When There Is Nothing Left But Love

After being fussed over by John and the maid, Yvonne was feeling better. She cuddled up to John like a pitiful little kitten, snuffling a little.

I was by Hannah’s side and saw her watching emotionlessly as John waited on Yvonne hand and foot. She was calm, detached, and unfeeling.

Nothing is sadder than losing heart over someone. I suddenly realized why Hannah could take all these in her stride, unperturbed. She had given up all hopes and was prepared to leave.

Yvonne was lying in bed, giving John her woeful look. She whined to him, “Did I spoil everyone’s day? I’m so sorry. I only wanted to have a chat with Ms. Anne. I did not mean to enrage her. I was shocked she hated me so much, that she would push me into the pool. The water was so cold and I couldn’t swim. I was terrified!”

I was appalled. I used to think Rebecca was irritating, but her act was nothing compared to Yvonne’s. Yvonne was revolting. It was an eye-opening lesson for me.

Everyone in the room heard Yvonne’s accusation and turned to look at Hannah, who had paled and was biting her lips. She looked at Yvonne and muttered, “I am sorry, Ms. Wilde.” She had no intention of defending herself.

Yvonne was stunned by Hannah’s apology, but she shamelessly continued, “Ms. Anne, all I wanted was to have a chat with you. John and I are serious about one another. I also know you have a lover and would like to start a new chapter of your life. I only wanted to thank you for taking good care of John all these years.”
