Carmen's shoulders trembled as tears dripped down her cheeks.
Violet didn't offer her any comfort. Instead, she turned to look down the alley.
Why wasn't Ivy here yet?
After a moment, Carmen, her voice thick with emotion, said, "When I brought Mom back that day, she told me in the carriage not to trust anything my sister said. I think Mom already knew about everything, but I don't understand why my sister would do that."
Did Carmen finally believe Violet's words?
Violet turned back to her, surprise etched on her face. "Your mom really said that to you? Then, she must know. As for why Celeste did it, your mom also probably knows. You should ask her when you get back."
Just then, Ivy rode into the alley on a donkey.
Violet waved her hand and called out, "Over here, Ivy!"
Ivy spotted them and approached. She was a bit confused as to why they weren't waiting by Lester Estate's entrance.
"Why were you waiting here?"
"They're not living at Lester Estate anymore. They're over there," Violet said. Then, she glanced at Carmen. "Don't act out of impulse. Your mom's condition is serious. Cari specifically told me to ensure she gets treated. You can disregard her good intentions, but don't let your emotions jeopardize your mom's health."
Ivy looked at Carmen, whose eyes were red and swollen. "What happened? Does she not need treatment anymore?"
Carmen quickly wiped away her tears and bowed slightly. "Ma'am, please come with me."
"Alright, you two go ahead. I'll be leaving," Violet replied, her pride flaring.
She didn't want to argue with Carmen any further. She was aware her words could hurt, and she didn't want to subject herself to any unfair treatment either.
Carmen tugged gently at Violet's sleeve. "I'm sorry for how I acted earlier, Ms. Spencer. Please don't be mad. I just... I just can't accept this right now."
Tears streamed down her face again as she spoke, and there was a shattered look in her eyes.

I wish there were more chapters uploaded daily. Atleast 10 per day....
When will the next chapter be uploaded? This story is so awesome!...
I’ve read several novels, but this is the best of the best....
I hope that Rafael will not fall for Carmen. I don’t think I can keep reading if he does. Carissa deserves to have a pure and strong love with Rafael that world stand the test of time and all trials and tribulations....
