Blood flowed down between his fingers, staining the brand new, expensive men's watch on his wrist red.
Meghan came in anger and she raised her hand to slap me hard.
“Lucas, do you know what you are doing? Are you crazy?!
“Raquel saw that you were not feeling well, so I came to ask about your condition out of kindness.
“But you resorted to a knife-stab attack because of something that happened a few years ago?”
The way my father-in-law and mother-in-law looked at me also changed.
They probably never dreamed that I, who was always gentle and polite, would do such a thing.
Raquel said hypocritically, “Meghan, don't blame Lucas. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I shouldn't have called you and I shouldn't have fallen down.
“It was me who caused Lucas to walk so far on a snowy night. And eight years ago, it was me who destroyed his marriage. I am guilty and I deserve this knife.”
Meghan was so distressed that she shed tears and said, “No, Raquel, you are not guilty. Lorene ran away from her marriage because she didn't love Lucas at all. It has nothing to do with you!
“And last time, I volunteered to pick you up. You should not blame yourself for it.”
