Chapter 943
Her voice was barely a whisper, and the hand she reached out was shaking
She, in this state, was a far cry from the woman who was just wielding a knife to rip out hearts. It was as if she was struggling in her final moments
Robin and Katharine, looking at Wendy in this condition, exchanged glances. They weren’t sure if she was putting on an act or if she was really on the verge of death.
Katharine, who always believed in her mother even when she was hurt by her, held her trembling hand while clutching her own wound
“Mom, I don’t wish for you to die, but I’m sorry I couldn’t find a suitable donor for you…”
Hearing her daughter’s words, tears welled up in Wendy’s eyes
“Katharine, my child. I’m the one who should apologize to you”
Her apology brought some relief to Katharine She shook her head, “I won’t blame you”
Wendy blinked as if to say thank you, for allowing her to find some redemption in her last moments.
She shifted her gaze to Robin. “My son..
Seeing Wendy extend her other hand, Robin hesitated for a moment before reaching out to her.
“Seems like I won’t be able to wait for your donor…”
Robin held her hand, gripping it subconsciously. “Mom, I’ll call the doctor.”
Wendy held his hand tightly, using all her strength. “No need.”
Facing death, Wendy realized it wasn’t as terrifying as she thought. It was as if fate was forcing her to confess something.
She held her children’s hands gently, hesitated for a while, then told them everything she had done to Vanya Pine
***
“Evelyn Ziegler was a close friend of Vanya’s. I was consumed by jealousy and intentionally drove a wedge between them. I even persuaded her to cause harm to Vanya’s face. The woman your father intended to marry was Vanya. I interfered, employed manipulative tactics, and convinced your father to abandon Vanya, choosing to marry me instead. All of it… was my doing..
Robin and Katharine were struck with shock. They had always believed their mother to be pure and innocent, unaware of the darkness lurking beneath her gentle exterior.
They stared at Wendy in disbelief as she unveiled a twisted smile. “Confessing… feels liberating…”
After she finished speaking, she tasted blood in her mouth.
The rusty taste spread, making her scared. She held Robin and Katharine’s hands tighter.
“You two, take care, and…”
Wendy looked at her child, whom she had desperately given birth to, with great reluctance.
“I’m sorry…
She was sorry for the hurtful words she said to her children, causing their disappointment, in the final moments of her life.
Her vision began to blur until she couldn’t see their faces anymore.
As she closed my eyes, for a brief moment, she turned my head and seemed to catch a glimpse of Vanya’s figure at the doorway
She smiled, knowing that everything she had done in life would be judged even after death, and she deserved it.
It was only when they heard the sound of dripping that Robin and Katharine realized their mother had passed away.
Katharine threw herself onto Wendy, crying in pain.
Robin anxiously pressed the call button.
Upon hearing the sound, doctors and nurses rushed over.
A group of people surrounded Wendy

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
