NovelFinishChapter 1148
Time—yes, that didn't stop. As the days, weeks, and months passed, Theo and Fiona's baby was born, and so
was Maximus and Diana's.
Theo and Fiona had a beautiful little girl who was the spitting image of Fiona. She inherited those big, gorgeous
eyes and thick lashes. For the new father, seeing his little one in her mother's arms was a huge relief, because
clearly, getting pregnant at their age hadn't been easy.
Especially with the memory of Amanda still fresh-young, healthy, and suddenly gone, leaving behind a grieving
father and daughter.
Maximus and Diana had a beautiful baby boy, who looked just like Maximus. He never said it out loud, but he
was incredibly grateful that both his wife and child made it through the pregnancy safely.
Amanda's loss hadn't just devastated Lucius-it also served as a painful reminder that pregnancy doesn't always
end well. A pregnant woman is always at risk, no matter how young or healthy she is.
Those joyful moments were good-but not quite enough. Not when Lucius was now living with the Moriartys and
barely spoke to anyone.
If anyone knew how he was doing, it was thanks to Angela, who always looked out for little Amanda and Lucius.
Who would've thought that when Anthony Moriarty made that deal with Alexia, his life would change by agreeing
to care for and protect Lucius?
"Lucius, sweetheart... How are you guys doing?" Angela asked, bringing a bottle of formula out to the garden
where he was with his daughter.
"We're good, just stepped out to get ssun," Lucius said calmly as he rocked his daughter in his arms.

bassinet," Angela said with that calm and patient tone only she had.
"What's going on, Angela?" Lucius asked, curious.
"My dear... It's been eight months since Amanda cinto our lives, and | feel like you've put your life on pause.
| know we're not in a rush, especially with this little angel around, but... what are you thinking about your future?
Do you have any plans yet?
Anthony toldyou decided to pause school, and that's fine. But what's next? Telldo you have any plans?"
Angela and her husband had already talked about it. Lucius had mentioned to Moriarty before that he was
planning to leave.
He explained that as long as he stayed there, the memories wouldn't let him move on. He was looking for peace,
sway to finally find calm-and he knew he wouldn't find it if he stayed.
He wanted to let go of his wife, but as long as he remained in the places she had been, he couldn't do it. That's
why he planned to move with his daughter to a place where o one knew who he was-somewhere nothing and no
one would remind him of this painful chapter.

Lucius wanted to leave this part of his life behind-in Valentia-and start over somewhere else. He wanted be okay,
for himself and, more importantly, for his daughter. He knew raising a baby alone wouldn't be easy, but not
impossible. He'd already thought through where he wanted to go.
"Moriarty already told you, didn't he?" Lucius asked, guessing what Angela was getting at.
"Yeah... more or less..."
"What do you think?"
"At first, just the thought of it broke my heart, but... if | put myself in your shoes, | guess it's not as crazy as it
sounds. Where do you want to go?"
"Hesperia..."
"Hesperia? What's in Hesperia?" Angela asked, curious.
