Ruth felt herself drop to the lowest she had ever felt when Preslie broke out into tears.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around Preslie.
They both ended up holding each other as they wailed in sadness. This attracted the attention of a few people passing by.
After crying for an unknown amount of time, Ruth managed to calm down.
She let go of Preslie then rubbed her eyes vigorously. She then took out some tissue paper from her handbag and handed it to Preslie, "Here Preslie, please don't cry."
Although Ruth was quite a weakling, she understood that this wasn't the time to let their emotions overwhelm them.
Preslie wiped away her tears with the tissue paper.
The tissue paper was already soaked from her tears, but she was still crying.
Ruth sniffled as she said, "Preslie, I've known for a very long time now that there are just somethings in life that we can't fight. Some things are just
meant to be."
They couldn't change fate.
Having come from a very humble family, she was all too familiar with this truth.
"Since we can't do anything more for Yesseca, all we can do is accept her fate." Ruth said solemnly.
Preslie had always been a very emotional person. She shouted, "No! I can't accept this! I won't!"
"What can we do then?" Ruth asked bitterly.
Preslie was shocked when faced with this question.
She was right!
What more could she do?
She had already thought of everything that she could.
"Preslie, we have reached a point where we've done everything we can for Yesseca. We have no other choice but to accept her fate and hide our sorrow from her. We should try to be happy and cheerful when we are around her so that she can pass in peace." Ruth said with some difficulty.
