Hearing Daphne's direct question, everyone looked at her, and was surprised that she had asked Arthur, who was in pain. Arthur looked up at Daphne and saw a clear faith in her eyes.

Before Arthur could answer, Daphne looked at him straight in the eye and continued, "I believe in Lucia, and I never doubt her."

"Daphne..." Eduard said awkwardly. He knew what Lucia meant to her, but that didn't mean faith could hide the truth.

Daphne knew why Eduard wanted to keep her from talking, but she didn't want to keep it to herself and said,

"I don't know why Lucia would do such heartless things to you, but I believe that she didn't do it out of her true intention. Maybe I've never had love before, but I know what it should be like. That's what you and Lucia look like when you're together. As long as you're together, your eyes will always chase after each other. When you get close to each other, you'll always give off a warm light that makes one want to smile. It's impossible to fake it. There may be really good actors in the world, but that's only under the camera's light. The warmth between you and Lucia exists all the time."

What Daphne said surprised everyone. They didn't expect that the one who could see the relationship best was the most innocent young girl.

Yes, they had loved each other. They should know love come from the heart and can not be pretended, also can not be stopped.

Arthur savoured Daphne's words, and his dark eyes slowly brightened.

In the eyes of others, they looked so beautiful when they were together.

Kane was probably the most impressed by what Daphne had to say. When he first fell in love with Julia, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Even when Poppy tried to stop him, he couldn't stop looking at her. "Arthur, Daphne is right. We should trust Lucia, even if the facts are against her," said Kane.

Juliana thought for a moment and then agreed, "Yes, Arthur, it doesn't make any sense that Lucia is kind enough to forgive Poppy and me for what we did, but she is still angry with you who didn't know anything then."

Eduard also spoke up,

"Arthur, perhaps Lucia is suffering as much as you are."

A person's character was always revealed in the details of his or her life. Lucia had already infected everyone around her with her charm. Even if she had done something to hurt Arthur, but her friends were still willing to believe her.

Arthur was pleased for Lucia. He turned to Daphne and told her,

"Everything I'm doing right now is to prove that Lucia was blackmailed by Spencer. Although I have a lot of doubts, I'm doing all of this because I believe that Lucia still loves me. Daphne, thank you for asking me this question so that I can be clear about my feelings. I believe in Lucia."

Daphne nodded excitedly at Arthur's approval of her, and said, "Arthur, you must hold on to this belief. Lucia has suffered as much as you have suffered under the blackmail. If you give up, she will never be able to get out of this predicament."

"I won't give up." Arthur smiled, not just with a bitter smile, but with infinite hope, to all the people present.

That night, Arthur and the others discussed about it at 2:00 in the morning. They were all talking about solutions for Lucia, not Arthur, but for Lucia, to be able to save her from her predicament. Although a concrete plan was not discussed in the end, Arthur's heart had quietly changed.

Love was based on trust. He loved Lucia, will believe in her, and will protect her.

Lucia, who was thousands of miles away, had no idea that her best friends and favorite man were working so hard for her. She was busy taking care of Theodore, learned about nursing from doctors, and kept herself busy. As long as she was idle, Arthur will appear in her mind, so now Lucia was most afraid of late at night. That was when she missed Arthur most. owns this text.

In these trying times, Lucia hoped that time would pass quickly, that Theodore would be released from the hospital, and that time would slow down, and that she wouldn't have to deal with Spencer's setup. But no matter what Lucia thought, time passed at a steady pace. Ten days later, Dr. Clarke's notice of discharge was a resounding victory for Theodore.

On the day Theodore was discharged from the hospital, everyone from Brown family came to pick up Theodore who was so happy that he was bouncing around. His happy look made everyone who was already happy smile continuously.

That afternoon, Theodore returned to Browns Manor, accompanied by the six professional nurses Esmae had arranged for him. She had done everything she could to protect Theodore, and Lucia was both grateful and afraid that Esmae was trying so hard. Esmae's kindness to her and her son had at some point become a psychological default.

Back at the manor that afternoon, after Theodore's nap, Esmae came into the room to talk to Lucia about her plans for the future.

Esmae meant that Lucia would return to the country in two days and marry Spencer as soon as possible. She would be there to officiate the wedding herself, and when she heard this, she gasped, "Esmae, what's the hurry?"

Arthur had asked this once before. That flooding bitterness in the heart was exactly the same.

Lucia, who tormented Arthur, was also tormenting herself.

"Lucia, are you still thinking about Arthur?" Esmae asked unhappily as soon as she sensed Lucia's hesitation. She thought that Lucia had suppressed her feelings after all this time.

"Yes, why not?" The more she confronted Esmae, the less Lucia could conceal her feelings for Arthur, and the less she needed to,

"I think about him every day and night. I think about what he's doing right now, who he's meeting right now, what he's saying right now. I think about him... whether he's also thinking about me..." "Lucia!" Realizing that Lucia had purposely shown her that she missed Arthur, Esmae flew into a rage and shouted,

"What do you have to do is to give up on Arthur! What do you have to do is to understand what I'm trying to do. He's not worth it, you know?!"
