“Nicotine injection can cause the illusion of a heart attack. But the statute of limitations has passed, and the Anderson family is
gone. No one will prosecute.” Cher was not afraid to confess because no one could overturn the case.
In the light rain, Quinlyn felt Cher’s face becoming blurry and quietly asked, “Is there more?”
Cher didn’t respond. Her silence was a defensive rejection.
At that moment, Zane spoke up, “My grandpa Caden also died from nicotine poisoning.”
Joseph was taken aback. He had heard that Zane was exceptionally devoted, caring for Cher like a daughter and treating Caden
with great respect, visiting his grave every year, rain or shine.
“Why?” he blurted out.
“Maybe I couldn’t stand to see him suffer,” Zane said calmly, his answer almost cold and cruel, enough to earn public
condemnation in a courtroom.
But the next second, Quinlyn called him out, “You’re lying,” that wasn’t the answer.
This left Zane stunned. He thought of his childhood, being carried by his grandpa to work.
All they had was a tricycle and a small stove. Grandpa had skilled hands, able to fix everything, even if he wasn’t literate.
He would take Zane to school, fondly patting his head, saying, “Fixing things isn’t a skill. Understanding knowledge leads to
greater achievements.”
Zane studied hard, never disappointing his grandpa, but sadly, before finishing elementary school, Caden accidentally fell.
He hit his head, triggering dementia. His memories faded slowly, and his behavior became uncontrollable, leading to
incontinence.
Zane often returned home from school to find their place in disarray, everything they had gradually depleted. Thankfully, he was
old enough to help Caden bathe and handle chores. But during winter, there were fewer clothes, and many nights were spent
His distance from Cher began then.
Before Caden lost his mind, he often invited Cher to stay for dinner, hoping to prevent her from encountering her father. He knew
that once the abuser struck, it would happen repeatedly.
After the change in situation, he could no longer help her or let her see the chaos and incontinence his grandpa was suffering.
When a young man likes someone, he often feels an inexplicable sense of pride, yet such love also brings courage.
That was Zane’s first time taking a life. His hand trembled while lifting the syringe. After it was done, he fled with Caden, moving
away from there.
He later visited the hospital secretly and saw Cher’s mom moved into a private room. Cher then got into a luxury car, and
knowing she would be okay, he left.
Seasons changed, and Caden’s condition worsened to the point he couldn’t be left alone.
Zane dropped out of school, but how could a teenager care for an elderly person? He collapsed under the weight of daily hunger
and fatigue.

At the burial, the landlord’s wife helped. She saw the emaciated Zane and his decaying grandpa and sighed deeply.
As she turned to leave, Zane heard her say, “It’s better this way, to avoid suffering. It’s hard for both young and old
Later, when the landlord’s wife offered to take him in, he declined, feeling that carrying the weight of two loves made him feel
secure.
Eventually, he drove a taxi and one night, a wounded woman jumped into his car, crying, “Help me, drive, please! Her cry
became the blade in his hand. After all, he was meant to die; he might as well take a few down with him.
The first day of the new year had terrible weather. A cold wind blew in, chilling his hands and feet.
Quinlyn looked at the two people across from her, sensing they seemed cold, their white faces were expressionless, as if far
away from her.
The warm scene of a picnic with fish in the woods was abruptly cut from their minds, as if it never existed.

She didn’t like this, so she stepped out from Joseph’s umbrella, braving the drizzle and chill, walking up to them.
She reached out, holding their hands, looking up at them and asking, “Soon, those people will get legal help, you won’t have to
worry anymore. Can you still come live with us?”
