Vanessa Cameron looked at Anna and said, "I do not blame you. It’s my mistake too. I didn’t help you on that day."
Anna didn’t make a sound.
When Vanessa Cameron mentioned it, Anna didn’t know what to say. Vanessa Cameron can speak for her and also has the right to not speak.
Vanessa Cameron looked at Anna. She always considered Anna as a friend, and she didn’t want Anna to misunderstand her because of that incident. "If I tell you that I have a fear and I cannot speak in front of so many people, will you believe me?"
Anna looked at Vanessa Cameron in surprise, "Really?"
No wonder Vanessa Cameron never participated in university activities. It turned out that she didn’t have the enough confidence.
Vanessa Cameron bowed her head and thought of the past. She tried to repress some emotions in her eyes. "When I was in primary school, once I went out with my father and saw someone stealing something on the bus. I said it in public. Later, because of that, my father was beaten up by those people, and he was hospitalized for a long time. After coming out, his personality became very strange. Once, my mother helped someone outside. When she came back, my father found out and just because of that they divorced."
While saying the last sentence, Vanessa Cameron smiled but some tears rolled down from her eyes.
She looked like a very rational person. If she hadn’t said it herself, no one would have thought that she had experienced so much before.
Anna looked at Vanessa Cameron and felt very guilty. "I’m sorry, I don’t know that."
"It doesn’t matter." Vanessa Cameron smiled. "It’s been a long time, but till now, every time when I see so many people around I can’t open my mouth even if I really want to say. That’s why I couldn’t help you on that day. I’m sorry."
After hearing Vanessa Cameron’s apology Anna felt guiltier. After all, she quarreled with Vanessa Cameron and blamed Vanessa Cameron for not helping her.
