"What happened?" Savannah had her heart in her mouth. "Unexpectedly, the brake failed; Master Sterling was driving too fast to stop, and the car had crashed into a tree..." Judy couldn't account for the lump in her throat, "The car exploded in a fire. We didn't even have a chance to get him to an emergency room... we were not even able to recover his body…"
Judy wept into her hands; Savannah gasped and understood. "That is to say, Dylan, who was following his brother, witnessed the explosion of the car accident and his brother's death, which led to his depression. He alienated old Sterling because he thought it was his father who killed his beloved eldest brother."
