I could no longer hold back my emotion as I bawled my eyes out, hugging her. “John has lost his right arm forever. The doctor says it can’t be cured! It’s all my fault!”

Maybe, only when we see our beloved getting hurt and humiliated do we realize how useless we are.

The most helpless part of a human, besides love, is life and death. I failed to give my love when he needed it. And now, I even caused him to lose an arm. What a useless sister I am!
