"That's Sixth Brother's child!"
Sienna Johnson stared at Melanie Carpenter's face. Melanie had become emaciated; the gentle aura she used to carry had disappeared, replaced by a sharp and bitter disposition.
In reality, this woman could have chosen a completely different life. Years ago, when she found out that Adrian Desmond did not love her, she could have let go. Given Adrian's feelings for her, he would have taken care of her. She would be better off than she is now. But instead, she was determined to cling to Adrian. In the end, she gained nothing, not even the last bit of affection Adrian had for her.
"Say it again, whose child is that?"
"It's Sixth Brother's!" Melanie asserted firmly. In her heart, Devin Desmond was Adrian's child.
"No wonder you ended up in the psychiatric hospital. Your brain is truly not normal."
Sienna didn't know what else to say. It was clear that Devin was not Adrian's child, yet Melanie could tell such a lie without her face changing color.
