From what Silvia says, we can see that she's pregnant with Lawrence's child.
But what happens to them?
Why does Silvia say that she has killed Lawrence?
Is it the same as what happened between Frances and me?
At that time, I just discovered that I was pregnant with Frances’ child after I went to prison.
But I was forced to harm Frances back then.
What about Silvia?
Why does she do this?
I say nothing but wait quietly for Silvia to continue.
I'm very curious about what happened between her and Lawrence over the past year.
Why does she kill Lawrence?
"All this time, Lawrence only cares about Whitney. I don't know what I am to him. Clearly, he doesn't love me. But he comes for me again and again. Doesn't he treat me as a free sexual partner? I've never been so humble. For a man, I give up anything. I thought I could keep Lawrence if I'm pregnant by him. But how stupid I am! He actually asked me to get an abortion. I valued this baby. I'll do anything to keep him safe. So, I picked up the fruit knife and stabbed it into Lawrence's heart in panic. I didn't mean it. But what else should I do? Sister-in-law, you can tell me."
She looks at me helplessly.
I don't know how to reply, so I look at Frances for help.
Frances walks over and helps Silvia, who was sitting on the ground, up. Then he says indifferently, "Where is Lawrence's body now? Where did you stab him? Hurry up! Let’s clean up the crime scene before the police get there."
Is Frances trying to shield Silvia from the law?
But is it feasible?
I'm scared.
Nevertheless, I also don't want Silvia to go to jail.
