"Matthew, she can explain her situation to you, but whether you accept it or not is your decision. She has no right to force you to understand her situation."
Ruby released her grip, letting Matthew walk first. He looked in all directions, trying to find the crying woman. His eyes looked empty, just like a lost child who lost her parents.
"Do you want to hide until the end?" Matthew closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "You had done something terrible to me back then, but Rollos said you had your own reason. Instead of crying until your tears are dry, why don't you try explaining your actions in the past to me?"
Moreover, Matthew would not empathize with someone just because they were crying. He also thought it would be easier to get information on how to cure Ruby if her mother would stop hiding from him.
"You must hate me that much." The heartbreaking cries gradually faded, and the animals in the forest began to calm down.
