"If I didn't believe in people so easily, this wouldn't happen. Everything is my fault," Veronica lamented.
Arthur stroked her head. "It's not your fault. You just didn't know people can be bad. If you want to blame someone, blame the people who raised you. They didn't teach you well.
"But now, you are working hard, aren't you? You became smarter. You know how to deal with people, whom to trust or not. I will help you out too."
"All right," Veronica nodded.
"About Felix…" Ironin started talking.
At that moment, someone shouted loudly. "Save me!!!" The horrifying shrill sent chills down to their spines. They looked up and saw Aria falling to the ground. She was right above where they were standing.
Ironin acted first. He swiftly backed away. Arthur then grabbed Veronica's waist and yanked her backward.
