Agony shot through Candice, and her face broke out in a cold sweat, her skin ghostly pale.

The pain was so overwhelming that she struggled to breathe or speak. All she could do was gasp for air to lessen the torment.

Completely unaware of Candice’s injury. Yvonne pointed at her, screaming. “How can you be so cruel and ungrateful? You should have addressed him as your father!”

To an outsider, Yvonne’s words made it seem like Candice had done an unforgivable wrong. Overwhelmed with emotion, Yvonne fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
