Her nose became sore, and the tears that had stopped for a
moment came rushing back.
“If you want to cry, then just cry, Sis.” His fingertips brushed over
her eyes.
The word ‘sis’ acted like a key, releasing all the pain and sorrow
that had been repressed and locked up in her heart.
Unable to contain her overwhelming emotions right now, Grace let
out a sharp wail and finally burst into tears.

time ago that no matter how loudly she wept or how much tears.

worthless things.
Now, hearing him call her ‘sis’ made her think of her mother, of the

call her ‘sis’
If her mother and brother had not died, would she be less lonely? Would she be given the chance to

overwhelmed that he did not even know what to do.
As she burst into tears, he froze as if every nerve in his body had
been frozen too.

wrapped in white gauze.
She looked so pitiful.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a cell phone ringing. It was Grace’s phone that was in her pocket.
Jason looked at the words on the screen that spelled out, ‘Lina Sweeney’. He frowned
slightly and pressed the answer button.
“Hello, Grace? Why aren’t you at home today? Are you working
overtime?” Lina Sweeney’s voice came from the other end of the
phone.

anything, call back tomorrow,” Jason said in a low voice, worried
of waking the one who had fallen asleep in his arms.
