“You stole everything from me. Bet you’re loving every minute of it. But here you are, still playing the victim. Don’t you get tired of all this fake crying?” 

Caroline’s face hardened for a second before the waterworks started again, her voice shaking with fake hurt. 

“Abigail, how could you say that? You’ve got it wrong,” she sniffled. “I never wanted 

this… It’s my fault. I’m just so pathetic, 

always sick, always causing problems… 

I’m sorry! I’ll go. I’m just making everything 

worse.” 

She turned to leave, but right on cue,

Natalia ran over to stop her, looking all

heartbroken. “Caroline, don’t be silly. This is your home.” 

Even without the DNA results back yet, 

Natalia knew in her heart Caroline was here 

daughter. 

No way was she letting her walk away, 

not after everything the poor girl had been 

through. 

Caroline kept her head down, hiding 

her face, and said quietly, “Please, Mrs. Winchester… I need to go. Abigail won’t be happy if I stay.” 

She tried halfheartedly to pull away, tears running down her pale face, looking like

Natalia hugged her, gently patting her back as if soothing a wounded child. But when she looked at Abigail, her expression hardened, full of judging. 

Caroline was still hanging onto Natalia when she looked at Felix with teary eyes. 

“Felix, I’m so sorry,” she sniffled. “I ruined 

everything between you two. Go to her. 

I know how much you guys love each 

other…” 

Felix melted at how sweet she was being, 

even while crying. 

He looked at Abigail, shaking his head.

“She’s not well, Abigail. It’s not her fault. Why are you being so mean?” 

He couldn’t believe his sweet Abigail had 

turned so cold. 

“Abigail, stop it,” Natalia cut in, sounding tired. “We can do the wedding another day. What’s the big rush?” 

The words hit Abigail like a slap. 

Her mom and the man she’d loved for years were both taking Caroline’s side, like she was the victim here. 

What a joke. 

Caroline ruins her wedding, but somehow

Abigail’s the bad guy. 

Caroline kept crying, shaking and holding onto Natalia. Neither she nor Felix caught what Abigail said. 

Natalia glared at her. “What are you standing there for? Say sorry to Caroline. 

She’s already sick. If something happens to 

her because of this, it’s on you.” 

Abigail’s fists were so tight her nails cut 

into her hands. Just when she thought they 

couldn’t get any worse. 

“Sick?” she spat out, ice in her voice. 

She stormed into the living room, came back, and slammed a fat folder on the table.

“Go ahead, look through it. Show me what’s wrong with her health.‘ 

Natalia wasn’t used to Abigail talking back, 

and her face showed it. 

But something about how mad and pale 

Abigail looked made her hesitate. Finally, she picked up the folder and started 

reading. 

Felix peeked over, looking curious. 

As they read, their faces changed from confused to worried to straight–up 

shocked…
