บท 151: Not A Burden

"I just don't want to be a burden on you guys. I want to....."

"YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN ON US!" Domenic immediately silenced her as he reminded her that they never saw her as a burden.

"You are our sister, Emilia. A precious member of our family and an irreplaceable person in our lives. Not a burden. Did any of us ever made you feel like you are a burden on us?" He asked as he looked at her with questioning eyes.

Emily slowly shook her head as she took hold of both of her brother's hands as she spoke, "I know that none of you see me as a burden.....but that can't change the reality. How many people have lost their lives in order to protect me? How many have got seriously injured? Even Daniel and Mark were....." 

She trailed off as her throat suddenly felt stuffed because of her emotional state.
