"The emotional debt is between her and me, involving you was the biggest mistake."
"When I was unconscious, you found experts to treat me. Why?" Steven lightly tapped on the car window, looking at Jose.
Jose took a drag from his cigarette, exhaled a swirl of smoke, his expression indifferent, and replied softly, "Repaying her debt. Now that you've awakened, Steven, she died at your mother's hands. The Seys Family didn't hold anyone accountable, which counts as repaying what they owe you. From now on, she no longer owes your Cooper Family anything and has no ties to you. From now until forever, she is only involved with me alone."
Jose lifted his leg into the car, adding a sentence to the still silent Steven, "Nicole, whether it's past or present, belongs solely to me."
With that, Jose didn't hesitate any longer, started the car, and drove away from the cemetery.
Steven's gaze returned to the cemetery, becoming very deep. He sighed heavily before leaving.
