Chapter 23: Ximen Jong
P.O.V - David.
Two days after shamefully crying like a child.
As the sun sets, I squat at the edge of a hill, looking below into a compound with wooden sticks for fence.
In the compound was a little girl around the age of eleven playing around.
The mother of this child was inside the building and had been silently mourning since the day before yesterday.
She tries to put up a facade that everything was fine before her daughter but I could see it was only a matter of time before she breaks down before that same daughter.
I brought this upon this family.
This is a family I have ruined.
This was the family of the guard I had killed who told me he had a family.
I have made this woman a widow and the daughter without a father.
How would she feel when she eventually finds out that her father whom she has been looking up to was never going to come back home.
