Although it was spring in the Sandy Bay, the cold wind at night still felt chilly to the bone..

Kisa sat quietly by the river, letting the icy rain fall onto her. Her hair was wet, and her pale and thin face was filled with raindrops and tears. The red and swollen handprint on her face looked terrifying under the rain.

She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of indifference. ‘I don’t care if the Case family wants to frame me. All I want is my mother’s antique.‘

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and a thick coat was draped over her shoulders. Her heart trembled slightly. She turned around to see who it was, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

“That’s right. Gilbert wholeheartedly thought that I was lying and that I am a vicious monster. He hates me and wants me dead. How could it ever be him?‘

Howard was startled when he saw the handprint on Kisa’s face. “Kisa, y–your face… Who hit you?”

“It’s nothing,” Kisa said as she stared blankly at the river.

“I’m sorry, Kisa. I’m sorry for not doing anything when the news incident caused you to be ridiculed and humiliated by everyone. I would have taken it all down if given another chance. I never wanted to see you get hurt,” Howard pursed his lips and suddenly said with guilt.

Kisa was sad when she heard his words. People all over the world were scolding and teasing her Even her family and lover abandoned her like she was trash, but the man behind her who she had only known for a short time cared about her deeply.

It did not matter how genuine his concern for Kisa was. At least it was an upgrade compared to Gilbert’s aggressive questioning and humiliation.

But Kisa did not care about anyone’s opinion of her, other than Gilbert’s.

Her eyes started to water when she thought of how he had questioned her earlier today. ‘He always thinks I’m lying. He never believed me. Never…”

Kisa covered her face and choked with grief in a moment of sadness.

Howard was slightly startled. He then pulled her into his arms and said, “Yes, cry it out. There’s no one here. Just cry it all out.”

This was the first time Kisa felt vulnerable in front of an outsider. She was tired. All she wanted to do was cry her heart out.

Kisa clutched onto Howard’s chest tightly and cried like a helpless little child. She did not understand why her own grandfather would frame her. She also did not understand why her biological father hated her so much. Even more so, she did not understand why the man she loved with all her heart hated her from the very start of their relationship.

All her thoughts intertwined with each other and created an extreme feeling of sadness. Because of that, she continued to cry and tremble.

A strange feeling flashed across Howard’s heart when he tightly hugged Kisa’s thin, frail, trembling body.

He stroked her wet hair over and over again. He thought that she was sad because of the news, so he comforted her softly, “Everything will be fine, Kisa. Just cry it all out. The people will eventually forget about the news incident, and no one will laugh at you or insult you again.”

Kisa buried her head in his chest and cried. Her loud cry accompanied by the pattering rain sounded miserable.

Not far away, Gilbert started at the two hugging figures through the car window, his fists. almost crushing the steering wheel.
