Jimmy had nothing to say. The pain in his throat was sharp, like a row of needles.
Herbert asked again, "Why didn't you come when I sent you a distress message? Why did you wait until everything was settled before coming?"
Jimmy was speechless by the child's questions.
He stared into the child's despairing eyes and felt guilty.
"I'm sorry, child. I'm sorry."
Herbert heard Jimmy apologize and suddenly chuckled. His laughter made Jimmy feel strange.
"What's wrong?" Jimmy was confused.
Herbert said, "I'm the one who killed Robert. That weak and useless woman doesn't have the ability!" Herbert was despairing of the world. He didn't want to live anymore. He had deliberately told Jimmy the truth because he wanted to be punished.
"I didn't just kill Robert. I buried those who died. I stood by while Robert dissected them." Herbert smiled coldly. He said, "I'm an accessory. You should take me away. That woman is innocent."
