For four long years, Martin had remained in a vegetative state.

Given his prolonged unconsciousness, it seemed highly improbable that he would ever awaken.

His extraordinary mind lay dormant in a hospital bed, quietly awaiting the inevitable end-a fate that even Kenrick found disheartening,

Shaking off these heavy thoughts, Kenrick looked down at Suzanna, who was sobbing uncontrollably in his arms. In that moment, he was struck by how closely her features mirrored those of Melody from four years prior Both had eyes swollen and red from tears, yet while Melody had steadfastly refused to cry, Suzanna was a fragile girl whose tears cascaded down her cheeks, painting a picture of heart-wrenching vulnerability.

This stark contrast inexplicably ignited a flicker of irritation within Kenrick as he observed Suzanna's tear-stained face.

He quickly pushed that annoyance aside, extending a gentle hand to wipe her cheeks dry.

Deep down, he felt a natural inclination to protect the weak, relishing the sense of being needed.

In the past, Melody had leaned on him, allowing him to freely display his protective instincts around her.

But gradually, she had learned to stand on her own two feet. It was hard to grasp that only three or four years had slipped by since she had been so dependent, when Martin would personally drive her to her extracurricular activities.

Now, she had blossomed into a fiercely independent woman, pursuing studies in alternative medicine and electrotherapy, immersed in her schoolwork, and increasingly finding herself in the company of the Shields brothers, needing his assistance less and less,

In her presence, Kenrick often felt overshadowed, until one day when he found Suzanna in distress. suffering a heart attack at the Shields' residence.

He had rushed her to the hospital himself, and as she clutched his sleeve with gratitude sparkling in her eyes, he rediscovered a sense of purpose in his masculinity.

With Suzanna, he felt significant.

Since then, whenever he visited Melody, he made it a point to discreetly check on Suzanna's well-being.

He took pride in not overstepping boundaries, believing he was acting honorably.

Yet he failed to see that avoiding Melody to spend time with Suzanna was fundamentally flawed, and he found himself unwittingly digging a deeper hole for himself over time. Supporting the fragile Suzanna, Kenrick glanced at Derrick, whose demeanor grew increasingly disheartened, and found himself agreeing with Suzanna's viewpoint.

She was merely a weak girl, suffering from illness to the extent of contemplating suicide; how could she possibly have the strength to devise a scheme involving Snowleaf to frame Melody? So he said firmly, "Derrick, you've been misled by Melody.

"Even if Snowleaf is present in the ointment for Suzanna's forehead and is applied correctly, what does that prove?

"What if someone is trying to set her up?

"She can't even safeguard herself in the detention center, and Melody monitors her constantly in the hospital.

If she had the capability to conduct those extraction "experiments, how come there's no photographic evidence?"

As he spoke, Kenrick turned his gaze to Melody, his expression growing more intricate.

In front of her, the connection between him and Suzanna left him momentarily speechless.

But now he was addressing the matter directly, and he believed Melody would recognize his righteous intentions

He was offering her a chance for redemption rather than continuing to slander her sister.

Suzanna raised her gaze to meet Melody's indifferent stare, her voice weak yet full of desperation.

"Mel, no matter what I may have done to upset you, I can take the blame.

"But Derrick didn't mean to provoke you, he gave me the ointment, yet what happened to my face isn't anyone's fault...

"I honestly don't understand this Snowleaf extract. We ordinary people lack knowledge in biomedicine; we just follow what the experts say.

"I'm sorry, Mel, but I truly cannot be held responsible for this."

Suzanna was acutely aware that average people rarely grasped such information.

Even if Melody exaggerated her claims, as long as she didn't concede, there would be no direct evidence that Suzanna would harm her own face.

Moreover, if she dared to act, she would ensure there were no fatal mistakes left behind.

Sierra raised an eyebrow, surprised that the Snowleaf data had been analyzed, yet Suzanna remained so.

resolute.

Her mental fortitude was admirable..

She approached them, dropping another set of comprehensive data analysis reports in front of Suzanna.

Ms. Shield, the previous report indicated the presence of Snowleaf in the scar on your forehead.

"This report details the ingredient data extracted from other so-called influencers's faces.

"Their allergic reactions varied, and I cross-referenced all those allergenic components with the YM Cosmetics ingredient database. Only one influencer's allergy, which caused an inflammatory response to the vitamin C inducer, corresponded with an ingredient in YM Cosmetics. "And the vitamin C inducer needed to provoke such severe allergic symptoms in that blogger must be above 500% in YM Cosmetics to cause that level of reaction."
