When Clara had gone back to meet her parents they had been so happy to see her again. Clara had left home in anger because of her parents as they had been pestering her to abort the pregnancy but she didn't want to do that because of Vincent constant pleading.
So with anger and sadness as her parents couldn't understand her condition she left home and decided to live with Vincent.
He had taken care of her like a princess as she came from a poor family. He spoiled her so much with money and food.
He was everything she ever wanted. He was rich, handsome and caring. Her parents had always wanted her to marry a rich man so that she wouldn't suffer as they did.
But when Vincent had proposed to her she had declined his proposal in tears not that she wasn't happy about it but because of her illness.
