Madam Elsa noticed Bell emerging from the room and remarked, "Finally finished," with a touch of humiliation in her voice, but Bell chose to ignore it. He realized it wasn't the time to argue with her, instead, it was time to extend his arm for peace to protect his kid.
"Olivia says she needs to talk to you." He said in his calm voice. Elsa stared at him in shock for a moment. Is he joking? If it's a joke what a horrible joke would it be?
"You are kidding" she whispered in astonishment.
"No, I'm not," Bell said with his face full of hope. Elsa didn't wait even a minute. She rushed to the room immediately. As Bell said she could see Olivia's face on the screen. She covered her face with both hands for a moment. He wasn't lying at all!
"Liv," she whispered, uncovering her face as she walked to the communication system."Yeah, it's me," Olivia whispered in a soft voice full of emotions. Elsa sensed that something had changed after years."It's been six years since you spoke to me with such a soft voice," she said, tears falling from her eyes."I know," Olivia said, her voice almost trembling with emotion. Elsa stared at Olivia before she started to talk like she hadn't seen her for years but the truth was she hadn't seen Olivia without a frowning or complaining on her face for years.
"Olivia let me explain it. I didn't mean to...." Elsa tried to explain but Olivia interrupted.
"Mom please, We are trying to start again, so don't bother me with old chaos again. Just leave it in the past. I don't wanna talk about it, not now" she said with a tired voice. Elsa nodded in agreement.
"ok not now" she said with a tired smile. Olivia nodded with a smile and then gave out a heavy breath.
"Mom, I didn't just call you to forgive you. I want you to fix what you messed up" Olivia said with a firm voice. Elsa stared at her daughter's face.
"I know that face. It's your voyager's face" Elsa whispered realizing something unexpected was going to happen. Olivia faked a tired smile before starting the conversation.
After another hour-long explanation eventually Olivia could make Elsa realizes that she needs to fix this."OK, I'll vote for him and I can make Penny agree to vote for our side but I'm not sure about Kristein. I barely know her." Elsa explained looking at Olivia." You have to try" Olivia replied with a hopeful face."Kristin is an independent person. We can keep hope." Bell said with a face full of hope. Elsa turned her head to look at Bell who was standing behind him." This is so much to keep hope," She said with doubts in her eyes." I do anything for my kid," He said with a firm voice. Elsa looked at his stubborn face and looked back at Olivia. Then she looked at Kalvin who was standing a few steps ahead of Olivia."I'm truly sorry for everything you've been through, Kalvin. I've witnessed Bell rushing you to the hospital during your training, and I've personally provided care for you many times. I know you are nothing like your father. I deeply regret the suffering you've endured because of the council," she expressed with remorse in her voice. Kalvin looked at her after a moment."It's not just me, ma'am. Melvin has also experienced a lot of chaos," he stated with an emotionless voice. Even Bell was taken aback by Kalvin's response. Elsa gazed at him in wonder for a moment but then nodded."Melvin, I apologize to you as well. I never wanted any of this for you," she calmly expressed, filled with regret. Melvin smiled gently and responded, "I understand. It's okay."But Kalvin raised his voice.

"It's easy to say sorry, ma'am. Your sorry doesn't take away any of the things I've suffered. I don't think I'll truly forgive you ever," he said, his voice full of revenge. Bell stared at Kalvin in surprise. He could see that Kalvin wasn't sorry at all for his rude manner. Elsa was left speechless, feeling ashamed and hurt. One more person who could hate her.
"Kalvin, apologize! Is that how you treat a person who is willing to help you?" Bell told his son in a commanding voice. He wasn't expecting this from Kalvin at all, at least not in this kind of situation. Kalvin took a few steps forward and stared at Bell's face on the screen.
"No, I can't," he said without any regrets in his mind at all. Bell was completely shocked by Kalvin's reaction. Kalvin continued talking without caring about the look on Bell's face.
" I'm not sorry at all. She killed my father. She tried to kill me and my sister!" Kalvin said loud ragefully.
"The father who tortured you and your sister when you were kids!" Bell shouted at the screen in anger.
" Do you know sir why Melvin hates me? Because people bullied her for being an orphan" Kalvin said in return but Melvin interrupted.
" I hated you because you were careless all the time. None of these would've ever happened unless you stole Father's darn CD. Doing illegal jobs and your arrogance eventually ended up doing a murder. That was all because of your carelessness. It's your fault!" Melvin screamed in a voice full of pain and anger. Kalvin stared at her with his face full of anger and pain. Bell gave out a heavy breath and raised his voice.
" This has gone too far, that's why we need to fix this. Too many people suffer this chaos. Elsa, I'm sorry for all he said." Elsa stared at Bell and nodded.
"I will go and talk to Penny. I'll send Kane here too, so Melvin can talk, and then let's go meet Kristen," she said, walking to the door without looking at anyone. Bell sensed her hurt. He then noticed Olivia staring at her mom leaving in sorrow on the screen.
"I think I'm done here," Olivia said, leaving the room. Melvin turned around to stop her but eventually said nothing. Bell looked at Kalvin with a mix of disgust and pain.
"For the first time in the last 8 years, I'm ashamed of you," Bell said to Kalvin. Kalvin looked hurt as he turned away, covering his eyes to hide the tears, and walked out of the room.
