Kimmy followed Cain as he walked through the door. She bit her lips seeing Uncle Daniel sitting on a wheelchair with a smile on his face. Kimmy's heart broke seeing how crooked his smile was as he could only move one side of his lips.
"Welcome dear," he said hoarsely. Even his voice sounded different since half of his body was paralyzed.
She could not help herself as she got down on her knees and started sobbing while she said, "I-I'm sorry Uncle I didn't know this would happen. Oh my God, I am so sorry…"
She did not know how many times she said sorry but she felt like it wasn't enough. She was too ashamed to even look him properly in the eye so she simply bowed her head and cried her heart out.
She felt his hand patting her shoulders gently as he whispered, "It's okay my dear. It's not your fault. It was bound to happen sooner or later. So please stop blaming yourself. Come on now, stop crying and get up."
