A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 943

Her voice was barely a whisper, and the hand she reached out was shaking.

She, in this state, was a far cry from the woman who was just wielding a knife to rip out hearts. It was as if she was struggling in her final moments.

Robin and Katharine, looking at Wendy in this condition, exchanged glances. They weren't sure if she was putting on an act or if she was really on the verge of death.

Katharine, who always believed in her mother even when she was hurt by her, held her trembling hand while clutching her own wound.

"Mom, I don't wish for you to die, but I'm sorry... I couldn't find a suitable donor for you..."

Hearing her daughter's words, tears welled up in Wendy's eyes.

"Katharine, my child... I'm the one who should apologize to you."

Her apology brought some relief to Katharine. She shook her head, "I won't blame you."

Wendy blinked, as if to say thank you, for allowing her to find some redemption in her last moments.

She shifted her gaze to Robin. "My son..."

Seeing Wendy extend her other hand, Robin hesitated for a moment before reaching out to her.

"Seems like I won't be able to wait for your donor..."

Robin held her hand, gripping it subconsciously. "Mom, I'll call the doctor."

Wendy held his hand tightly, using all her strength. "No need."

Facing death, Wendy realized it wasn't as terrifying as she thought. It was as if fate was forcing her to confess something.

She held her children's hands gently, hesitated for a while, then told them everything she had done to Vanya Pine.

"Evelyn Ziegler was a close friend of Vanya's. I was consumed by jealousy and intentionally drove a wedge between them. I even persuaded her to cause harm to Vanya's face...The woman your father intended to marry was Vanya. I interfered, employed manipulative tactics, and convinced your father to abandon Vanya, choosing to marry me instead. All of it... was my doing..."

Robin and Katharine were struck with shock. They had always believed their mother to be pure and innocent, unaware of the darkness lurking beneath her gentle exterior.

They stared at Wendy in disbelief as she unveiled a twisted smile. "Confessing... feels liberating..."

After she finished speaking, she tasted blood in her mouth.

The rusty taste spread, making her scared. She held Robin and Katharine's hands tighter.
