Chapter 64 - She's not a hindrance

"No."

Aaron reminded, "The feud between Sherry and I has never been a hindrance to us."

At least, he thinks not.

Nola gritted her teeth, rubbed her fingers over the knife and fork in her hand, the dinner on her plate was tasteless, and finally, in a slow voice, she said, "Even if Sherry was Monica's murderer, you could cover up for her again and again, why are you so cruel to me? The other day, Sherry appeared at the sanatorium for no reason, and you didn't even ask?"

"Even if it was Edith who did the wrong thing, what was she doing there, was she harassing Monica too, Aaron, you can't be soft, women like that don't deserve to die."

Across the room, the man's eyes sank.

"And you, how do you know that?"

"What?"

Aaron never actively mentioned to Nola that Monica had been bullied at the sanatorium, let alone that she had been bullied by Edith.

Nola's expression froze, her usual innocence and gentleness fading a little, gradually, from her face.
