Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 509

"Heh... I know, you all blame me - Mom, Dad, and you! You all think that because Aberdeen and I went out, and she disappeared while I came back, I should carry the blame, right?" "You'd rather I hadn't come back at all, wished I'd died with her!"

"Ha... Twenty-eight years, and you really think she's still alive? Grandpa and Grandma refusing to give up doesn't surprise me; Aberdeen was their darling. At their age, how could they live without hope?" "But what I didn't see coming, Teague - is that you're still hung up on her!"
