A Heart Full of Despair

Lily coughed twice, wiping the water off her face with her hand. Her red, tear-filled eyes opened slowly, and in a calm voice, she said, "I'm fine. I just wanted to clear my head. Why did you come in?"

"Of course, I was worried you might do something rash." Nanny looked at her with deep concern. "Miss Anderson, everything can be discussed. Please don't do anything foolish."

Lily gave a bitter smile, "Don't worry, I won't commit suicide."

She had endured so many years, all for the moment when her father would be released from prison so they could reunite and be a family again.

How could she not hold on?

She felt like everything was in chaos now like she had lost all sense of direction. It was as though she were walking down a dark street with no streetlights, unsure of which way to go...

Who could tell her what she should do now?

If she continued her relationship with Ethan, her father would eventually find out once he was released.
