The moment the Nelsons laid eyes on Dorothy, the tirade began.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut it was Kenneth's mother, Sienna, who led the charge! "It's all because of you! You witch, you curse! How could my son have been so blind to fall for you! You've taken him from us, so young, so soon!" "Kenneth! If you can hear me, take this woman with you! Take her to be with you!" Everett had been frowning through the accusations, managing to hold his tongue.
But Sienna's last remark was too much for him.
He was about to step forward when Dorothy quickly grabbed his wrist, shaking her head gently.
"She's crossed the line." "Everett, nothing she says right now is too much." Worried he might actually start a conflict at the funeral, Dorothy gently caressed his hand, "Put yourself in their shoes, imagine their grief! You don't need to cwith me, just wait here." "No." Everett's gaze hardened, "They're not thinking straight." "I told you! Whatever they do or say right now, it's not too much." Dorothy's voice was weak, still recovering from the ordeal, lacking its usual strength, "Please, just do this for me, will you?" "Everett?" He stood frozen, eventually conceding, "Cback soon." "I will." Leaving the comforting warmth of Everett's palm, Dorothy slowly approached Sienna.
The Nelsons, having benefited from Everett's generosity, naturally felt inclined to defend Dorothy. "Kenneth made his choice, respect it!" "What respect? My only son is gone, and all you have are cold words! I know it was her! She must have bribed you!" Sienna was beyond reason, ready to confront Dorothy if not for the others holding her back. "It's all your fault! You killed my son!" Dorothy faced the barrage of accusations and blwithout a word of rebuttal.

"Sienna, I am to blfor Kenneth's death. Whatever you say, I accept, it's my fault." "Don't think this will soften me!" "I don't." Tears welled in Dorothy's eyes, spilling over and streaming et down her cheeks, "It's my fault, and Kenneth paid the price. I have no defense."
Sienna wasn't about to forgive just because of Dorothy's kneeling or her admission of guilt. What mother could easily let go of the pain of losing a child, a part of herself? For a moment, Sienna said nothing, just glaring venomously at Dorothy.
As those holding her back eased up, she suddenly shoved them aside, charging at Dorothy! Before anyone could react, Sienna's slap landed fiercely across Dorothy's face! She didn't dodge.
Or rather, the moment she knelt before Sienna, she was bracing for 1, w this blow Dorothy's heart was heavy.
Ever since the incident, every tshe closed her eyes, she sawo m Kenneth's face! So young... Gentle, kind, a true gentleman. As if all the world's beauty was meant to describe him.
