How Could He Do This To Her?

"I have to see to it myself," Mars finally replied. "The witch has been my family's enemy for as long as I live. This is personal. I cannot let other people handle this problem for me. Even if we asked for Elmer's help, it is still my responsibility."

Emmelyn lowered her face and sighed. She looked at her stomach and thought about Harlow.

How long would her husband leave her? And what if something happened to him? This thought was really scary and made Emmelyn feel distraught again.

Ah.. no wonder he said he would stay here with her all week and spend more time together. It was done to compensate for the time that he would leave her. 

"Where does the witch live?" Emmelyn finally asked with a low voice. She didn't want to be seen as clingy, but the fact was she did feel clingy and didn't want him to go.
