"Done," Vernon said as he sent the text. He looked at Chloe, who continued to shed tears nonstop even though he already did what she had asked. "I've done what you want, though I don't think something as simple as this would change a thing about Dorothea."
Chloe continued to shed tears. She quickly jumped to hug Vernon after he said that he had done sending a text to Dorothea.
"Thank you so much, Vernon," Chloe murmured in her hoarse voice. "I'm sorry for forcing you to send a text to Dorothea. But I see a deep sadness in her. I know it's her fault, and she deserves everything she experienced right now, but this is the least I could do so her Christmas wouldn't be so tragic.
Vernon patted Chloe's head gently. He didn't know what image she had about him in her head, but…
"I'm not that vile, Chloe," Vernon said. "I don't plan to integrate her into our small family anytime soon, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to send a single text to her."
