"I know I caused her so much pain, but she's also a victim in all of this. She didn't deserve any of this." "You're right," I said, remembering the story I wanted to share with him. "When we were kids, you used to tell me a story about two friends who got into a fight. They stopped talking to each other, and the rift between them grew.

I did it for my ill child, so please forgive me,” that man uttered in between his sobs, pleadingly.
