Despite her small build, the blood in her body seemed to flow endlessly. Thinking back, even the air was dyed scarlet.
Having thought all this, I unconsciously felt a lump in my throat. I lowered my head and said with choking sobs, "I'm sorry."
Sawyer smiled faintly and said, "Don't be silly. Raiya was so kind, she wouldn't want to see us so sad."
I nodded then suddenly realized how relentlessly he tried to barge in. I promptly looked up at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Sawyer pressed his lips together apologetically while still maintaining a calm smile. "Don't worry. Raiya was always thinking about me even up till her death. How could I make her worry by doing something stupid? I'm not here to avenge her," Sawyer said.
"That's good," I was relieved. Although I knew that I should stay by his side during this challenging period, I was afraid that he might bump into Jordan. Therefore, I had to ask him to leave. I said, "In that case, you should go back if there's nothing else to say. I don't feel well and would like to rest."
Raiya was already dead, Sawyer should not be involved in this mess any longer.
"It's about time to go back," Sawyer agreed but then said, "But before that, I have to see the man you're with. I know that he is the real culprit."
"Didn' t you just say that you wouldn't take revenge?" I instantly became nervous, "Are you fooling me?"
Without any hesitation, I grabbed him and tried to walk out. I said, "No, you have to get out of here now. You can't win against him."
But the moment I turned, I was pulled back by his enormous strength.
I turned around to look at him. Sawyer didn't move at all. He just kept shaking his head at me and said, "No, Arianna. Raiya needs justice."
"Ask him to come out. I just need him to follow me and personally apologize in front of Raiya’s grave."
Get Jordan to apologize?
Was that even possible?
