“How could she do that?” Daphne cried. Martin was sitting on the grass, letting her let it all out. “She said it was my fault. She said I had to divorce Roland and when I told her I was pregnant she said it was a devil’s child and I had to kill it”
“She was jealous of the bond we have” Martin explained.
“But why did she have to take my baby? She was all I had left” Daphne cried.
“She wanted you to think she’s all you have left” Martin said.
“She put me in a clinic!” Daphne yelled hysterical. “I started drinking, because I felt guilty about your death and because she said I couldn’t keep my baby. When Alex was born, Zoey brought me to the clinic. She told the doctors I was an addict and that I needed help. When I confronted her with it, she said she never said I should kill my baby, that it was all in my head and that it proved I needed help. She said I was incapable of raising a child and so she would. Then she left”
She looked up at Martin. “What kind of sister does that?”
She let herself fall on the ground and cried her heart out.
