The little boy who had been holding back tears began to sob, his boy shaking from the intensity of his crying. A stray tear fell down Amy's left cheek but she didn't give in to the urge to pet him.
"Is it true?" Amy asked again, her hand gripping Edward's tightly.
"No." Gu Zhou managed to get out.
"I only bent down to pick the stone and when I looked up, Rocky was not there. I only bent down to pick the stone." Gu Zhou kept repeating.
Amy's tears started falling well now, she didn't know what happened out there on that cliff but she was not going to let anyone frame her brother for something he didn't do.
"You won't go to school tomorrow; I know you didn't do it but we have to obey the school's instruction. You will also write an apology letter to Rocky."
When they got home, Amy made Gu dinner then sent him to his room to rest. He had been shouted at enough in school, she was not going to do the same thing to him.
