“Do I look like a weak man now?” Frank sighed.

“No,” Kara shook her head quickly. “Feeling sad doesn’t make someone weak. I’m actually proud of you.”

After regaining distance, Kara cupped his cheeks. “You have done a lot for your mother. You have also given your best to her. And after all your struggles and sacrifices, you can still be wise enough to accept the results even though they are bitter. You are extraordinary.”

“If we switched positions, you would also do the same as me, right?”

Frank nodded. He whispered, “Please give me time. Once my mind calms, things will definitely get better again.”

“Yes, for sure.”
