"What's the point of shouting it out to let the others know?" she thought.

Kimberly remained silent.

She even pushed Benedict's hand away and said with a hoarse voice, "You can go now. I want to be alone."

After Benedict was pushed away, he was not angry but smiled at her. Then, he got up and sat down beside her, leaning against the tree like the way she was doing.

"If I leave, you will cry even harder," Benedict said.

Benedict explained softly, "In fact, when you are in a bad mood, staying alone is the worst. Because you have too much time to think about what has happened. But if someone is staying with you, you will slowly forget the reason why you are sad."

His tone gradually became melancholic. Kimberly turned around and looked at him. "Have you... been sad like this before?" she asked.

Hearing what she said, Benedict turned his head and stared into her eyes. "Well, it seems like this is quite effective. You've already begun to care about me," he chuckled.

Kimberly found that it was true.

Looking at Benedict, Kimberly turned her back to wipe away all the tears on her face and sniffled.

"But, I'm different from you. I'll be fine even if I stay alone," Kimberly said.

Her wound would heal by itself. So, she would not need nor expect other's help.

"If you are always so stubborn, you will only hurt yourself." Benedict added, "Maddox is not a cold-hearted person. Have you ever thought about revealing your weaknesses to him? Perhaps he will feel sorry fo you. If he feels that way for you, how could he bear to let you cry alone here?" Benedict advised.

Kimberly thought to herself, "I don't need him to feel sorry for me. Besides, you don't know what happened between us."
