The Kindest Cruelty
In a sly move, Chester stepped on my bloody, freshly stitched wound while Susie's back was turned.
The pain was too much, and I screamed.
Susie spun around, her curiosity piqued by the noise, and in that critical moment, Chester yanked his necklace off and hurled it to the ground.
Then, with tears streaming down his face, he bent over me and sobbed. "Edward, I just couldn't stand seeing you in so much pain. I wanted to comfort you. How could you destroy the lucky necklace Susie gave me..."
Susie looked at him, her eyes brimming with pity, and quickly reassured him, saying, "Don't worry about it. It's just a necklace, right? I'll get you a hundred more just like it!"
