章 68: Who was to blame?

One by one, the Mayfairs that had been alerted to Ruth's condition all rushed to the hospital, filled with intense worry. No matter what Ruth had done, she was a daughter, a sister and granddaughter. On hearing that she had attempted suicide, they couldn't help feeling frightened.

"It's my fault, i should have sent David Saxon away the moment he showed up at the house." Jennie cried out. "I already know how he feels about her so why did i think that he would be nice to her?"

"No, it's my fault for expressing my disappointment loudly last night. I think i broke her heart." Edward Saxon lowered his eyes and sighed.
