Dickson smiled and said. “It’s nothing really. I just want to leave. I want to go somewhere no one knows me and start a new life. I don’t want to see those people anymore, nor doIwant to live with this hatred. Sierra, regardless, I’m glad to have met you.”
Sierra narrowed her eyes slightly. “Dickson, whathaveyou heard?”
Since he had decided to leave, there was no need for secrecy.Dicksonhesitated for a moment before saying. “Sierra, I know that Daphne’s death is connected to you. You helped me out of guilt, but I’m still grateful. You’ve saved my life more than once and you even took care of my mom’s body.”
Sierra interrupted him. “Wait! You say Daphne’s death is related to me? Who told y
you that?”
Dickson didn’t hide anything and shared about his encounter with someone from the prison.
Sterra finally understood why Dickson had been acting strange yesterday. At this moment, she didn’t know whether to be relieved that Dickson truly appreciated her or to comment on his naivety.
He told you, and you believed him?”
Sierra was at a loss for words.
Dickson p pursed his lips and saidnothing, his demeanor showing that he believed the person’s words completely.Sierrarealized that it made sense; after all, she hadalwayshidden the cause of his sister’s death from him.
After thinking it over, shesaid. “Daphne’sdeathhasnothing to dowithme. I onlyfoundoutshewasdeadawhile ago.”
If it weren’t for that video, she mightnothaveeven remembered Daphne.
Dickson’s expression changed. “What? Sierra, are you telling the truth?”
“At this point, I have no reason to lie to you, Dickson. Don’t just believe what strangers tell you.”
Sierra knew why that person would do such a thing: they wanted to drive a wedge between her and Dickson. It was a classic Shane move, who loved to play such games under the guise of exploring human nature. Nonsense!
Then tell me, how did my sister really die? Don’t hide it from me, please!”
Dickson wasvisiblyagitated. Hehadconvinced himselfnotto care, only to discover he didn’t knowthewholetruth.
He was relieved he hadn’t acted impulsively, fearing he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Sierra was hesitating when Jonathan, who had finished his phone call, camebackand said. “You should tell him the truth. Keeping things hidden isn’t always good.”
He had overheard some of their conversation and was relievedthatDicksonhadn’tlost all his senses.
If Dickson had attacked Sierra last night….
Justthinkingabout the possibility madeJonathanfeel inexplicably irritable.
Seeing Dickson’surgentdesire for thetruth, Sierra hesitated but finallysaid, “She was tortured to death.”
Dickson’s mind reeled. “Tortured to death?By whom?”
Sierra looked at Dickson with pity. “Ican’ttellyouthat. And don’t trytoinvestigateit. Youwon’tbeable to find anything. Daphne madeadealtogetout. She wanted money…
No.
Dickson broke down,suddenlyslapping himself hard. “Mysister died becauseofme. It was me!”

“No, you don’t understand, it’s me, I caused her death! Mom got sick, I had to study, take care of Mom, and work. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I went to see her. I blamed her for everything I was going through, Dickson cried out in agony.
Sierra was stunned; she hadn’t known these things. She knew Daphne had been down during those days;sheeven asked how to make a lot of money and get out.
Sierra asked what was wrong, but she didn’t say.
Later one day, Daphne suddenly told Sierra that she could leave and make a lot of money.
Afterthat, Sierra never heard from her again.
So, it was because of this. Sierra felt a deep sense of sorrow, unsure of what tosay.
After Dickson had cried for a while, she finally went over to comfort him. “Daphne wouldn’t want to see you like this. Don’t take the blame upon yourself.”
Sierra’s words didn’t seem to help much. From that day on, Dickson’s condition worsened, even showing signs of self–harm.
