Her voice was very soft, almost disappearing into the wind, constantly repeating the same words. "But... I'm not wrong... This time, I won't soften."
Brenda, standing nearby, didn't know what to say and could only sigh. She held the umbrella, quietly leaning it toward Laura's side.
Time passed minute by minute.
From day to night, Laura had lost track of time. She didn't know how long she had been kneeling.
She kept her head bowed, everything before her blurry. She could feel heat rising from her body, a fever slowly taking over.
Even Brenda couldn't bear to watch anymore. She slapped her thigh and sighed. "Miss Marsh, please listen to me. Just apologize for now and once everything calms down, we'll talk. Mr. Bill definitely loves you. I remember how he secretly went to check on you when you were asleep..."
Laura finally couldn't hold on any longer. One hand braced on the ground, swaying unsteadily and everything in front of her became a blur.
