Jeremy staggered hearing what Jerlina said. He stood supporting himself in the trunk of the tree. His chest felt heavy and he took deep breaths to help him breathe. She didn't elaborate, but she revealed a pretty shocking incident.
Emma had told her that Jerlina had no one. The knife Emma left was there and she tried to off herself forgetting that she was pregnant. But she stopped herself and she ended up losing her baby anyway.
How much did she suffer that day?
He didn't think she was lying. Her weeps originated from her gut and he could see she is broken even remembering that day. And the other day when he mentioned Emma at the diner, she got sick. She is not lying. She is greatly affected by what happened.
