the video was giving Cornelia a real kick in the guts
She couldn’t figure out why watching a car crash video was making it hard for her to breathe as if she

Justin insisted. “Ms Stewart take a closer look at this video, it might jog your memory of something
you’d rather forget”
“Do I have to watch this because you want me to? Do I have to remember because you want me to?
Mr. Hartley, you guys keep watching. I need some fresh air” Cornelia got up, all worked up, wanting to
escape from the suffocating place but was grabbed by Marcus
“Cornelia” his deep voice called her name, and he looked at her tenderly. Tm here don’t be scared.

“Mr. Hartley what the hell are you talking about?” Cornelia jerked her hand away. “What’s this Tm here,

“Hartley. Im sorry” Cornelia knew Marcus was well intentioned, she shouldn’t have snapped at him, but
she couldn’t control herself.

So much blood, and her father’s weak but unwavering voice. “Nelly, close your eyes, forget everything
that happened today, and live well in the future.”
“Daddy you can’t leave me Cornelia reached out, trying to grab her father’s hand, but was held tightly
by a warm, large hand “Cornelia, don’t be scared. I’m always here”
The voice was deep and powerful, like a massive comfort

herself into his arms, hugging him tightly, “Daddy, I’m sorry! if it wasn’t for saving me, you wouldn’t have
been hurt, fm sorry! I’m sorry.”
