She didn't know if Samuel Johnson would be willing to listen to what she had to say, but it really was the only reason she had left to plead with him.
Wiping her tears, she looked up at the man's expressionless face. His expression was as cold and detached as ever, and her heart died bit by bit. She suddenly realized, it was no use, he didn't believe her.
After what happened with the contraceptive pills, he would never trust her again.
No matter how she tried to defend herself, no matter how she explained and begged, he would not believe her.
The trust he had in her was already precarious, and now, there wasn't a shred of it left.
Realizing this, she couldn't even cry anymore, only her face remained deathly pale.
