Chapter 10

Outside the window, the wind howled. Yvette's pale, slender hand rested on her abdomen. Her gaze was vacant.

Claude had just told her that the doctor had discovered she was pregnant.

Yvette felt sullen; she had conceived the baby at a bad time.

Viola studied Yvette's gaze, which was hollow and devoid of any will to live. She made a tough decision right then and there. "Yvette."

It took a while for Yvette to come to her senses. She turned her head toward Viola and responded, "Yes, Viola?"

With reddened eyes, Viola gently brushed the stray hairs away from Yvette's temples with her hand, which was marked with signs of aging.

"Yvette, I don't have children and have always treated you as my own daughter. I wish, above all else, for you to have a healthy life. Being wealthy and affluent isn't really that important.

"How can I live on if my only daughter yearns for death?"

Yvette's eyes widened at the sight of Viola grabbing a fruit knife.

"I took care of you until you were ten years old, and then! couldn't be with you anymore. This is all my fault. I'll atone for my mistake to Mr. Snyder now!" Viola exclaimed and began to cut her wrist with the knife.
