"Hmm...that push...it was not powerful enough to push you down. You slipped yourself," said Brian in a low voice. His tone was uncertain as he tried to defend himself and his expression was unnatural because he knew he was lying.

Even now, he should have just walked away, without paying any attention to her tears and not caring about what happened to her. But he couldn't. His feet seemed to have been glued to the spot, although he had repeatedly persuaded himself
