After listening to everything Credence said, especially with how sincere and gentle his attitude was, she felt like she was on cloud nine.
She looked at him in a daze, her mind was a mess and she didn't know if she should believe him.
After a while, her eyes flickered. She thought of the child that almost died, and her heart, which had gone soft, turned cold again.
She raised her head and stared at him. "Credence, I gave you a chance. But you have failed to live up to my expectations and betrayed my trust. I won't trust you ever again!"
Every time she believed him, she was severely hurt by him. She never wants to experience such heart-wrenching pain ever again.
Dorothy took a deep breath and smiled. She stared at him with pain in her eyes and said. "Credence, I used to think that you were so much more important than my own life. Back then, I would give you a dozen, no, a hundred chances."
