Downcast, Paige said, “This illness can’t be cured, Carol.”

“Don’t give up, Paige. There must be ways to control it. We’re all waiting for you.”

Paige forced a smile. “No, I won’t give up, but… Did I do anything wrong? Did Azure get jealous because I was dating Alex? My child…”

Upon hearing that, Caroline’s eyes turned red. “Paige…”

“I can’t go back,” Paige cried. “I can’t accept myself even if Alex can.”
