"Elijah, you promised Grandpa that you would take care of me for the rest of my life. Are you going to leave me alone too?
"You know, you are the only one I have in this world."
Her eyes were red, and gradually she seemed to blend with the sorrowful figure she had been a few years ago, becoming indistinguishable from it in my eyes.
Amelia's parents had passed away, and it was Grandpa Charles who had raised her.
Before his death, Charles said that the person he was most worried about was Amelia, and asked me to look after her in his stead.
Charles had been very kind to me, helping me out when I was in the most difficult of times.
After his funeral, Amelia hugged me and cried her heart out.
"From now on, I only have you in this world, only you..."
At that time, I felt sorry for her and made a solemn promise to her.
"Don't worry, I will be by your side for the rest of my life, never leaving or abandoning you."
At that moment, I really meant it. I wanted to protect this woman from any suffering for the rest of her life.
But the once sincere promise turned out to be a prison for myself.
