"We just need to be patient." John sighed and patted Robyn's shoulder reassuringly. "Healing is a long process, and we shouldn't rush things."
Robyn smiled. "I'm glad you're so optimistic, John. Anne is so lucky to have you."
John chuckled when he heard this. "I don't agree with that."
Sometimes, he would wonder if it was he who dragged Anne down.
After getting to know Anne's social circle, John realized that she should never have settled down with someone as mundane as him.
All of Anne's friends were members of the social elite. Luna, for instance, hailed from a powerful family even though she had, at one point, been adopted by the Gibsons.
Bonnie, on the other hand, was the heiress to a massive fortune.
Anne herself was a prestigious plastic surgeon and had accumulated a great reputation in this field. It would be easy for her to settle down with a rich, powerful man who could afford to hire bodyguards for her safety.
John, on the other hand, was just a regular man. Although he was ambitious and possessed skills that surpassed the average white-collar worker, he was a far cry from someone like Anne.
If Anne had not chosen him…perhaps she would never have ended up like this.
It was all his fault. He failed to protect her from harm, and she suffered the consequences.
