EDNA
“Edna, are you okay?” Aunt Celine asked, appearing beside me at some point as she patted my back gently.
“I’m fine.” My voice was slightly hoarse.
Madam Maria was still sobbing silently at a corner and Madam Jessica kept patting her shoulder to console her.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were…I’m very sorry.” Madam Maria said, her voice trembling slightly.
Madam Jessica shook her head and replied, “It’s not your fault. Nobody would know this kind of thing.”
Madam Jessica glanced at me for a second, before averting her gaze with a sigh. “Let’s go, we will visit some other day.”
She helped Madam Maria up, but she still darted me a look of reluctance before saying, “You…can you come see me once in a while? You are always welcome, the family will welcome you.”
“Including Rosaline?”
