"Becca, Becca..."
Mrs. Geoffrey's call brought Rebecca Quentin back from her trance.
Rebecca Quentin looked desolately at Mrs. Geoffrey.
Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Becca, now that I'm telling you this, I'm prepared to bear the consequences. Actually, when I first confessed, I was already prepared to spend the rest of life in prison atoning for this crime. I refused Howard's help, but the court couldn't convict me due to lack of evidence, and I was released... After returning, every time I saw Andrew, I found it hard to face him. I can't imagine him growing up in an incomplete family at such a young age. I'm afraid of seeing a second Howard, so I really hope you can return to Andrew, and leave the past behind with Howard, to start anew... I know my presence would make you unwilling to be with Howard, but if you are willing, I can confess again, and this time, if your nanny Aunt Clare accuses me of hearing your father take my calls, my guilt can be confirmed..."
