However, Derry's teary gaze remained locked on Greta.
"So even if you are my sister, Greta, if you ever hide such a secret from us again, I'll never forgive you," Derry said, her voice filled with a mixture of resolution and determination.
At this point, the women were keenly aware of what was occurring beside them and listened intently to Derry's words.
After hearing everything she had said, they all nodded inwardly in agreement, their hearts resonating with her sentiments.
However, despite the effectiveness of Derry's words, some of the women weren't pleased with how Derry had approached the matter.
Fiona, seated near Greta, reached out and grabbed Greta's trembling hand, holding it tightly within her grasp.
"We know you only did what was best for the family, Greta. Though Derry and Lyra may be correct, they obviously cannot control their emotions. Don't allow their words to weigh you down," Fiona said softly, gently rubbing Greta's hand to soothe her nerves.
