“So, you said that you have something important to tell Robert and me. We’re here now, what it is?”
Sarah laughed bitterly.
“I don’t want to ask for your forgiveness as I’m indeed a prideful and selfish person. But I want to ask about Travis. What’s his condition? Is he okay now?”
“His injury is healing, but there’s still poison in his body. I don’t know what Eric did to Travis. The report isn’t out yet. We have to wait until either tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow. I hope that everything is fine with Travis, but the doctor told us because of this, they can’t predict when he’s going to regain consciousness.”
Sarah lowered her head and started crying. She was desolated and looked extremely dreary.
Georgia felt sorry for her, but she couldn’t tell if Sarah was putting up an act. Maybe Sarah was still working with someone else in the dark and was trying to deceit them. Right now, she shouldn’t easily believe everything Sarah said.
To her, Robert’s life and safety was her top priority. Sarah deceived her once and hence Georgia told herself that she shouldn’t feel pity for her.
“It’s all my fault. I was diagnosed with breast cancer not long ago. I thought I was going to die soon and hence I proposed to Travis. I wanted to have him as my husband before I die. It turned out that I didn’t have breast cancer, it was just a benign tumour, but I didn’t tell Travis the truth. Travis agreed to marry me. He said that we should share weal and woe and believe each other. He will be nice to me and will try to fall in love with me.”
“I thought that I have finally achieved my happiness.”
Sarah looked up when she said that. She was crying a river.
Georgia only then understood the reason behind their sudden marriage.
She didn’t say anything. She didn’t know what to say to Sarah. Sarah then started to talk again as if she was mumbling to herself.
“Two days before the wedding, I told Travis the truth, I told him that I lied, that it was a benign tumour. I was afraid that if he found out after the wedding, it would ruin the trust between us very badly. Travis didn’t blame me at all, he even comforted me. He was happy that it was a benign tumour since it was treatable. He was happy for me and didn’t mind that I lied to him before this. He even promised me that he would try to forget about you and start loving me.”
“At that time, I thought that I’m the happiest person alive. I wasn’t afraid even when I got the news that someone would come to mess with my wedding. I wanted to have a perfect wedding. On the second day, some incidents occurred but I handled them smoothly. I thought that I would be the happiest person in the world. But never did I think that Eric was scheming so many things behind my back. His goal wasn’t me. He kidnapped Travis to complete his master plan.”
“Georgia, I don’t want to apologize because it will feel fake. Even if I have another chance to choose between Robert and Travis, I will choose Travis without any hesitation.”
“Do you think that by being honest, I will let you leave or let you go?”
Georgia scoffed. She didn’t like what Sarah was saying, even though she knew that Sarah was telling the truth. Sarah lowered her head and chuckled.
“Georgia, if Eric kidnapped both Robert and Travis, and let you choose one person that he should keep alive, I don’t believe that you would choose Travis. He would be holding a gun against those two and you wouldn’t be able to do anything. Under that circumstances, you will choose Robert. But that’s normal. So, I don’t want to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to tell you that that’s the situation I’m in right now. Eric sent me a video. In the video, he was pressing a knife against Travis and was injecting drugs into him. He was hurting Travis’ body. If I didn’t agree with him, he would stab the knife right into his heart. I didn’t have a choice.”
