Theo looked at me like he was placed in a really tough spot. I shrugged. "It's fine, you can go be with her
since I understand the pain of losing a baby... as well.”
Right after I said those words, Theo shook his head." The thought of you being alone makes me worried, so I think I'd better go with you-"
"Wanda!” Cindy interrupted him. "I didn't kill your baby! If I did, I'd die a painful death!”
She probably did not believe in karma, that was why she could curse herself without a care in mind.
Cindy saw that I was still indifferent, so she released Theo and came in front of me, where she knelt." Wanda, my mother loves me too much. That's why she did all of that to you, but I had no idea about those things. If I had known, I would've stopped her. Please believe me, okay?"
Petra came over and knelt before me as well. "Wanda, what Cindy said is true. Everything was my idea and I did those things alone. One has to pay for the wrongdoings committed. It's just that I didn't expect Cindy would be the one to face the consequences of m y actions. You've taken the life of Cindy's baby as you wished, so let's call it even, okay?"
The commotion caused by this pair of mother and daughter naturally attracted the attention of many people. As soon as Petra was done talking, the crowd around us started talking between themselves.
I laughed coldly in my heart. What a cheap rendition o f an emotional scene. What did they want to achieve from this?
Was it merely to force me to forgive them in front of Theo?
That was meaningless.
People around us started advising me to forgive them, that forgiveness was a virtue. After a few moments of listening to the chaos around me, I could no longer hold myself back. "If you don’t know the entire story, don’t advise others on the course of action that they're supposed to take. Do all of you know how painfully my baby died from their cruelty? Aren't you afraid that m y baby will hear you and pay you a visit at night?"
