Emmelyn was speechless. She didn't know what to say about this very unfortunate situation.
She wanted to get mad at Maxim for being the cause of her sufferings, but after she saw how much he also suffered... because of guilt and helplessness... she didn't have the heart to say anything.
She could only bit her lip and hold back whatever curses she had in her mind. Maxim was innocent, she thought.
It was all Catalina Leoralei's doing.
"I didn't know Catalina would do something like this..." Myrcella spoke softly. She sounded embarrassed and guilty. Catalina was her daughter-in-law and she felt responsible for whatever it was that Catalina did before she died.
Myrcella looked at Maxim and Emmelyn alternately, and she pressed her chest. She felt sorry for the young woman before her. Emmelyn looked devastated.
