“What did you say? Say it once more...”
After knowing that Hudson was gone, tears ran down her face.
“I was wondering why he didn't come home these few days. He had worked so long in the Bask's villa and he would always send me a message every time he went out. Never had he ever took so much time without telling me anything! I need to take care of Esmae and I thought that he was coming back when I saw Mr. Bask today! Who would've thought that... Aaaah! My dear husband...” she said that while stepping out to hit Sarah with her crumbled state of mind.
The longer she cried, the more tears were accumulated on her face.
“Sorry, I'm really sorry...”
Sarah knelt and pressed her forehead on the ground.
Andrew pulled the bawling woman and told Sarah to get up, but Sarah wouldn't listen. In the end, Andrew loosened his hands and blocked the lady, “Calm down, everyone.”
“Calm down? How am I supposed to be calm? Mr. Bask, my husband is dead! Please think about it, what should Esmae and I do?”
“Even if it was related to Sarah, she's not responsible for it. Hudson was murdered, and we all know who murdered him.”
“Who did that? Tell me who it is! He must go to jail! I'm reporting this!”
Andrew didn't give any answer and turned around. He saw Sarah, who was trembling violently, and hugged her.
He softly said, “I'll console them well. Go back now, you've said everything you wanted to say.”
“No... I'm sorry, Hudson...”
Sarah covered her face with her hands. It was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe.
“Go back home.”
The second time, Andrew's voice was
“How could I? Could I calm down that way?”
“What can you do by staying here?”
Andrew slightly frowned after taking a glance at the crying and tired woman on the floor. Right when he wanted to help her out, a girl with blue school uniform and short braided hair showed up in front of him.
Her clear eyes made him forget about it.
She supported the lady and said, “Mom, what happened? Who are they?” Perhaps that girl was the Esmae that she mentioned before.
“Esmae, your dad passed away... Your dad passed away just like that...”
Esmae glanced at Andrew, and Andrew was coincidentally looking at her too. Both of their eyes were full of murderous spirit.
Afterwards, Esmae glanced at Sarah, “Who the hell are you guy? Where's my dad?”
Her voice had that unique youthfulness of a girl and persisting strength. She asked them in full confidence.
“Sorry.”
Sarah looked at Esmae and bit her lips, “Your dad was murdered because of me, I'm very sorry.”
Esmae's mother walked over and pointed at Sarah, “Why do you have to make my husband die? What did he do? He absolutely won't do such bad things, so why?”
Esmae stared blankly after hearing about her father's death. She closed her eyes and a clear tear fell out right away. She glared at Sarah deeply before rushing into the room.
The door was closed, and the crying sounds in there sounded extremely sad.
Andrew whose heart was as hard as rock, tightened his lips when facing the situation at that time.
“As long as, you say it... I will do my best to fulfill it, from now on... sorry.”
Sarah kept saying sorry. However, sorry was the most useless word.
Who invented the word 'sorry' anyway?
“Would saying sorry be of any use? I don't want your sorry! I only want him back!” she covered her head and cried in despair.
