Ariel wanted to call the police because she was convinced that Cassandra had murdered her grandchild .
Amidst the chaos , Samuel finally spoke , Enough .
Airing this dirty laundry will only bring shame to the Nolans .
} Cassandras eyes were bloodshot .
She uttered each word with force , I already said , I didnt do it.
Cassandra , if it wasnt you , was it Francesca herself ? Do you think thats even possible ? Samuel coldly retorted .
A hint of glee flashed across Francescas eyes , but she quickly masked it , feigning weakness .
Sam , its alright .
I dont blame Cassandra .
Its just … Im heartbroken about my baby .
Cassandra , I know you misunderstood my relationship with Sam , but were truly just friends .
Even if you resent me , you shouldnt have harmed my child .
Forget it .
Youre still young and youre with Sam .
I dont want to make a big deal out of it .
Cassandras chest burned with rage .
She pointed at Francesca and shouted , Francesca ! You know exactly how you lost that baby ! Francesca evaded her gaze and turned to Samuel .
Sam , I can let this go , but my poor baby .
I heard that babies who die like this need to be properly mourned at a church .
I heard there is a sacred church on West Hill , to atone for her sins , she must confess her misdeeds , apologize , and pray for the departed while prostrating herself along the way .
I know this might be a bit difficult for Cassandra , but … Samuel cut her off , his eyes turning menacingly towards Cassandra .
Difficult ? This is the least she can do to atone for her sins .
Cassandra stared out the window at the raging storm .
Going out in this weather to perform that grueling thing would surely lead to a miscarriage .
She had a gut feeling that Francesca knew something .
This was deliberate !! Fearful of losing her own kid , Cassandra clutched Samuels sleeve and pleaded for the first time .
Sammy , you promised you wouldnt let me suffer .
She didnt call him by his name but by his lovely nickname , hoping hed remember the affection they shared as children and not be so cruel .
Samuel looked at Cassandra with a complicated expression .
Still , he pulled her hand away eventually .
I also promised to protect Francesca and her child .
Cassandra , you made a mistake .
If you did something wrong , you have to pay the price .
His voice was indifferent .
After that , he ruthlessly let go of her hand .
Cassandra felt her heart shatter .
She screamed , Samuel ! You cant do this to me ! I … Before she could finish , the bodyguards dragged her away .
At the West Hill .
Cassandra stared up at the endless steps , fear creeping into her heart for the first time .
Rain pounded against her skin , mixing with the tears on her face .
She turned to the bodyguards and begged , Call Samuel .
Tell him , Im pregnant .
\ The bodyguard remained unmoved , replying like a robot , Madam , Mr.
Nolan said you must kneel and repent as you climb .
If you refuse , he will cut off funding to the orphanage .
Cassandra froze .
Samuel knew precisely where to hit her soft spot .
The orphanage she once lived in relied heavily on the Nolans funding , as government subsidies were meager .
The children there often went hungry and cold .
It was only after the Nolans investment that their lives improved .
If Samuel withdrew his support , their lives would become even more miserable .
She wanted to help the children because she had been through similar difficulties .
Cassandra managed a smile amidst the rain , a mix of bitterness and regret .
She knew she was trapped .
Even if she refused , Samuel would find other ways to blackmail her .
Madam , we will livestream your atonement to Mr.
Nolan .
Please begin .
} Cassandra turned and stepped onto the first stair .
She did what Samuel asked with mechanical precision .
Lightning flashed across the sky , thunder mingling with the relentless rain .
She had always been terrified of thunder .
Samuel used to cover her ears and tell her not to be afraid , but now he had another woman in his arms .
Cassandra , you were wrong .
You were wrong to love Samuel Nolan .
With that thought , she knelt with a thud against the stone step .
Then , she forced herself to stand and continue forward .
Her body trembled from the cold , but her back remained straight .
I was wrong … I was wrong to beg him three times to marry me .
In the end , I deserved this .
Back at the hospital , Samuel felt a sudden pang in his chest as he watched the live stream .
It was as if he was losing something precious .
Nevertheless , he quickly dismissed the thought and told himself Cassandra had brought this upon herself .
That punishment was already light .
Otherwise , she would have gone to jail .
He was doing her a favor .
8:02 AM J Im sorry .
I was wrong .
If I could have another chance , I would never fall in love with you .
Cassandra knelt again , her knee now bleeding profusely .
The coldness of her body was nothing compared to the chill in her heart .
At the hospital , Samuel couldnt bear it any longer .
He turned to leave , but Francescasuddenly grabbed his arm .
Sam , my stomach hurts ! Can you call the doctor for me ? In the end , Samuel chose Francesca .
} At the foot of the hill , Cassandra had no idea how long she had been kneeling .
The steps stretched endlessly before her .
Then , just as she lost her balance and was about to fall , a pair of hands caught her from behind .
A deep voice whispered in her ear , Do you really love Samuel that much ? Enough to destroy yourself for him ? her .
