Theo's voice was steady and unyielding as he spoke, “Since you've made your choice, you must have the
courage to face the consequences."
Sierra trembled slightly, biting her lip. "You're right, Uncle Theo. | don't have the right to ask Ms. Linden for
forgiveness.
"I had hoped to apologize sincerely to her today. But | couldn't even lift my head to face her when | was there.
"I know she must be very disappointed in me. She probably won't forgive me, and she probably doesn't want to
see me."
Her voice faltered as she looked up at the dark sky, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill.
Theo observed her quietly before responding, “How can you be so sure she won't forgive you? You haven't even
tried.
“Retreating before your battle is like a turtle hiding in its shell, never seeing the world outside.”

imperceptible smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
“Uncle Theo, there's something else I'd like to ask for your help with,” Sierra said cautiously.
Theo saw through her intentions and said, "Aunt Jemima will be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.
Once she's out, I'll take you to visit her, but | won't speak on your behalf. It's up to you now."
He wanted to see if she was truly ready to move on from the past.
Sierra nodded eagerly. "Don't worry, Uncle Theo. | won't cause you any trouble."
"Mm."
"Then I'll visit Grandpa Gray with sof his favorite food to thank him for letting you take care of me." Theo
was dumbfounded. “He has bad teeth. There's no need to buy him anything."
Sierra furrowed her brows. She remembered that Edward had pretty good teeth, but she didn't dwell on it. “Then,
whenever you're free, I'd like to invite you to dinner to thank you for everything you've done forthese days."
“I'm free right now,” Theo replied immediately, his voice elegant and smooth.
Sierra's heart heart tightened, and she felt inexplicably flustered.
Noticing her silence, Theo narrowed his eyes slightly. "What's wrong? You don't want to? Did you not mean what
you said earlier?"
“No, | do.” Sierra waved her hands quickly, her eyes wide as she tried to explain.
