Chapter 163



I stood there, a bit dazed, not saying a word.

I was hesitant to join the conversation, worried I might say something wrong that could upset Ernest. Besides, my thoughts had drifted to my parents and their tragic car accident.

Was it really an accident, or was there more to the story?

Back then, I was too young to understand anything. Herschel had taken care of everything. He might be the only one who knows what truly happened. I planned to ask him about it when I saw him later.
