"Miss Donald, are you aggrieved?"
"What's the point of being aggrieved? I've been through it all. When I look back, I'm glad I didn't die in the past."
"What did you feel at that moment when Dixon Borris clarified for you? Would you still be with him?"
"How do you feel? "I don't know how to say it. But I cried in front of the TV camera. I guess all my emotions exploded at that moment. I didn't expect this day to come. I didn't think I would be able to clear my name. "I thank Dixon Borris for facing up to his mistake and clearing my name. But we shouldn't be together. "I'm not that brave. And I'm not that lucky."
"Will you still forgive him?"
"I'll never forgive him."
"Never forgive him."
Seeing this speech, Dixon blinked his eyes and felt his eyes a little sour.
He pressed the footer of the page with his fingers trembling slightly. Sonia mentioned in a calm and cool way about being wrongly accused and misunderstood and framed back then. However, the lines were filled with a painful sense of tearing and heartbreaking.
She experienced five years in prison that were paved with blood. She was left alone in a cage built by Dixon in the name of marriage, tossing and turning, but unable to live.
Later, Dixon closed the magazine, reaching out to cover his face. The sunset behind him slowly painted the world red. Dixon was engulfed by the light of the setting sun. His shoulders were trembling slightly.
The moment he looked up, tears rolled out from his eyes and fell on the table.
He wanted to go to Sonia. He wanted to go now. Right away. He wanted to tell her they could start over, as long as she gave him a chance to treat her well.
But his ration told him no way. He was late. Even if he was late for a second, he would still be late. He had made a mistake, and she had let it go.
And then they missed each other.
She fished out a small box from her pocket, which contained the gold necklace she had prepared for Victor's birthday. But his birthday had passed long ago. And she hadn't seen him since then.
Helena gave the box to Dixon, "If you see Victor next time, give this to him. Tell him it's from his Grandma. It is a blessing to keep him safe."
"OK."
Dixon took the jewelry box from Helena and answered in a mute voice. Then he asked softly, "Mom, do you think I have any chance if a person is completely disappointed in me?"
Helena understood what Dixon was talking about. She sighed, "I know. I am also responsible. I watched Sonia being called away by Maria, but did not try to stop her... And I didn't expect that the incident about the escalator would happen later..."
Dixon looked at the soup on the table and whispered, "But if I don't make amends, how am I going to fill the debt?"
Helena patted Dixon's back, "Dixon, do what you have to do. I'll deal with Old Mrs. Borris. Whether Sonia can forgive our family or not, we should give her what she deserves."
