"No, no, no, it's not your fault. You don't have to apologize." Seeing Cassandra lower her head, her eyes seemingly red and welling up, Howard grew so anxious he nearly leaped out of his hospital bed.
"It's not like it's some big secret, anyway. You were always saying how when you lived with the Lynch Family, that cousin of yours was always bullying and abusing you."
"No, Howard, you've misunderstood. I never said my cousin bullied and abused me. She was very good to me. Even if she was a bit strict sometimes, it was always for my own good."
"Even at a time like this, you're still defending her? Cassandra, you're just too kind-hearted."
The two people outside the door were speechless. For some reason, they suddenly felt a bit sick to their stomachs!
Melody Lynch raised an eyebrow, a cold sneer playing on her lips.
'Interesting. I'd just love to hear exactly how I've "bullied" and "abused" this dear cousin of mine all these years.'
