She still felt a lingering fear when she thought about the incident that day.
She knew Hudson Evans loved her, and her original intention was just to feign a suicide to scare him so he wouldn't agree to Chester Yale calling off their engagement.

By the time she woke up, she had already been to the Gate of Hell and back.
Even the wound on her wrist was incomparably deeper than the one she had inflicted on herself, nearly severing her tendons.
The maid who found her said that when she fell, her wrist landed right on the knife's edge.
