"Karenina, please open the door. Stop doing this," Nicholas kept banging on the door. "Listen, I'm sorry for offending you and accusing you carelessly. I really don't remember what happened that night."
Karenina's sobs became louder.
"Can we talk about this after I return? I need to go somewhere urgently. You should take the time in my absence to calm yourself down. I beg you, don't do this," Nicholas said.
He really chose the words he wanted to say very carefully for fear that if he said the wrong thing, Karenina would be offended and jump right up. He couldn't deal with his fiancee killing herself at this moment. He must focus his attention on finding the truth about his past.
He was worried about his mother's health if the queen heard that Karenina killed herself because of him. Queen Marianne had been holding on so well for the past five years. Nicholas didn't want her to die now. She was all he had left.
