“Alright, then.”
When I snapped back to reality, I clasped my hands together.
With all my heart, I wished, “My first wish is for my son’s swift recovery. May the ailing children of the Thorn Edge Pack find health and relief from their cruel afflictions. My second wish is for our family to remain united and Live happily forever. My third wish is…”

I paused, turning my gaze to my father.
Maybe he feared my reaction to his presence and wished to take part in my birthday celebration from the shadows of the ward. If I hadn’t looked carefully, I wouldn’t have noticed him lurking in the corner.
With measured steps, I approached him.
Beneath the candlelight’s gentle glow, I saw my father clutching a bouquet of pristine white blossoms. The petals cascaded gracefully, exuding a delicate and sweet fragrance.
These were my mother’s beloved camellias.
I took a deep breath, met my father’s gaze, and whispered, “My third wish is simple, Dad. I want to know where Mom is and whether she’s alive or not. I just want to see her again.”
His hands trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.
His voice cracked as he said, “Debra, I’ll wait for the day you and your mother can forgive me. I’ll stay in the Silver Ridge Pack and wait for the two of you for the rest of my life.”
I wrapped my arms around him, saying nothing.
The weight of years of resentment seemed to lift in that moment.
For so long, I had carried that grudge, tormenting myself day and night. Hatred had imprisoned me as much as it did my heart. My heart would have been free and happy, but it seemed to be locked in a dark dungeon.
But now, as I released that resentment, I felt a newfound sense of peace.
Love and hate, I realized, were worlds apart.

I smiled sincerely. This marked the best birthday I’d had in the past five years.
But even after the joy, the next challenge loomed ahead.
Just three days later, my father bid farewell to the Thorn Edge Pack.
I understood that there would be a lot of problems for him to handle after ending his partnership with the Barton family. So, I didn’t try to stop him and instead led a group of people to see him off.
The members of the construction team that my father had brought from the Silver Ridge Pack were also there.
Before departing, my father told them solemnly, “Debra is my daughter, and I expect your loyalty to her. When I return, your families in the Silver Ridge Pack will receive the highest level of care. After you finish constructing the Roz District, you can return to the pack and enjoy a comfortable life.”
My father rarely made such generous promises, which left everyone in the construction team surprised and exhilarated.
