I clenched my fists and lowered my head.
I never really wanted the child in Cindy's womb to die. To be honest, I was feeling guilty about it. I was a life, but I ended it.
As if Tyler was able to read my mind, he grabbed my hand and said slowly, "You’re not the one who killed the baby."
"I was the one who told you to show her the photo." I was the mastermind behind all this—the real murderer.
Tyler furrowed his brows. He put his hand on my head and turned my head to face him. "Wandy, look into my eyes. Listen clearly to what I’m going to tell you.
"Cindy hurt you. Do you think I'm going to let her get away with it? If it isn’t because you’re too soft-hearted, the child in her womb wouldn't be the only casualty. I wouldn't have used such a gentle method either."
The coldness in his words sent a shiver down my spine.
"So you don’t have to feel guilty." The corners of Tyler's lips lifted. "In fact, Cindy should be glad that you have a kind heart. Otherwise, she would’ve died tragically with the baby in her womb.”
The corner of my lips twitched. "Tyler, you have quite a skewed worldview."
Tyler smiled disdainfully. "What’s the correct worldview, and what's the wrong one? Who will be able to differentiate it all?"
I had no idea what to say. I remained silent until we found a seat in the restaurant.
Tyler sent me back home after lunch.
I realized now that the only reason he showed up was that he found out his number had been blocked on my phone. He did not know why, and he felt uneasy, so he came looking for me. That was all.
Back at the villa, I got changed and went to the living room to watch television.
I suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since Jerome called me. I could not get through to Cecelia’s phone either. I was getting restless and could not stop worrying.
Just then, Theo came back. I walked over to greet him. "I'd like to visit Cecelia in the countryside."
Theo raised his brows. "Have you called her?"
