"Aunty, is there anything you're worried about? Whatever it is, please don't hesitate to share it with me. Maybe I can help, or at least you could put some of the burden on me." Bella asked.
Emma Donovan clenches her hands tightly; she can feel how cold they are now. After taking a deep breath to relax, she says, "Bella, I'm sorry I never shared this with you before. Maybe it's because I thought it was filthy and immoral to share with you. But..." Once more, her voice trails off.
"Filthy? Immoral!?" Bella repeats her Aunty Emma's words while trying to figure out what exactly her Aunty wants to say.
"Y-Yes, Bella... I feel so mad and embarrassed to share this with you, especially Natalie. I—" Again, Emma can't continue her sentence. She takes a deep breath, her eyes still fixed on her niece with mixed feelings.
Bella frowned while trying to figure out who could make her aunt feel this way.
