Morris Jackson stared at Lyra Smith for a long time before saying word by word, "You never gave me the chance to stand by your side."
Never...
Lyra was momentarily stunned.
She suddenly realized that all this time, she had been stubbornly trying to change something while hiding from her uncle, never telling him.
But she didn't dare to say it. Her uncle was on her brother's side. What's the point of saying it?
Her uncle might not be as direct as her brother, telling her that Mikel Anderson had to take on the danger for her, but her uncle would certainly guide her: it's just sacrificing a mere Mikel Anderson, it's nothing.
She was afraid to hear such words from her uncle.
She didn't say anything, at least holding onto a fantasy.
Morris Jackson continued to walk towards Lyra.
Lyra was now very resistant to anyone approaching her. Seeing her uncle coming towards her again, she shook her head anxiously, "Uncle, don't come over!"
But this time, Morris Jackson didn't stop.
