Her Brandan, the man she loved for so many years, wants to exchange her life for another woman's life...
How could it be?
Impossible, her Brandan wouldn't do such a thing, impossible...
Iris Harris's face turned pale instantly. She staggered backward, then was caught by Brandan Hyde's hand reaching out instinctively to grasp her wrist.
With her head lowered, Iris looked at her tightly clasped hand and thought, this is not a nightmare, but a living reality...
He wants to exchange her for Viola Harris.
Her tears suddenly became uncontrollable, dropping irrepressibly. She started to struggle, trying to shake off Brandan Hyde's hand: "No, I don't want to, I won't go!... Brandan, I'll divorce you, I won't have the child, I don't want anything, I'll do whatever you say, please don't do this to me... I don't want the child anymore, really, I don't..."
She did want this child, but what could be more important than her own life?
