After a few days after that tragic incident, Mary is allowed to rest in her home, she was so excited to see her children but at the same time, she is nervous to reveal to them that she has cancer.

Mary kept talking about how she wanted to see them so badly after being in the hospital for a couple of days while Arthur said nothing.

Maybe because he is concentrating in driving?

Mary even asked him about why the triplets and Catherine haven't visited her, yet he didn't say anything.

As they reached home, Mary quickly walks to the house, excited to see her children, despite being weak, she tries to move fast just to see them.

She entered the house and starts yelling for their names but only Catherine showed up and ran to her, giving her a big hug.

Mary squeezed Catherine into the hug and noticed that Catherine is sniffling, "Darling, did you really miss me this bad?"

Catherine didn't respond and continued hugging her.

Mary called out the triplet's names but they aren't responding, "GENEVIEVE! ALICE! ELISA! MOMMY IS HERE!"

Still, no response.

Mary turns her head to Arthur, "Are they in school? I thought it's summer"

But she noticed that huge dark eyebags on him, he noticed that he lost so much weight and his eyes were bloodshot red, he looks like he just came out from jail after being tortured.

"Are you okay? Where are they?"

There are no radios and TV in the hospital she's in.

"Arthur!" Mary slowly lets go of Catherine, "Catherine... Why are you crying?"

"Mama..." She starts to sob.

"Why? What happened?" She turns to Arthur again, "Arthur! What is going on?!"

"M...Mary..."

"Arthur!"

"Our triplets are gone" Arthur broke into tears, but he left Mary clueless.

"What do you mean? Where did they go?"

"Mama... They are dead"

"Huh?!"

"Mary... Remember that we are targetted by the killers?"

Mary then slowly realized what happened, "No... They did not kill them... They did not right?... Arthur?!" Tears formed into Mary's tears, "They aren't killed by them right?"

"Mary, they are brutally killed and Catherine hid inside the cabinet"

Mary broke down into tears, her mouth was loudly opened as she cries out her heart upon hearing the deaths of her 3 daughters, "NO!"

Arthur even showed the photos of her daughters, and it was way worse that she thought, they aren't just killed, they were treated like toys and mocked them, tortured them to death.

Mary was terribly shaking as she saw the photos of how they look like, the children she formed for 9 months just broke into pieces by a group of unknown people in just a day.

Mary threw the photos and went wild, she threw the table, the chairs, the couches, she went it all and begged for justice, she couldn't control herself anymore, she was more than frustrated, she is willing to destroy the world in exchange for her daughters' lives.

Arthur grabs Mary into his arms to stop her from hurting herself, they both broke into heavy tears as Catherine watched them at the side, she was also crying.

"BRING ME MY DAUGHTERS BACK!" She screamed at the top of her lungs that veins popped out visibly on her neck.

None of the triplet even know that she has cancer.

She lost the ones she loved way too much, she lost hope in living.

"WHERE ARE THEY?! PLEASE BRING ME BACK MY DAUGHTERS!" Mary grabbed the vase and smashed it on the ground, "BRING ME BACK MY DAUGHTERS!"

"MARY! PLEASE!"

"I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE!"

"PLEASE!"

"I WANT TO SEE THEM! WHERE ARE THEY?!",

"MARY, THEY ARE GOING TO BE CREMATED"

Mary turns to her husband, and she proceeds in beating him up, "NO! NO! DON'T CREMATE THEM! WHO SAID YOU CAN DECIDE ON YOUR OWN!" She slapped him numerous times harshly until his whole body becomes red.

"YOU ARE NOT A SINGLE FATHER, ARTHUR! I AM THEIR MOTHER! WHY DID YOU LET THEM BE CREMATED?! WHERE ARE THEIR ASHES?! WHERE?? I HATE YOU ARTHUR, YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED NOT THEM!"

Catherine immediately ran and sat under the stairs, the trauma of fighting parents appeared on her mind and she had a silent break down.

The news was on again and it was another murder case, the 2 stopped fighting and decided to listen to it.

"A 17-year-old boy found dead as he was found hanging on the tree" It was uncensored, and it was George.

Arthur turns his head to Mary who screamed her heart out.

They realized what he has done.

The weapons that were used are the tools of their house, only the whole family knows where was it placed.

And George is one of them, and George expressed how much he hated all of his siblings.

The letter and the gift...

The drawings similar to the ones in real life...

And he mentioned that he will kill them.

And he will hung himself on a tree, he said it would he their fault.

Why are the real ones similar to his drawings? Because he had planned what will happen...

The weapons used are placed in the basement, only the whole family knows where was it placed, and George might have used them.

And he killed his siblings just like what he always mentioned, it was out of jealousy, and he hung himself on the tree, maybe he could escape of being blamed.

He mentioned that the parents are the ones to be blamed.

If it weren't for their favoritism for the girls, he wouldn't feel jealou and kill them.
