Seeing Edward’s silence, Fabian continued, “It is better to endure short pain than to suffer long. Rather than allowing Mom to live daily in the agony wrought by Evelyn’s absence, it would be better to reveal the truth–that Evelyn has passed away.”

Upon hearing this, Edward furrowed his brow and glanced at Fabian. While he too wished to speak candidly, he feared that Quinita would not withstand yet another blow.

The loss of Evelyn had been devastating for Quinita; the day Evelyn died, she had fainted from the depth of her sorrow, enduring illness for months.

Though she eventually improved, each day remained a blur where she was unable to discern whether Evelyn was alive or

gone.

An inexplicable rumor had emerged within the Evans family, suggesting that Evelyn was alive.

Quinita was convinced of its truth, but she wouldn’t bear to learn that the daughter who had returned was not Evelyn but rather the other daughter Quinita had thought was dead for eighteen years.

Edward feared that Quinita might fall gravely ill from the revelation. Thus, he knew he must be faultless in his approach, mitigating any potential harm to her. Still, by hurting this daughter, he felt a sting of anguish gnawing at his conscience.

Fabian said, “Dad, have you considered that perhaps this information was deliberately leaked?”

Edward asked, “What do you mean?”

“Someone has intentionally spread this news with a singular, clear intent: to exploit Mom’s love for Evelyn to inflict pain upon Elysia. Last night, Elysia was attacked–she nearly escaped, and you would have lost your daughter.”
