He heard Yvonne's low voice travel into his ears, "Zachary, I'm really afraid that you're still angry with me. I'm afraid that you won't forgive me, and I'll lose you again. I only have you and Maria now. Maria still refuses to forgive me; I know it's my fault. I don't care about what the others think; I only care about you and Maria."
Zachary's heart tightened when he heard her words.
He remained motionless and silently allowed Yvonne to lean against his shoulder.
"I shouldn't have given Maria to you like that. I felt very guilty, honestly. Back then, I thought, if I gave her to you, you wouldn't look for another woman so easily with a child around. And perhaps I would still have a chance if I come back."
Zachary was stunned for a moment. He knew that she had gone to the United States to get treated, but he did not expect her to have such a thought.
