104. Her Retribution

Thin snowflakes fell slowly to the earth, complementing the cold air around the garden, perfecting the icy situation that lay between Clara and Lea. The two young women stared at each other with mixed feelings. Their chests were tight for different reasons.

Still ringing in Lea's mind, Clara's expression was full of wounds when her patient said that she had no problems in life. Even though it's not a matter of life and death, her problems were not something that a woman can easily deal with. Her fiance's betrayal and then her infertility.

Lea also remembered how Linda asked her to help Clara. Maybe, that was one of the ways she would be able to help her atone for her sins—if Clara could accept her offer.

Could she do that for real this time? For Clara, a doctor who dedicated precious time to her mother's treatment. If not for Clara, something fatal could have happened and would have caused death for her mother.
