Chapter 1951

Sarai was taken aback by this.

Holley had even attempted to drug Belinda?

And now, she was locked away, her sentence stretching into endless, punishing years.

But why was Belinda telling her this?

Was it meant as a glimpse into Holley’s misery, or as a veiled warning directed at her?

For a moment, Sarai couldn’t figure out Belinda’s true intent.

Then, Belinda’s steady voice broke through again. “After my grandmother discovered the truth, her spirit was shattered. She has been drowning in despair ever since. She can’t stop asking herself why the children she raised ended up this way—Holley, and you. Her heart is broken, wracked with guilt, and she has been spending her days in agony.”

Sarai’s expression froze with uncertainty at Belinda’s words.

Before she could muster a reply, Belinda’s voice echoed again. “Sarai, you keep claiming you’ve acknowledged your faults. But I want to know—do you truly understand your wrongs, or are you only saying it to put on a performance for me?”

Sarai felt as though unseen fingers were coiling around her throat, stealing the breath from her lungs and leaving her speechless.

Faced with Belinda’s words, her mind went blank. She didn’t know how to reply.

“I—” Sarai began, her voice trembling, but Belinda swiftly cut her off.

“You don’t need to answer me right now,” Belinda said firmly. “All I ask is that you think carefully about what I’ve told you. To be honest, I still haven’t forgiven you. I don’t even want to forgive you. But… after everything that happened with Holley, my perspective has shifted.”

Her eyes sharpened, every word measured and heavy. “Sarai, no matter why you came back, I want this grudge between us to end here. Whether you saved Kenia on purpose or simply by chance, I won’t question your motives. I will let go of the past. From this moment on, you can stay in Owathe, visit Kenia whenever you please—I won’t stop you. But you need to understand—this is the final chance I’ll give you.”

Belinda’s lips quivered faintly before she steadied her tone, now low and grave. “And don’t think this is for you—it’s for Kenia. I refuse to let her keep suffering because of us. She’s old now. She can’t bear another heartbreak. If you have even the smallest shred of conscience left, if you still care about Kenia, then think seriously about what I’ve said. Remember who it was that took you in when your parents died, who gave you a home when you stood on the brink of being sent to an orphanage!”

ЯE P?ΛTΞ? IИ GΛ?И?VΞ.

She drew in a long breath and rose to her feet. “I’ve said all I came to say. The decision is in your hands.”

With that, she grabbed her bag and turned to leave.

The only reason she had agreed to meet Sarai today was because of Kenia. Since the incident with Holley, Kenia had been living under a constant shadow.

She tried hard to conceal it, but Belinda could see the sorrow in her every single day.

But Holley had already done what she had done; there was no turning back from that.

However, Sarai was different. She hadn’t done anything seriously bad yet.

At the very least, Belinda could speak reason into her and hope to bring her back to her senses.

That was why Belinda had come—this meeting was her chance to make her stance clear.

The choice now rested entirely with Sarai.
