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.”

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

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