Chapter 309 309: W-who did it to her?

"Everything. I want to know everything, Aunt Ruby," Ella almost implored, despite a sense of dread washing over her sane heart.

Ruby knew something, which is why she asked her mother's forgiveness.

Yes, the meeting did not slip her mind because Ruby's words were etched in her memory. She apologized to her mother for something she regretted, but Mischelle never responded.

Ruby, on the other hand, felt her soul escape her body. She sat numb, recalling the episode that ended her friendship with Michelle. Once buddies had become complete strangers, and it was all her fault.

It's been years, yet she has never gone a day without being haunted by those nightmares. She made an awful mistake by putting her sole companion in the hands of the predator who stole away her innocence.

Yes, her selfishness drove her to take the plunge and discover the consequences of her betrayal. She lost her spouse in a car accident, and her older kid was crippled. She survived on a modest flower business, but she had no idea how long she would be there because the government was renovating it, clearing all the local shops.

She knew far too late that it was all her karma. She took advantage of Michelle's generosity, which was improper, and now she was facing the consequences.

She was born as a result of rape. Her mother had been abused.

Those words echoed in her thoughts like a broken record. She was so ashamed of herself that she wanted to leave and hide somewhere where she wouldn't be able to hear anything.
