Norris Moore lowered her eyes to the hand Amelia held, and after a moment, she smiled, "No need. I'm fine right here." In the end, she couldn't bring herself to see Alex.
Hearing that, Amelia slowly withdrew her hand and let out a silent sigh.
"Alex won't despise you."
After a while, Amelia slowly spoke.
Norris's fingers on the coffee table moved unconsciously, and her eyes inexplicably became a bit sorrowful. She took a low breath, "I can't. I owe a big favor that I have to repay later. I can't trouble Alex anymore."
Amelia looked up at her, "Norris, is Trenton Smith's accident... related to you?"
Somehow, she always felt that it must be related to Norris Moore.
Norris hung her head, not speaking for a long time; then finally, she raised her eyes to look at Amelia. Her eyes were red as if she was about to cry, but her voice was calm, "Amelia, do you think I did something wrong?"
