Chapter 27 - THE LEGACY OF SARAH
Sarah passed away peacefully in her sleep that very night, holding Clara’s hand as the snow fell over Paris.
Clara and Ethan arranged a quiet funeral at a historic chapel in Père Lachaise Cemetery, surrounded by white lilies.
On a cold winter morning, Clara stood before her mother's marble headstone, placing a single white rose on the fresh stone.
"Rest in peace, Mom... your sacrifice was not in vain," Clara murmured softly, wrapped in her warm woolen coat.
Ethan stood beside her, holding a black umbrella over her head against the light snowfall.
"We have one more stop to make before we return to New York, don't we?" Ethan asked quietly.
Clara nodded, pulling the small steel key from her coat pocket and looking at the engraved numbers.
"The Banque de France," Clara stated, her eyes clear and filled with renewed, tactical determination.
