Amelia. (2/3)

"No, I mean, look, I can walk just fine." Amelia stood up and shocked Jack a little.

Jack, seeing her standing up, was shocked, then he realized why he couldn't actually detect her problem.

"Ah! So you're pretending to be a cripple?" Jack asked; he was confused why she was pretending to be a cripple all this time.

"Well, I needed to remain chaste and pure," Amelia said while her eyes were brimming with tears.

Now Jack was even more confused; she was a mother. Why would she need to remain chaste?

"I know you're confused. Let me make this clear: I am not Amanda's mother; I am her elder sister. We used to live in that town," Amelia said while wiping her tears. She pointed at the town, which Jack can see from the floor-to-ceiling window.
