If you caused harm to someone and then apologized without mentioning the blood money or its amount, and they forgave you and absolved you of what you did, does the blood money still apply, or is it waived?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
If the victim forgave you willingly, that is sufficient whether they were aware of the blood money or not, unless you know that their consent would not have been granted had they known about the blood money.
May you be successful in all good.
