“Please have sfood. You're the head of the household and the backbone of the family. They still need you." “Where's Clark?" Alger suddenly lifted his weary eyes to ask.
“Ah, Clark's just outside,” Kenneth responded, suddenly realizing. "I'll go fetch him.
But the corridor was already void of Clark's presence.

Kenneth suddenly realized his son hadn't empathized with the Temple family's situation.
After all, Crystal had died because of the powerful force behind Carol.

Clark's fist was bleeding from a wound, staining his white shirt with spots of crimson. Two buttons were undone, giving him an aura of cold ruthlessness.
Hearing his phone ring, Clark picked it up. His wound worsened, but he seemed indifferent.
“Where the hell have you been? Alger wants to see you! | understand you want to take care of your girlfriend, but Crystal just passed away. Have you thought about how Alger and Celeste might feel?" “I'll be there soon." Before Kenneth could finish his sentence, he heard the busy tone on the other end of the line. "Silly boy.” he muttered.
He was so thoughtless! Clark rushed to the hospital as fast as he could, put on his coat to cover the prominent red stain on his shirt.

The remaining few will be caught by noon tomorrow." Upon noticing Clark's bleeding fist, Alger understood what had transpired. "You've seen them, haven't you?" "Yes," Clark admitted. “I have." "No matter how many times they are punished, it won't bring my baby girl back,” Celeste cried, agony etched in her voice.
“Even though we can't bring Crystal back, we can't let them off easily. They must pay the price." Clark clenched his fist before bowing deeply, "I'm sorry. This happened because of me. | don't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but | hope you won't grieve excessively. Your health is important." “My daughter is gone. What's the point of being healthy or living a long life!" Celeste cried.
