Chapter 336 336: Meeting Jedrick

Erna couldn't sleep, so she decided to walk around her garden to clear her head. The weight of the shame she felt from lying to Jonathan was keeping her from being at rest.

He plainly voiced his concerns, yet she chose to go against him. How was she going to handle the truth once it was revealed?

Erna has always relied on Jonathan. He was the one person she turned to when things went wrong. As a friend or lover, he was the only one who could calm the storm within her, and, despite knowing all, she chose to lie.

Erna's head was in turmoil, and her heart felt uneasy. She had already chosen to follow the doctor's advice, and she was going to her first session tomorrow.

Sherlyn explained that she needed to test her to see if she was ready for the psychological examination, and she readily agreed.

Erna was desperate to learn what had happened to her, and hypnosis was the only way for her to recall the forgotten details.

As she continued to walk, her mind wandered, and instead of calming down, the guilt of concealing such a large secret from her husband grew stronger in her heart.

"Mom, what are you doing outside?" A familiar voice jolted Erna out of her thoughts as she turned to face her daughter.

Eveline raced to her mother, frightened since she hadn't expected Erna to wander into the garden.

Erna amusedly glanced at the retreating automobile before returning her gaze to her daughter.

"Gabriel didn't come with you?" she inquired, dismissing Eveline's alarm.

Eveline stood in front of Erna and grasped her hand. They were cold.

"No, he isn't," she said, quickly rubbing her mother's hand.

"You're cold, Mom," Eveline remarked, continuing to touch Enra's palm.

Erna looked at her daughter with confusion, but then a smile formed on her lips.

"They aren't that cold, and I wasn't out here for long," Erna said as she tried to tear her hand away from Eveline's grip and weakly smiled.
