Chapter 360 Before Death, Words Turn Kind

• “That year, I met him at a friend’s birthday party. We fell for each other at first sight and tumbled into love fast. Blame me—I was too naive, swept away by his sweet talk until I lost myself. After we slept together, he told me he had to leave Baycrest and go back south for a while. He said once he got his parents’ blessing, he’d bring them to my parents’ place and propose.”
• “Who knew he’d be gone two months, and then just vanish. He cut me off completely. I went south to look for him, but Sunnydale is huge—finding him was like fishing a needle out of the ocean. I passed out by the curb, and Rupert Gusman, who was out looking for me, took me to the People’s Hospital. That’s when I found out I was pregnant.”
• “While I was hospitalized to protect the baby, Rupert was gentle and careful with me. He even urged me to have you, said we’d raise you together. I was shattered, out of my mind, so I chose to marry him.”
