When they entered the graveyard, everyone went near a grave that was ten years old now. Lee Carman then sat down near it and slowly started to wipe the few leaves scattered on it. When she came to the end of it, she saw another pair of hands that were too cleaning the area.

She looked up and met those dreadful eyes and even after trying hard, broke into soft sobs which then soon turned into loud cries.

"I am sorry, Xian Xian. I am sorry. We are your culprits. We have tortured you two for loving each other so much. Sorry, being his mother I could never make it right for him and you. I am sorry, child." She cried for a long time for everything that happened in their lives in those years and for the loss she had to bear for all life.
