Previously, she had wanted so badly to marry William that she treated his family as if they were her own. She even asked what his parents and grandparents liked.
If she had been with Sean because she wanted a fairy tale love, she was with William because she genuinely wanted a home.
The child meant everything to her. She was ready to be a mother, but now she couldn't.
She was from the upper classes, so she knew how greedy and selfish they were.
The Turners were about to leave. Although they wanted Rachel to leave William, they had no intention of hurting her and her child.
As a mother, Annalee knew how painful a miscarriage could be. She tried to comfort Rachel. "Rachel, it's okay."
"Please leave here. I don't want to see you." Rachel hated the Turners now. She knew they didn't mean to cause her miscarriage, but she just couldn't forgive them.
She and William were not innocent, either. They failed to protect their child. She thought of Tracey and Adam.
At first, Aydan didn't like Tracey and thought she was an easy woman. At the banquet, Adam talked back to Aydan for Tracey.
She remembered how Adam had taken Tracey away without hesitation. He looked so decisive and proud.
He acted as if he would give up the world for Tracey. She had pushed Tracey into the ocean on purpose, and he almost killed her for it.
She was still alive, but she'd lost her favorite thing. What did William do for her?
She quit showbiz and divorced Sean for William. She was willing to do anything for him.
Everyone thought she gave up her career for Sean, but it was not true.
Her scandals had had a big impact on her, but that didn't mean there was no chance of her making a comeback.
She gave up her career because she wanted to spend more time with William. She could be a normal woman as long as he was around.
His family must have known about her relationship with him a long time ago. There was a time when he came home late and depressed, perhaps because his family was asking him to leave her.
He refused to sleep with her because he was having second thoughts. He wasn't sure if he was going to marry her. Maybe he didn't decide to be with her until she was pregnant.
Now that she thought about this, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed again and again.
The pain in her lower abdomen came back after the anesthetic, but it was nothing compared to the heartache.
"Rachel, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
"Alright. Rachel doesn't want to see you, either." Alice's heart ached when she saw how devastated Rachel was.
Seeing Rachel's face buried in the quilt, William had no choice but to leave. He knew it was too much for her.
There were only Alice and Desmond in the ward. Both of them were from noble families, and Rachel was their only daughter.
It wasn't because she didn't want to see him, but because she wanted to know how he felt about her.
Did he come to her for duty or for love? Rachel finally understood that no one could compel love. If he didn't love her, she'd just let him go.
He had someone send her beautiful hydrangeas every day. She was allergic to most flowers, except hydrangeas.
Her windowsill was already covered with hydrangeas. They grew well under her care.
She was leading a life of leisure with her parents. No press, no spotlight.
She spent every day at home reading, planting, or watching movies.
But sometimes she cried at comedy movies. When she saw those lovely children, she would subconsciously touch her belly.
Her child was gone forever. She cried so much she didn't even know her clothes were wet.
She didn't go out for more than half a month, as if she had been cut off from the world.
Home was the only place where she wouldn't get hurt, and she didn't want to be hurt in any way.
"Rachel, since you're better now, why don't you go out? You need fresh air and sunshine!"
