As her superior, Sawyer was sipping tea, indifferent to Scarlett's fate. It was only when she collapsed that he put down his teacup and fixed his sharp gaze on her. "Are you trying to let that woman go on purpose?"

Scarlett lay on the ground, her eyes open as she struggled to crawl towards him. "I didn't..."

Sawyer said, "You were clearly about to throw her off, but you hesitated. I have to suspect that you're having second thoughts."

Scarlett's face was pale and she looked disheveled. She grabbed the bottom of his pants with all her strength. "She grabbed my hand. I tried to throw her, but I couldn't. Please forgive me this time. I promise I won't fail again!"

At this, Sawyer walked over to her and grabbed her chin harshly. "You all have worthless lives. If I hadn't raised you, you wouldn't have survived this long."

Scarlett endured the pain, her fists clenched tightly, looking at him with helpless eyes. "I know. You're my foster father."
