"Ellen!"
Eric stepped forward and gripped her wrists tightly, his voice dark, "Are you crazy?!"
Ellen struggled in his arms, hoarsely shouting, "I want to ask you—are you crazy? How could you let others treat her like this! How could you! You promised me that you would protect her well. What did you end up doing! Eric! Eric! I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay my trust—you allowed others to hurt her, you don't care at all...!"
She felt as if her heart was shattering. What did she choose all those years ago? What she wanted to guard and protect over the years ended up becoming the weapon that hurt the person most important to her. Even she herself had become the executioner wielding the knife. She hurt her sister and then forgot everything…
Tears fell drop by drop, Ellen shook with sobs, her hands tightly held by Eric, her nails almost drawing blood from his palms.
She looked at Eric with hatred in her eyes.
