We grew up together since we were young, just like other siblings. I didn't expect Dale to picture our relationship in such a nasty way.
"A person with a filthy mind thinks everyone else is as filthy as him!"
Keith left the ward in anger after saying so.
Grace sobbed softly and looked at Dale.
"Dale, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. You shouldn't have saved me at that time. You should have saved Estelle instead. But she still has family, and I only have you. I was so afraid to see you take her away. I might die..."
Dale wiped the tears from Grace's face.
"Don't worry. No one will disturb you again."
I looked at them as they cuddled each other, and the nauseating feeling almost overwhelmed me.
When the rescuers found me in the snowdrift, I was wrapped in ice and completely lost vital signs.
Dale's father, Neil Kemp, saw my body, and with just a touch, the flesh and bones completely separated.
Neil and my father grew up together as neighbors since childhood. When my parents were still alive and knew about me and Dale, they almost couldn't stop smiling.
Neil transferred the two shops he had under my name just to prevent Dale from doing anything foolish.
