Chapter 20 

Zoey’s Nyara Republic Diaries ended its online run, moving countless readers to tears with Joseph’s tragic ending. Many made pilgrimages to his grave to pay their respects. Even his parents, who had once disowned him, appeared in the media praising his kindness and selflessness. However, netizens quickly exposed their past cruelty, igniting public outrage. Anonymous funeral wreaths began piling up in their hallways until finally, they fled in the 

dead of night, vanishing without a trace. 

Joseph was posthumously awarded the Nansen Refugee Award by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, honoring his exceptional dedication to protecting and aiding refugees. Though he was gone, his spirit and work continued to inspire countless others. 

Jackson didn’t join Médecins Sans Frontières; instead, he purchased the flower shop beside the cemetery. Zoey’s words that day had stirred memories of his childhood, playing in the yard with his brother, making mud pies. His brother had asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, and Jackson had dreamed of owning a grand flower shop–a memory lost to time. Each year, no matter how demanding her schedule, Zoey would visit the cemetery to honor her mother and Joseph. It was her only chance to connect with them. The rest of her time was spent traversing conflict zones across the Celestial Sea region and Eastern territories, while Jackson quietly counted the days until their paths ight cross again. 

Sara’s social world imploded. Former friends cut ties, seeing her as a manipulative liar. With nowhere else to turn, she sought out Jackson, only to discover his heart had long belonged to Zoey. The false reality she’d constructed crumbled, leaving her a tragic figure of 

her own making. 

Two years later, Zoey’s half–sister succumbed to her illness. Her stepmother, who had reclaimed her daughter, now found herself childless. Zoey’s father, Harry, was alone once more, his family fractured beyond repair. This time, he had no daughter by his side, and 

shortly after, he too passed away. 

Zoey continued supporting the children she’d saved. Ray and Mary achieved their dreams, becoming a journalist and a doctor respectively. Years later, when Zoey received the United Nations Contribution Award, she declared in her acceptance speech, “If we cannot stop war, we must do everything in our power to save those who still have a chance at life.”
