She confessed that she had read the journal months earlier, and only then realized he had never truly loved her. That was why she left when he got sick.
She said she had taken the journal intending to destroy it out of anger — but after his death, she knew I deserved the truth. I didn’t know whether to hate her or thank her. But the final blow came during the reading of his will.
