Thinking of how she was judged at the wedding banquet, the man who pretended to be a romantic but ruthlessly dumped her, all the unbearable gossip, and how she struggled to raise her child alone. The woman who was once cherished and protected, who had gone through changes and lost her innocence, was now this. It felt as if a knife had pierced her heart, constantly twisting, tightening, and bleeding...
She wanted to ask, "Since it's so hard, why didn't you come back?" But she remembered how Emma Smith had tried to come home multiple times, only to be turned away by her. What could she say? How could she tell her?
If she hadn't found out about this news, she might still be in the dark!
After venting months of frustration, Emma felt a bit more at ease.
But after that, she became disheartened.
For her, love was like a poppy flower - beautiful to look at, but with hidden poison.
