Yvette took dozens of selfies with James upon recognizing him. In the last few, she was practically hanging onto his body. The pose was ridiculous and also intimate.
“Oh, right.”
After taking the selfies, Yvette suddenly remembered something and asked, “Why were you looking for me?”
“I’m here because of your brother.”
James blamed himself for what happened to those soldiers. He felt incredibly guilty.
He had reached out to the soldiers’ families and explained the situation. He also agreed to fulfill almost all of their requests.
“Let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”
“Okay.” Yvette nodded.
The three of them left together.
Near Sunleigh High School, a cafe.
They sat down in a private room.
James began to explain what truly happened in the cavern.
“Your brother died because of me. I came to see you because I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help you.”
“Huff,” Yvette sighed.
“My brother has had it rough ever since he was a kid. He was forced to quit junior high and start working to support us. Afterward, he joined the army and hardly ever came home. So, I rarely got to see him. The last time I saw him was about half a year ago.”
After learning that her brother died during a mission, Yvette was devastated and did not eat for a few days.
However, she had already dealt with her grief. Now, she simply lamented fate’s unfairness.
“Is there anything I could do for you?
“You’re Liam’s younger sister, so I’ll treat you as my younger sister as well. From now on, I’ll take care of you. If you ever need help, just contact me, and I’ll do my best to help you,” James said guiltily.
