181 Finding out the truth (3)

Fat tears pulled out of Alex's eyes. She could feel the stabbing pain in her chest. She slowly clawed her chest. Her daughter and sister suffered so much, yet her sister told her nothing about it. 

On that day, while they were fighting the enemies, Alex saw her sister bleeding from the stomach and it wasn't a bullet wound, so Alex thought it was the enemies' blood. After all, they were using anything dangerous– that included guns and surgical tools. If she knew that the blood on Alice's stomach was from Alice's injury, she wouldn't have allowed her to continue fighting. 

Coming to that realization, Alex couldn't contain her sorrow anymore. She cried so hard that her voice broke.

All these while, Diana was looking at her without consoling her. That was how she cried too. Everything was Alex's fault, so I'll let her cry blood! She thought.
