Vercueil?

I'm not really sure what the deal is at the end of the book. When she says "Is it time?" and then he responds - "He took me in is arms and held me with mighty force, so that the breath went out of me in a rush. From that embrace there was no warmth to be had."

Did he help her to die? Is that why she asked if it was time? There was another part that was a little disturbing - ""If you want me to help you I'll help you,"he said. He leaned over and took me by the throat, his thumbs resting lightly on my larynx, the three bad fingers bunched under my ear. "Don't," I whispered...my eyes swam with tears."

What's that all about?

This book disturbs me. I don't know what to think of it.
