Chapter 42 An Unforgivable Sin

This would be my promise to live on and embrace a new version of myself.

Ivanna saw my determination and shook her head. She advised, “Have something to eat.”

I nodded, and she strode out to prepare some food. Meanwhile, I gathered my emotions and fixed my appearance before leaving the room. After the meal, I told Ivanna, “I’m going to pick up my daughter.”

“Are you sure? Why don’t you stay with me for a few days and calm down before doing that?”
