Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

The moment those words left Bianca's mouth, everyone was stunned.

The family members Bianca had brought with her were all unaware of the child. Even Riley hadn't known, so she was the most shocked. She almost stumbled back, too stunned to process what she had just heard. Her heart felt like it was shattering. Bianca had also been uncertain at first. But after the incident at Arcane Sanctum, she had sent someone to investigate Viola. They had found a physician who, by chance, had some connections with her husband.

When asked about why Viola's child with the Warrens hadn't survived, the physician shared his theories. One possibility was that she had suffered a miscarriage in the past, which had damaged her ability to carry a child.

Of course, the physician had no idea of the full extent of the situation. He just thought that it was common for women to miscarry. If a miscarriage wasn't properly cared for, it could harm future pregnancies.

Bianca hadn't known whether Viola had ever had a child with Thomas. She had no way of digging into the Farrell family's private matters, and all of her suspicions had been based on conjecture. She just wanted to give Viola a strong warning, telling the latter to stop avoiding the issue and clear things up properly.

The moment she said it, Zoey and Viola had gone pale. With that, Bianca knew her guess was correct.

Viola's body went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground. She didn't realize that Bianca was testing her. She thought the older woman already knew everything.

Riley's tears streamed down. "So I wasn't overthinking or being jealous! You really wanted to see him! Things between you two weren't that simple, and you even had a child together. Your intentions were clear, but he didn't avoid you even when you went crying to him. He should have kept his distance, but he didn't. You two have no shame! You two even blamed me, saying I caused trouble and ruined your reputations!"

Viola felt like she was drowning, overwhelmed with a sense of impending doom-just as she had when she first found out she was pregnant with Silas' child.
