Ruth cried out, "Yes, it was me who hit you, what's it going to be? Kill me? Fine, come on, you two killed Sister Natalie, isn't that enough? You want to kill me too! Go ahead, chop at my neck, just right, Sister Natalie hasn't gone far, I can accompany her on the journey to the afterlife!"
As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears, "Sister Natalie, you're not alone, slow down, Ruth is coming to join you!"
Johan Niles released his grip, retreating several steps, his heart aching from Ruth's crying.
Connor's eyes also reddened, but he was calmer than Johan Niles, "Are you Natalie Niles' friend? How come I've never heard her mention you?"
"Of course I'm her friend! Who are you? Do you understand her? Do you often keep her company? Have you listened to her talk about her pain? Have you helped relieve her stress?"
Connor's face turned pale; none of it applied to him.
He wasn't even considered friends with Natalie Niles.
Ruth's words left them speechless, her demeanor softening.
