Edgar let out a soft, self-mocking laugh.

Edgar nodded, his eyes intensely fixed on her.

"That's the thing... It's not my business... Huh, huh."

His laughter was laced with a mix of despair and determination.

"..." Sherilyn was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.

"No, right?"

Edgar forced a bitter smile, "When you faced troubles, you never thought of me. What does that tell you?"
