Li Jia wiped at her eyes, trying to push past the overwhelming sorrow gripping her chest.
Her heart ached, not just for Yao Jing but for Zhao Tian, who had suffered in silence.
Her voice trembled as she finally spoke, "What do we do now?"
Ji Shuang let out a sigh and replied "We need to wait,"
"It will take time for him to get over Jing'er's death. Something like this... it isn't something one can simply move on from overnight."
Li Jia bit her lower lip and her hands clenched into fists on her lap.
Velnorah, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, "But will he ever get over it?"
"T-Tian loved her. Losing her like that... and right in front of his eyes..." Her words trailed off, unable to complete the thought.
Ji Shuang nodded her head "It will take time. You both have to put up with him patiently. Right now, his heart is filled with grief, anger, and perhaps he might be blaming himself."
