'I know it will be a long process, and I probably will struggle a lot to be patient with you as I also have an anger issue. But I want to be your guiding light, just like what you did to me when I was just a little kid.'
'Big sis Chloe, this cute little Vernon is a big man now, I will protect you instead.'
Chloe was surprised when Vernon said that she was pardoned. She thought that Vernon would at least scream at her for hurting him.
"R—Really? Pardoned? Just like that?" Chloe asked.
She had been so used to being blamed and intimidated that she just automatically blamed herself so she could stop the conflict.
Vernon knew this would be a long battle for himself. Because he wanted Chloe to regain her confidence and self-worth and slowly heal her from the trauma.
Just like how she pulled him out of that gutter of a family.
"Yes, you're pardoned…." Vernon replied weakly, this time with a thin smile. "I'm not angry at you, Chloe."
