"You should remember the shame." Betty snorted coldly.
Esther knew that Betty was talking about her losing the memory five years ago. Esther did not remember anything. And she didn't want to know what had happened at that time. But judging from their reaction, something bad must have happened to her.
Seeing Doris blaming herself in front of Betty, Esther remembered the time when she suffered at the Cusack's.
She remembered how arrogant Anne was. She remembered Anne had an affair with James.
So, Esther said faintly, "Alright, I'll do it!"
Esther knew that Terence looked terrible when he got sick. She didn't know how long he could live nor what he looked like. James had said that Terence was ugly, but Esther didn't care about it as long as Terence was a Gibson. He could help her and her mother get rid of the Cusacks. He could make James and Anne lower their heads and address her as auntie. It was a tempting enough for Esther to marry him!
