### Summary
Reader frustration with Lihen reaches a boiling point as she remains trapped between her grief-fueled desire to reunite with her daughter and the happiness she's found with Schdermel. While some readers continue to empathize with the powerful, irrational pull of a mother's love, many are furious at her for knowingly leading Schdermel on, only to break his heart. The debate is violently interrupted by a shocking new development: Penny has been found brutally attacked. This immediately sparks rampant speculation among readers that Penny is Harold's secret lover, and that this attack was orchestrated to remove her from the picture. Lihen's tragic indecision is no longer a private struggle, as its consequences now seem to be written in blood, forcing her to face a reality far more complicated than the one she seeks to recreate.
