After listening to Hannah, Cornelia saw a glimpse of her past self. Back then, she thought Jeremy had betrayed their marriage, but deep down, she still hoped it was all a lie, "Hannah, do you still love Steven?"
Hannah chuckled, "I loved him once, but not anymore."
However, Cornelia felt that that might not be the case.
Hannah asked her, "Nelly, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe me?"
Cornelia reached out and took Hannah's hand, "Hannah, I hope you can live as freely as you want."
Hannah responded, "Thanks for the good wishes. I'll strive to live the way I want."
Cornelia reminded her, "Don't forget, besides friends like me and Rosie, you also have your family. We're all here for you."
Hannah laughed and asked, "Nelly, why are you suddenly so emotional?"
Because Cornelia didn't want to see another Skyler, and she didn't want Skyler's tragedy to happen to Hannah. "Hannah, you must take good care of yourself."
Hannah responded, "Don't look at me like that. I'll be honest with you."
Cornelia knew that some things were easy to say to others, but hard to deal with when it came to oneself. Nevertheless, she had to say, "I don't want to hear about your past. I want you to face it bravely. Only then can you start a new life."
