At that moment, when Jerry stepped outside, Abigail quickly followed behind him, her heart was pounding quietly in her chest.
Every step she took felt heavier than the last.
A heavy worry filled her, mixed with a creeping fear she couldn't push away.
Because deep inside, Abigail knew—she had made a mistake.
Tonight, when Jerry needed her support the most, she hadn't protected him, She hadn't stood by him the way a wife should have.
Instead, she had hesitated, She had doubted him, She had almost sided with the people who wanted to humiliate him.
And worse...She hadn't even tried to shield him with her status as his wife, She didn't call him "her husband" with pride or defend him with confidence, She just... stood there, confused, Worried, Ashamed.
A wave of regret washed over her as she hurried to keep up with his steps.
'How did I let things get this bad?how did I doubt him?'
