meanwhile, on the adjacent balcony, just a wall away, Jace took a deep breath, listening to the woman's sorrowful cries.
