It made him sick.
His words were unbearably hurtful.
Elinor laughed.
She laughed as she shed tears and closed her eyes.
She understood.
It turned out that her softness and endurance were her original sins.
In Victor's eyes, she should have been hysterical and crazy. She should have broken down and been driven to the brink of collapse by all the sins she was bearing. Her silent resilience became her fault, as if she was resisting Victor's indiscriminate venting. He seemed to take her silence as the way she tried to demonstrate her resignation and disapproval... So then, everything she did was wrong.
What could be more ridiculous than that?
Elinor remembered a quote she had seen somewhere.
"Because he doesn't love you. That's why you will never make it right."
She was wrong to bear it, wrong to swallow it, wrong to endure it, and even more wrong to please Victor in order to atone for her sins.
She was the daughter of a criminal. How dare she have a feeling for Young Master Donald?
Elinor did not know what to do. Because whatever she did, Victor would think of her as a sinful bitch.
So, she could only close her eyes and run away from everything.
If even accepting Victor's anger was her fault, perhaps the only way left to get Victor's forgiveness was to make her disappear.
Elinor gritted her teeth so hard. Seeing her scared look, Victor sneered, "Are you scared? Would you be afraid? When you dream in the middle of the night, do you dream about our old times?"
Elinor opened her red eyes and choked up, "What do I have to do so that you will forgive me?"
