Ainsley looked at Mary with a questioning gaze. She didn't think that a mother who loved her child would be uncertain about it when this matter was mentioned. From the beginning to the end, Ainsley did not find any guilt or sadness in Mary's eyes except for numbness and happiness.
What was Mary happy about?
Suddenly, Ainsley thought of a possibility. She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Before Nancy committed suicide, did you find out that she got AIDS?"
Mary trembled, her face full of fear, denying quickly, "No! I didn't. I knew it in Mr. Ford's office."
Her face was pale, and she wouldn't admit it.
But Ainsley was clear that Mary's reaction in Mr. Ford's office that day was abnormal. A mother would be either angry or sad when she found out that her daughter got AIDS, but Mary did not react at all.
"To be honest, it seems that there is no point in hiding it now."
Why didn't Mary realize it?
