Clearly, they hadn’t fulfilled their duties as elders. Why were they so harsh on Bianca? They didn’t love her at all! She hated them. She had become so unbearable because of them, and they were to blame for it all.
Kevin said calmly, “Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth.”
“No! None of them ever loved me. Only you—you love me!” Bianca was frantic, clutching the iron rod as if it were her lifeline. She refused to believe Kevin’s kindness toward her was just out of obligation, something his grandfather had passed on to him.
