“Go ahead and let your sister deal with it for you. In half an hour all the guests from your grandmother’s maiden family will arrive. Shirley also patted York’s shoulder.
Only then did York reluctantly agree and let me drag him to the lounge
There was spray to reduce swelling and bruise, aloe glue for external use, and an ice pack for cold compression. I treated the
wound on York’s face.
When I treated York’s wound, I sincerely apologized on Quinn’s behalf. “Let’s apply cold compresses on the wound first. After 24 hours, just heat it up with a hard–boiled egg
“I’ve used a spray to reduce swelling and pain. The pain won’t be too obvious.
“No matter what, Quinn really shouldn’t have doubted you. I apologize on his behalf.
“Although we don’t have a good relationship, I’ve never doubted that you would hurt Grandma: I put the spray and aloe vera glue back into the medicine box and looked up at York. “Similarly, I believe Quinn wouldn’t do that either.”
York covered the ice pack with his right hand and placed his left hand on his knee. He raised his chin at me, “Do you trust Quinn that much?”
“Of course.” I was absolutely sure of it.
York asked me, “Then do you know the real reason why Quinn remarried you?”
The real reason? My hand froze. Obviously, I didn’t understand what York was talking about.
“As the person involved, I definitely know better than you the reason for my remarriage, I retorted.
York smiled playfully. He asked me, “Natalia, did you think that you defeated Diana and became an irreplaceable existence in Quinn’s heart?
“York, what are you trying to say?” I was annoyed by his words and kindly reminded him, “Diana has already returned to Nordia. Don’t mention the past anymore.”
No one knew better than me what I had experienced after Diana appeared. The moment York mentioned her, I recalled everything that happened between me and Diana.
Actually. Quinn had already told me about Diana. The reason why he accommodated Diana and protected her was just to repay Diana’s mother.
Quinn had repeatedly mentioned to me that he had never thought of marrying Diana and had not even had any relationship with her.
Diana’s self–acted miscarriage was just to target these details
She was a tragic existence. However, I couldn’t be bothered to tell York
I was about to get up and leave to take care of Shirley when York suddenly asked me, “Natalia, have you heard of the name Clarissa?”
Who was Clarissa? I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at York in confusion.
“Clarissa is Diana’s twin sister and the true first love in Quinn’s heart. You don’t know any of this, do you?” York smiled and sized me up. “From your shocked expression, I know that Quingever mentioned Clarissa.”
The bolt from the blue was nothing more than that.

I suspected that York did it on purpose, but I had to admit that Quinn never mentioned Clarissa to me. He clearly had so many opportunities to mention, but he didn’t say a word.
“How did you know that Clarissa and Diana are twins?” I asked anxiously.
York didn’t want to tell me more details, but his smile became more intriguing. Coupled with the purple bruises on his face, it looked especially scary.
“What exactly do you know?” I suppressed the doubts in my heart and said stubbornly. “No matter what you say, I won’t believe you.”
York looked at me pretending to be calm and sneered. He put down the ice pack in his hand and walked toward me. He reminded me, “Natalia, you’re my sister after all. I wanted to tell you the truth out of kindness. However, since you want to be a stupid woman, just be it.”
The next instant, he brushed past me and walked out of the lounge.
I stood where I was but couldn’t come back to my senses for a long time. Anyone who passed by would see me in a daze. This was the first time I heard the name Clarissa. It was also the first time I knew that Diana had a twin sister.
York had no reason to fabricate such a thing. After all, it couldn’t withstand scrutiny. But I had never heard Quinn mention
I tried my best to adjust my mood, not wanting Shirley to see through my anxiety and worry.
After entertaining Mary’s relatives and friends, I did not go home Instead, I stayed with Shirley in the mourning hall all night.
Shirley knew that Mary was a devout Christian, so the specifically arranged for a priest to come over and also held a vigil. reading the Bible to Mary throughout the night.
It was impossible for me to leave Shirley to do this alone. Hence, I sent a message to Quinn and briefly explained the reason why I was not going home tonight
There were several times when I typed the name ‘Clarissa‘ in the dialog box, but I deleted it completely and temporarily suppressed this confusion in my heart.
I was willing to believe Quinn. Now wasn’t the best time to ask. At the very least, we could slowly ask about these details after Mary was cremated and buried.
On the night of the vigil, the sound of Bible reading filled the air in the memorial hall. York and I stayed by the casket, while Shirley, visibly exhausted and tearful, refused to leave. She read from the Bible, her gaze fixed as she gently touched the
casket
Seeing Shirley like this, I felt upset.
On the other hand, Ben was sleeping on his knees. It was as if the chanting in the mourning hall was a lullaby. He would even purse
his lips and smile from time to time as if he was immersed in some beautiful dream.
At that moment, I realized that Ben was not only selfish and lascivious, but even the last remnants of goodness within him had completely vanished.
In the latter half of the night, I tried to persuade Shirley to go to the lounge to rest, but she refused.
On the other hand, Ben’s head drooped and he suddenly woke up. He looked at the mourning hall with a dazed gaze and frowned before reminding Shirley in a hoarse voice.

“Natalia is concerned about you. We have to cremate Mary tomorrow morning. Go rest and recuperate,” Ben suggested.
Shirley shook her head in silence,

I was afraid that Shirley would not be able to hold on any longer so I got up and got Shirley a vitamin pill. However, when I returned with the vitamin pill, Ben was already gone,
“Where’s Dad?” I asked York.
York was arranging the flowers. He said indifferently. “Perhaps he went out to smoke to refresh himself.”
However, Ben’s so–called smoke refreshment lasted until dawn before he returned to the mourning hall.
At 7:30 in the morning, our family sent Mary to be cremated.
According to Shirley’s request, the real reason for Mary’s death was not announced to the public. Family and friends who paid their respects also thought that Mary had died of a heart attack.
As for the onlookers who saw Quinn fighting with York in the mourning hall, even if they were curious, they couldn’t guess the real reason.
Only we knew what the igniting cord was for Mary’s sudden death.
