“Daughter! You’re out of your mind! The Foster family has treated you so well. How can you be so cruel?”
Robert’s silver hair fluttered in the wind, his brows tightly furrowed.
“Grace, what are you doing? Put the knife down and go back with Daniel. He loves you—he won’t hold this against you.”
“Listen to your father. The child’s death was just an accident. If there really is more to it, even if I go broke, I’ll get justice for you and the boy!”
My family had always loved me and spoke with care,
but even that couldn’t shake my resolve to find the murderer.
“Dad, Mom, stop trying to persuade me. Pretend you never had me. You still have another daughter—she can be the dutiful one. No matter what, I will make the killer pay with their life!”
Linda, knowing how stubborn I was, sobbed as she clutched Daniel’s sleeve.
“Son-in-law, don’t blame Grace. She’s only lost her mind because of the pain of losing her child.”
“For the sake of your marriage, forgive her this time. I’ll make sure she turns over a new leaf.”
Her crying was so heartfelt that even some of the onlookers were moved.
Robert knelt down, tears and snot running down his face.
