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

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.

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