Chapter 178

Rachel saw Cecilia off and lay on the bed to try to get some rest, but her mind was in chaos.

She got changed to head out for a stroll. If it weren’t for her wound she really wanted to take a shower.

The mere thought of Howard’s hands on her made her stomach churn,

She took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort she felt and headed outdoors. After a couple of twists and turns, she chanced upon a courtyard.

It was covered in well–landscaped greenery, which relaxed her at once. The paths in the garden were paved with stones. There was a swing right in the middle of the clearing, surrounded by beautiful flowers.

She walked closer to the swing and slowly sat down on it, grabbing the rope on both sides. She swing her legs and started swinging back and forth.

She thought about how hard William pushed her, and the disappointment and rage she saw in his eyes.

Over the years, William had never laid a finger on her. He had once made a promise to her–that he would never lay a finger on her no matter what. Pushing her was out of the question.
