591 IT'S TOO LATE NOW

"Miss Marian, don't leave me yet." Veronica cried while holding onto Marian's hand. "Young mistress, I'll call miss Cayenne, okay? I'll let her know of your current situation. She will be devastated if you won't tell her the truth."

"No, you can't." Marian gripped Veronica's hand tightly to stop her. "She will have her final exam soon. We cannot afford to distract her from the examination. I'd feel bad if she fails."

"What about John? He's been visiting you here but none of you really talked and settle your past. Are you just leaving without saying anything to him?"

"He'll understand."

"No, he won't."

Veronica knew she was being selfish but she didn't really want Marian to die yet. She's still young and could accomplish a lot of things but her illness robbed her off of her bright future.
