He looked at Joshua Thompson, and his pale face showed a bitter smile, "A few months ago, you were planning on going abroad to see Gabriel, talking about sending her off for marriage. And now in just three months, everyone has become like this…"
He walked pityingly towards Gillian Thompson, staring at her almost ruined face, and then his gaze fell on the crutch tucked under her arm.
