The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 192

Vivienne ran her fingers through Isolde’s soft hair and asked her, “Isolde, do you blame me for not choosing to save you first?”

Isolde shook her head earnestly and said, “Vivienne, I don’t blame you. I know whatever decision you make is the right one. Plus, the thought of sacrificing more than forty lives just to save me is too cruel and terrifying. If I were in your shoes, I would’ve made the same choice.”

Vivienne’s eyes became moist. She felt comforted by Isolde’s understanding, but also a bit bitter. Isolde had experienced too much at such a young age and had learned about sacrifice and duty too early.

She patted Vivienne’s shoulder and added, “I believe Percival feels the same way. We won’t hold this against you.”

“Thank you? Vivienne nodded, feeling even more touched. Actually, she was the one who brought about this disaster. The students from Class Eighteen and Isolde’s family could all blame her, and she wouldn’t have anything to say in her defense.

But they didn’t. They chose to stand with her.

After giving Isolde some calming medicine, she gave Isolde a slice of cake that Percival had prepared.

“Wow, cake!” Isolde’s eyes sparkled as she excitedly reached for it.

“Too much will give you cavities.” Cecilia warned and stopped her.
