Chapter 32 The Right Thing
- All of Julia’s test results came back normal. That was enough to relieve Jillian. If her sister had ended up in critical condition again, she wasn’t sure she could bear the weight of guilt—no matter how many times Sake insisted that none of it was her fault.
- It was already morning when they left the hospital. Valeria and Victoria had arrived not long after. And of course, their mother wouldn’t just let what happened to her favorite daughter slide. Valeria blamed Jillian, cursed her out—even in front of Sake. He defended her without being asked, taking full responsibility for what happened to Julia.
- Sake admitted that he broke up with Julia earlier that night. He apologized to Valeria and told her honestly that he could no longer love her daughter. Then, without a word, he reached for Jillian’s hand and they left the hospital together.
