Ke Li's gaze dimmed. She raised a hand to cover her face, her eyes rimmed with red. "It's my fault..."
"If I hadn't become friends with Alia back then, maybe North Beast City wouldn't have suffered this calamity, and my Beast Husband, Father, and brothers wouldn't have met this fate..."
'It's my fault...'
Seeing her state, Su Yu's heart ached. She stood and gently hugged her. "No, it's not your fault. It's the villain's fault."
"She's the one who trampled on and betrayed your kindness. She's the one who tried to imprison you in the name of friendship. It's her fault, not yours."
"What we need to do now is eliminate the villain for good and avenge the fallen."
Su Yu patted her back, then gently pulled her away and wiped the tears from her cheeks. Her voice was gentle, filled with a soothing power. "So don't cry anymore. Tears won't solve anything."
