Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 413

Benjamin pivoted his wheelchair to face me directly. "I remember vividly the time I confided in you about my plan for revenge. You told me that as a human being, leaving a way out for others is also leaving a way out for yourself.

But no one could save him. What awaited him was only fear, pain, and... a lifetime of disability.

"However, what transpired shattered my world. On my eighth birthday, they abandoned me at the market, and I've not heard from them since."

Benjamin smirked sarcastically. "Later, I was sent to the orphanage. I naively believed that my companions there were all abandoned children as well. I hoped that by sticking together and providing comfort, we could create a new family for ourselves...
