### Summary
Following the revelation that the central curse stems from a magical peach tree enchanted by Duke Julian Raenal's jealous mother, the narrative's focus has shifted to the devastating consequences of its magic. The curse dictates that the person most loved by whoever consumes the fruit is destined to die, a fact that retroactively explains not only Leah's hundreds of deaths in Julian's past regressions but also, as readers now theorize, the death of her sister, Bella, during the two lives where Leah did not love her husbands. The current tension revolves around Julian's decision to give Leah a fruit from this cursed tree. Reader commentary reveals intense confusion and speculation regarding his motives, with many expressing empathy for his desperation after witnessing her die over 150 times. A prominent theory suggests Julian may not retain memories from the timelines where Leah married other men, which could explain his seemingly paradoxical actions. While some criticize this as nonsensical, many readers are proposing a solution where both Leah and Julian consume the peach simultaneously in an attempt to nullify or share the curse. Ultimately, with Leah having already eaten the fruit and fallen in love with him, the prevailing fear is that Julian is now fated to die, potentially resetting their tragic cycle once more.
