When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“What are you doing? Stand up! Don’t do this!”

Sophia tried to tug me up, but I remained kneeling and sobbed. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Bauman. I was there that day. It was my fault. If it weren’t for me, Marcus wouldn’t have died.”

Anthony stiffened before they both helped me up. “This isn’t your fault. We watched the surveillance footage. He was really emotional back then. He got off the car because of you. Well, it was fate. We can’t blame anyone else.”

I parted my lips and made a solemn promise. “Mr. and Mrs. Bauman, if you don’t mind, I can take care of you on behalf of Marcus.”

“What a thoughtful child. No wonder Marc fell for you,” said Sophia. She sighed and lamented, “I wish Marc is still here. What a pity.”

After a pause, Anthony gazed at me. “Letty, be honest with me. What happened that day? Why did Marc act that way? He wasn’t usually that reckless. Did he have a reason for doing so?”

John and Louis, who had remained silent the whole time, promptly looked at me.

I explained, “Marcus died in despair after Benjamin and Sharon died. It was my fault. I didn’t know he’ll follow his parents’ path.”

Anthony narrowed his gaze. “What do Sharon and Marc’s deaths have to do with Sally?”
