"I... want to go back to my room," Ellen muttered under her breath.
Eric tone was gentle, "Ellen, the sun is nice today, how about we go outside and bask a little in the sun?"
Ellen had her head hung low, "...I want to go back to my room."
Eric was silent for a moment before he led Ellen back upstairs.
Norris Moore popped a cherry into her mouth and let out a cold laugh.
It wasn't that she lacked empathy, but the stark difference in Eric's treatment of Ellen and Aldana Candi only intensified her sympathy for Aldana.
For more than ten years she had been cautiously kind to him, yet had never received an iota of the tenderness Eric showed Ellen.
If Eric hadn't kept the truth hidden back then, Aldana wouldn't have been ruined by Philip Shaw.
Such a man, dare to talk about failing or not failing someone.
Aldana's eyes, Aldana's legs, Aldana's no longer healthy body.
If Eric had shown a touch of kindness to Aldana back then, she wouldn't have ended up in such a state.
