The other regret
An hour has passed since Ronin left and Anne is still crying by not letting go of Jack who was sitting limply in the empty living room, everyone including the faithful Erick, Jack ordered him to sleep first.
"Anne..."
"I've really failed as a mother, Jack. Not just one, but the two children I've given birth to are shattered like that without me knowing. I'm really useless ..."
Jack tightened his arms around Anne's body who relied on him. "No Anne, you can't talk like that. It's not your fault, so you don't have to feel guilty. I'm the only one to blame more than anyone."
Anne buried her face again in Jack's open chest, she couldn't stand to hear Jack's words.
