Chapter 125

• Ella's POV
• As I held Evelyn tightly in my arms, I couldn't help but think about how close I had come to losing her. I looked up at Marcel, my eyes welling up with tears. "I thought I would never see you guys again," I said, my voice shaking with emotion. "But you saved our daughter, just like you promised."
• I felt a pang of guilt and helplessness. "I felt so helpless just staying here without looking for our daughter," I admitted. "I wished I could have helped more."
