Scarlett Glenn's words left the Old Man speechless, as if a thorn were stuck in his throat, making it unbearably hard to speak. He suddenly didn't dare to meet Scarlett's eyes.
Ethan Herd's eyes stung as he tightly held Scarlett Glenn's hand, wanting to give her some strength.
Scarlett Glenn smiled and said, "I don't know if you've ever tasted the feeling of possibly dying at any moment, where living each second is so difficult. I have, and I never want to look back on those days for as long as I live."
"I know you don't like the stains on my past, and neither do I. Sometimes, I despise myself. No one would want such experiences. But if I really had to do it all over again, I'd make the same choices. I'm alive. On Tomb Sweeping Day, at least someone remembers to bring a bunch of flowers to my mum's grave. If I were dead, who would remember her?"
"If I died, no one would ever know that Nell Harris was wronged."
