"...what do you mean...?" Scar's voice shakes with fear when | get close. She shootsan indifferent glance like

she doesn't seeat all. Her eyes are red in tears, and her fists shaking.

What could Jack Fuller possibly say to her? She wasn't this upset even when she gavethose files.

"You have always thought I faked your adoption file," Jack Fuller says with a heavy sigh, "You were right. | didn't

adopt you from the orphanage. | found you in North Dakota, in your mother's cold arms."

"You are lying!" Scar hisses at Jack Fuller like a hurt little kitten. Her ears would fly backward if she had any. She

shakes her head and tears fall down but she doesn't even feel that. She turns to grab Adrian's shirt with a

wronged look, and | glare over at Adrian. "Take her out of here," | tell Adrian before | turn to Jack Fuller, "You don't

"Do you know what this means to Ava?" Jack Fuller manages to keep his tone calm, but cold with a sullen look is

the best he can do.

"Ava is cured, and if Scarlett wants to go to another city, it's within her rights," | answer, hearing my voice as

cold as his. | understood him exploiting Scar a bit before. His daughter was ill, and he wanted his other daughter

to help out. Not the nicest action, but it was out of love. | counted on Scar for the sreason, but it's no longer

justified.

But things have changed. Ava is cured now, and she can wait in lines. like everyone else, if anything were to

happen.

Jack Fuller observeswith his foxy eyes. After a moment, he sighs with a slow nod: "You care about your wife, |

respect that. But you don't know what you are sending her to. Her junkie father abandoned her mother, who died

under a bridge with her in his arms. You let her go now, that's what she will find out."

He takes a step back, looking atright in the eyes: "I'll leave the decision to you. | won't intervene again."

In Jack's eyes, | see his cold calculation. He wantsto stop Scar. If he "intervenes", he will break the cold, dark

I turn around, and not sure if it's by accident, or if Scar felt something, she looks back right at me, her watery

eyes looking atwith timid caution and slight confusion. Like a stray kitten trying to trust a human trying to

get close, scared but brave, trying to calculate yet innocent.

Like... the little Ava | saved that day.

For a moment | cruelly wish that she has heardand Jack, so | don't have to choose between losing my chance

with her, or breaking her heart yet again.

Adrian looks over at me, he frowns dangerously. When | start walking over, he feels something and he pulls Scar

behind him. Startled, Scar sticks her head out of Adrian's shoulder. Her trust in him burns my eyes, and | can

only keep them open as | feel the sourness turn them red as | finish my pilgrimage.

"Sebastian," Adrian warnswith a dangerous tone.

"I'm sor

"Scar, chwith me, or you don't get these, ever."

As the shock in Scar's eyes turns into burning hatred, | feel my heart silently breaking into pieces in my chest.
