Marry was locked inside and she had lost her freedom. She was a mess; her hands were in shackles, and outside, there was another iron-fenced door that locked her in securely.
Grace stood outside while Marry stayed inside.
Separated by the door, Marry stared at Grace through the gaps between the iron bars.
Grace appeared to be oddly calm.
After releasing her suppressed emotions through crying, she felt that she could restrain her anger as of now.
After all, Ernest was still in good health.
She was content with that.
She just needed to have a DNA test done to ensure that she was definitely the one who had given birth to him.
"Grace, y-you..." Marry saw Grace's expression and felt anxious all of a sudden. "I admit that I was wrong."
However, Grace merely looked at Marry with a cold gaze. If looks could kill, Marry would die then and there. She stared at Grace helplessly, waiting for her to speak.
Mary noticed that she didn't have any intention to talk, and that her expression was dark.
All of a sudden, Marry felt deflated.
She should have known earlier that after she spilled everything, Grace's hatred towards her would only grow deeper. Grace must've wished to end her right then and there.
Marry suddenly felt helpless.
Her face sank, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, Grace. I've wronged you. I'm sorry."
"Apologizing to a dead person after you kill them, do you think there's any use to that?" Grace replied coldly. Her fingers were curled up into fists as she continued to suppress the anger within her.
Marry didn't deserve her emotions. Marry was ruthless and she was cruel to the point where she was willing to hurt an infant.
"Grace." Marry grew even more anxious when she heard Grace's tone.
However, now, she couldn't turn back and undo what she had done. She could only look at her younger sister in despair.
"1-1 know that I have done something that no human should have ever done," Marry started.
"Yes, you're indeed a monster," Grace cut her off. "You're worse than a monster."
Marry paused and she paled as she lowered her eyes without retaliation.
After a long pause, she said quietly, "Humans are all selfish, Grace. I had to think about my own future. I was scared of losing Simon."
"You hid that note on purpose early that morning, didn't you?" Grace questioned.
"N- note?" Marry was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"
"The note that I brought back from the tent with a phone number written on it, and Hart Villa District's address. You should know," Grace reminded her with a growl.
The astonishment in Marry's eyes immediately evaporated into guilt.
She pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes, I took it away.
