"Wh-why did you say such a horrible thing?" Emmelyn asked Killian with a shocked voice. She really didn't understand why Killian could treat her this way. The man was her own brother!
Even if he hated Mars and his family, but Emmelyn was his own sister.
Was she already dead to him? How could he do this to her?
"It's nothing personal, really," Killian replied nonchalantly. "His whole family is cursed. What makes you think the child in your womb is not cursed too? It might not survive, just like his siblings. In fact, what about you? Don't you feel worried that you will be part of their calamity? I thought you are smarter than this."
Emmelyn bit her lip so hard until it bled. She tried not to look away. Any signs of her looking distressed would trigger her husband to come and intervene. She didn't want Killian to get into trouble.
