Sylvia's eyes suddenly welled with tears, resembling blood drops at the corners, as her long lashes trembled slightly. She gently shook her head. "No, he never promised me anything. He hasn't wronged me."
She understood him completely. How could she ever blame him?
She would never harbor any resentment toward him or blame him. Her respect for him would remain unwavering.
Estelle handed her a cup of warm water, saying, "He left in such a hurry, but he was really worried about you."
Cradling the cup, Sylvia looked down. "I know he couldn't stay, but I could have gone with him."
Estelle replied, "Once he got you out of that place, he'd never let you go back."
Sylvia nodded softly. "Yes, I was being foolish."
Estelle's voice was gentle. "I understand how you feel. Leaving the organization felt like being abandoned, directionless. My whole life seemed to have lost its course."
Taking a deep breath, Sylvia looked at Estelle. "So, how did you manage to move on?"
Estelle's gaze was clear and sharp. "You don't have to force yourself to move on because, in the end, we still have to live!"
Tears suddenly spilled from Sylvia's eyes. She turned away, quickly wiping them off, and when she faced Estelle again, her composure was restored. "You're right. If we can't die, we must go on living!"
Estelle added, "He sent us away because he wanted us to live."
Sylvia looked at her, stunned, then slowly nodded. "Yes, he saved me, raised me, gave me a chance to start over. Why wouldn't I want to live? I should live even better to honor him."
Her thoughts became clearer. "Besides, there are many who rely on me!"
Events like today's would happen again, and she had to protect everyone in her company, just as he once protected her.
Estelle smiled softly. "Feeling better?"
"Yes!" Sylvia nodded. "Thank you so much!"
Estelle said, "Even without him, we can still be friends. And, Grandpa told me to tell you he really likes you and wants you to visit again when you're free."
Sylvia couldn't help but choke up again, her voice hoarse. "I will!"
