After Edward Anderson left, Cecelia Anderson sipped her soup in silence.
Bella Scott noticed this and knew what was bothering her friend.
"Edward and I have both moved on, so don't overthink it. There's nothing to regret. Perhaps our fate was meant to end five years ago," Bella said softly.
Today, when she heard Edward say he had let go, she was relieved as well.
The moment she realized she had fallen for him, she also knew she couldn't keep this baby. Bella had sustained uterine damage when giving birth five years ago, making her unsuitable for another pregnancy.
Even if she did get pregnant, it would lead to habitual miscarriages.
When Cecelia was hit by a car and hospitalized, fighting for her life, Bella had actively cooperated with her treatment at the hospital. But in the end, she couldn't save the baby and had to undergo a procedure to remove it.
The doctor told her she would never have children again.
