Kaylee:
Days were passing, and I had returned home. Graham was not by my side when they brought me back. He had simply turned his face away from me. I tried many times to get his attention, but each time I met failure.
Now it was as if neither sleep came nor death. The moment I began to drift off, Baxter’s face appeared before me, and with him, I saw my three children.
I was beginning to understand that that night I had not sacrificed only Baxter but myself. I had put my three children and all my happiness at stake as well.
“Kaylee, come outside and eat with everyone. How long will you sit alone like this?” Penny called gently, knocking on the door.
The door was already open, but Penny had to act as if she were a very decent and kind person.
I only lifted my eyes to look at her, and my gaze fell on her stomach. How wrong it was, wasn’t it?
She had taken a husband from another woman, and that woman had fallen so deep into stress that she became ill and died. Yet today she had her twins, and I did not have my triplets.
Why? Why was she granted forgiveness and not me?
“What happened?” Penny asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“Is Graham sitting outside too?” I asked, and she gave a faint nod, offering me a very sad look.
There was no sorrow for me. I knew her heart must be full of happiness seeing me in so much pain. I knew she must be enjoying this.
Very slowly, I tried to rise from my bed. Penny hurried over to help me. But when I took her hand, I made sure to press it hard enough to cause her pain.
“Ouch, ouch,” she murmured, wincing with a smile, yet she did not pull her hand away.
“Kaylee, how are you feeling now?” Penny asked, shaking her hands slightly. I knew I had pressed hard enough that her fingers must have turned red.
“I’m fine. I’m perfectly fine now,” I lied, looking at her.
“That’s good. We just want you to return to life again,” she replied with a smile.
Honestly, anger began to rise inside me. Did she think losing a child was so easy? That after losing a child, a person could simply return to normal?
Swallowing my anger, I walked out of the room. When I saw Graham sitting and eating with his father, tears began to appear in my eyes. As soon as I sat beside him, I noticed his body tense up.
“What’s done is done. Now you all need to make sure Kaylee focuses on her life and her health,” Lord Eldon suggested.
I was only looking at Graham, but he did not utter a single word. He was busy eating. Even in our room, he slept on the couch. He had not spoken a word to me, not once telling me he sympathized with my grief.
“Yes, you’re right,” Graham finally responded.
A small smile appeared on my face.
