Linda felt Alexander's fist clenched at the mention of Noura, and joy bubbled inside of her. She would always remind him about the tragedy that befell on the people he cared about and how it was all because of Anna's father.
Now, she hugged him even tighter and didn't want to let go. Though he hated to be touched because it reminded him of how he was sexually abused and molested at such a young age.
"Don't forget what you went through and what I had to endure to keep you safe." Linda lifted her head and looked at Alexander with teary eyes. "Her father killed your mother by having men rape her and remove her organs. It's the worst way to ever kill a living person. After all that, how can you still treat her nicely?"
His expression didn't change even when she said that, but as more tears flowed down her cheeks, he patted her back to console her.
