At last, Wilma understood what I said.

But now, the anger in her eyes burned even brighter than before.
She gave me a cold stare and gritted her teeth as she asked, “Rick, how dare you appear before me? Why should I forgive you?”
Knowing my actions were unforgivable, I bowed my head and begged, “I’m sorry, Wilma. It’s my fault you suffer like this. I don’t ask for your forgiveness. I only plead for you to let go of the hate in your heart.”

Then, I confessed my sins.
“Wilma, after I set you and those witches on fire, I went through hell. In my dreams, you haunted me, seeking revenge. I dreamt my families turned against me, leaving me in despair. I ended my Life because I knew I killed Laurel and our child. I’m the true villain, not the innocent witches.”
I revealed the torment I endured over the years.
“Back then, I manipulated your emotions and deceived you. I killed all the witches out of fear of retaliation. I didn’t trust my own family, fearing Laurel and our child might betray me just as I betrayed you. If it wasn’t for my own issues, your mind control wouldn’t have succeeded.”
With a bitter smile, I said, “God’s fairness is undeniable. I endured the consequences of my wrongs through mental anguish in the end. My wicked thoughts consumed me and led to the death of my wife and child. Still, I couldn’t face the truth or acknowledge my own dark thoughts and weaknesses. Instead, I made more and more mistakes, shifting the blame onto the witches. I not only commanded their deaths but also manipulated historical records and twisted the truth.”
Taking a deep breath, I apologized sincerely. “Wilma, I’m sorry. My cruelty and selfishness caused the witches’ suffering. Even after I died, I came to understand this. That’s why my soul wandered in the forest for many years, unable to move on. I hoped that when I saw my descendants, they’d learn from my errors and treat the witches kindly.
Moreover, I’ve always wished to say sorry personally. But this apology has been put off for far too long.”
As I spoke sincerely, the anger in Gale’s eyes slowly faded. Her voice softened briefly, and she asked, “Rick, are you truly sorry?”
“It’s absolutely true!” I nodded vigorously. “I’ve changed my ways I’m here for you, ready to do whatever it takes for your forgiveness.”

After a brief moment, Gale pulled back her hand from Debra.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be wonderful if Wilma could let go of her anger, forgive the innocent descendants of the Thorn Edge Pack, and forgive herself.
Then, my soul wouldn’t have stayed trapped for so long in the forest.
If the hatred persisted, it would lead to never-ending chaos.
Just when I thought it was all over and began to relax, Wilma burst into sudden, wild laughter.
She yelled, “Rick, don’t think you can fool me! You’re nothing but a liar, just like before. No matter what you say, I won’t believe your lies!”
“Wilma.”
I tried to convince her, but she cut in with bitterness, “I haven’t trusted anyone since you betrayed me. Rick, you’re just selfish and heartless. Don’t try to trick me with your fake words!”
Debra’s POV:
The depth of Rick’s remorse resonated with both Caleb and me.
