Megan was confused by Selena’s words. “Guilty? Why’d you say so?”
“There is something I didn’t want to tell you, but after seeing your apology, I think it’s necessary for me to reveal it, or else you won’t know what really happened to you for the rest of your life.” Selena looked at Megan and explained, “I believe you still remember the time we fell out at the hospital, right? Not long after that, you fell from the stairs and had a miscarriage.”
Upon hearing that, Megan’s expression darkened as she would never forget that darkest moment of her life. After all, she was deeply disappointed about her miscarriage just when she thought she could finally have a child with Finneas, not to mention the fact that she almost died because of that. “I’d prefer not to talk about that.”
“Me neither, but I must say that you probably still hate me every time you think about that because you reckon I was the one who caused your miscarriage.” Selena then pointed at the family photo hanging on the wall and said, “I have kids too, so I know what it’s like to be a mother. Furthermore, when I thought my sons were dead back then, do you think I’d kill someone else’s child?” She bitterly smiled and added, “Well, you might say that I took your child’s life in a fit of rage to make you feel my pain, but if that’s the case, I don’t know what else I could say.”
Megan let out a sigh and said, “Well, maybe that was karma trying to punish me for what I’d done. I could only accept it.”
Selena shook her head. “Karma? What if I told you it was orchestrated by someone else?”
Megan tilted her head and stared at Selena in surprise. “I was tripped by someone, but it was too crowded back then, so I couldn’t really identify the culprit from the security footage. Nonetheless, Meredith was the closest to me!” She was then seen with her eyes widened. “No! That can’t be!”
