134. Owing Debts

Henrys POV

I would lie if I said seeing her like this wouldn't hurt me. It was like reopening a festering wound.

"What exactly do you think happened back then? Emilia and the Henrietta—from whom you stole the parents—are not the same person! Nobody led you to the portal; the voice, Emilia, even explicitly told you that you two could never meet! Didn't she reach out to warn you never to tamper with the 'glue'?"

"NO! Listen to me. After we left the cinema, we watched an action movie; do you remember? We were too little for that, remember? Mum was upset at Dad, and Emilia told me she was waiting in the forest, and I should come to meet her. It was her! She told me! IT'S ALL HER FAULT!"

"That didn't happen. Kenny saw the scene; you were just a willful child who wanted to meet her friend. I am not blaming you, so why are you blaming others?" I came closer and grabbed her shoulders to force her to look at me.
