Chapter 2786

Yannie lifted her head dazedly.

Luna was standing in front of her with a coat draped over her loungewear.

It was clear that Luna had been in such a rush that she did not have time to change her clothes and
threw on a jacket over her indoor clothes instead. Not only that, but Luna’s hair was a mess, and she
was still wearing the hotel’s slippers.

This was the worst state Yannie had ever seen Luna in, but at this moment, a surge of warmth spread
through her heart.

“Luna…” She met Luna’s gaze with tears brimming in her eyes.

“Yannie, you’re not a curse.” Luna let out an exhale and strode toward her. “Even though all this had
something to do with you, you’re not the main cause at all.”

She fixed her gaze on Yannie’s face and continued, “Please believe that even without you, Thomas
would’ve to go through these hardships somehow. The people who had deceived him never took you
into their equation at all.”

Mrs. Flores curled her lips into a smile and stood up, handing Yannie over to Luna’s care before
disappearing into the kitchen to make them some coffee.

Luna sat down on the sofa and pulled Yannie into her arms. “Yannie, you must believe that none of this
happened because of you. On the contrary, you’re the only reason Thomas and Riley are still here
today.



“If it weren’t for you, Thomas would’ve believed that he had slept with Denise when he awoke
yesterday. Do you think he would’ve stayed calm after that, knowing how much he despises Denise?

“If it weren’t for you, Thomas wouldn’t have been arrested on only one count of murder, but two–his
father and Denise. Isn’t that so?”

Yannie began to calm down when she heard this. She bit her lip and lifted her head to stare at Luna
rather helplessly. “But Luna, if it weren’t for me…Thomas wouldn’t have been poisoned and…”

The more she tried to say it, the more upset she got. “I can’t possibly deny my responsibility in all this.
Luna, you don’t have to try to comfort me… I…” me,

She sniffed and added, “I’ve caused Thomas so much trouble… If it weren’t for wouldn’t even be in jail
right now…‘

Luna sighed and pulled Yannie closer. “Please don’t ever think that, Yannie…”

“There’s no use just reliving the past and continuously blaming yourself for it,” Gwen’s cold voice rang
out before Luna could even finish her sentence.

Gwen strode into the room and sat down across from Yannie.

She could not help but be reminded of herself when she stared at the woman sitting in front of her, the
girl who was constantly blaming herself and taking responsibility for every bad thing that had
happened.

Was she not the same?



After finding out the reason for Luke‘s death, Gwen spent sleepless nights blaming herself over and
over. There were even some instances when she could not help blaming herself for things that were
clearly not her fault or not within her control.

It was as though she was compelled to tell herself that none of this would have happened if she had
never existed.

Now that she had finally moved on from that state, she could not help feeling sad when she saw Yannie
acting the same way.

“Yannie, the most important thing we can do now is to change our circumstance, not moping about it.”

She took the cup Mrs. Flores handed her and stared intently at Yannie. “What you have to do now is try
to investigate Senior Howard‘s death and go in search of Riley.

“Crying and blaming yourself isn‘t going to solve the problem. What‘s happened has already happened,
and no amount of tears will change anything. “Lucky for you, Thomas is only arrested, and Riley is still
alive somewhere, albeit missing, so you still have time to make up for your mistakes. “Please don‘t
commit the same mistake I did, which is regretting all my decisions after things are too late.”
