"And that is all she said?" Byron asked, and I nodded, recalling Yvonne's words.
"She did speak after that. Although she is doing much better, those words still haunt me," I told him, placing my files and the empty bottles into my bag.
We had come back to Byron's pack to take care of the sick children.
I told him about Yuvonne’s confession the other day and he seemed to wonder the same, that something fishy happened.
"So basically, she is saying she had an affair, correct? Or maybe a one night stand?" he asked, and I nodded.
"Seems like that," I replied.
Byron cleared his throat and looked around uncomfortably.
His discomfort made me realize that whatever was in his heart was stopping before it reached his lips, or perhaps he was holding himself back, afraid he might say something that would hurt me.
"Okay, what is it? Do you have any idea what might have happened?" I asked, snapping my fingers in front of his face because I wanted every possible suggestion and opinion to crack this case.
"What I am about to say might sound a little strange to you," he uttered, one hand on his waist while the other scratched the back of his neck.
The people in Byron's pack were very sweet.
Out of all the packs I had visited so far, the people in Byron's pack were different. They were welcoming.
As soon as I arrived there, they started talking to me.
They brought me small gifts from their sides.
The interesting thing was that they were not expensive items. They were meaningful. One gave me a flower from her garden, other gave me fruits from their own trees.
The mothers whose children I treated with medicine were also different with me.
Even before the medicine worked, they would hold my hand and say that even if it failed, they would still appreciate my effort.
This pack was full of nice people.
But I had started to feel as if this pack also hid many secrets.
It was as if their past was dark, which was why the pack functioned so quietly and stayed isolated from others.
"You look hungry," Byron said suddenly, changing the topic.
"No, you said you were going to say something, so tell me. I am ready for it," I responded more sternly to make it clear that he could not divert my attention.
"Fine," he muttered.
"Listen, ever since Yuvonne has been confined to the mansion and has not been allowed to leave, there have not been many people who came to see her."
As he began to speak, the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
"I mean, she cannot leave to sleep with someone. So someone who came into the mansion might have had a one night stand with her."
"I mean, you would know better what she is capable of and what she is not. But the only thing that has come forward is that if there is anyone who had even the slightest interaction with her, or anyone we would suspect, then it would be..."
Byron spoke those words with his eyes lowered, as if embarrassed to discuss it.
"Maybe he showed her false dreams, gave her hope, and that is why she hated him so much afterward."
Byron began forming his own scenarios while I wondered, what if the child was Graham's?
But that could not be.
It would have taken time for the pregnancy to show, and from what I could tell, she was not that far along.
So did that mean she cheated on Ron right after their marriage?
My mind felt completely numb at that moment, but I still needed answers.
To understand Yuvonne's condition, I had to uncover the truth.
"Okay, anyway, did you speak with any lawyer who could help us with Ron's case?" I asked, changing the subject.
Byron nodded.
"Yes, one of my lawyers. The best lawyer in my pack is ready to take care of this case," he stated.
I smiled with relief because I no longer trusted anyone else.
