The Broken Warrior’s Daughter by Cooper
Chapter 655

Harriet cried as she said, "Delbert, do you know? I actually saw my father kill my mother in front of me. I witnessed such a scene... "But I couldn't do anything. My mother's despairing eyes are still fresh in my memory, but I couldn't do anything..."

Harriet's voice trembled with each word, evoking deep sympathy.

Delbert clenched his teeth, understanding Harriet's sense of helplessness.

He had experienced a similar feeling when his brother was swept away by the river in front of him, and he couldn't save him.

The pain of being unable to act in such situations was something he understood all too well.

However, with many years having passed since then, he was unsure how to comfort Harriet in this moment.

Perhaps what mattered most now was for Harriet to realize that she was never alone, and she could always confide in him.

As long as Harriet was willing, he would always be there to listen to her.

Harriet tightly held onto Delbert's clothes, crying in his arms for quite some time before gradually calming her emotions. The hospital wasn't the place for words.

Delbert gently wiped away her tears and then led her to the rooftop.

Taking a deep breath, Harriet adjusted her disheveled hair affected by the wind, her voice sounding particularly weary.

"I never thought that such a significant event could slip my mind after all these years. After losing my memory, it's as if nothing ever happened.

"I shouldn't have forgotten all these things. Clifton's grave mistakes shouldn't have been overlooked."

In just a few words, it was evident how much regret Harriet felt.

However, everything had already passed, and it was beyond her power to change it.

She was just a victim in this matter.

Delbert softly reassured, "Harriet, it's not your fault.

"You were young back then. Life doesn't always go as planned. You did your best."

After these words, Delbert reached out and gently ruffled Harriet's hair before pulling her into his embrace, continuing to console her.

"Now your mother is fine. She wouldn't want you to suffer like this. I'll be by your side on the road ahead. Your tears pain me."

With these words, Delbert lowered his head and lightly kissed away the tear tracks on Harriet's face.

Harriet's eyelashes fluttered slightly.

She warmth in her heart as she leaned closer into Delbert's embrace.

Meanwhile, Miriam was worried about Harriet's unstable emotions and feared she might do something foolish.

She followed them all the way to the rooftop and.

Upon opening the door, she discovered Harriet being comforted by Delbert.

Seeing the tender scene between the two of them, Miriam couldn't help but smile faintly.

The heavy burden in her heart finally lifted at this moment.

The scars of the past had healed.

With someone like Delbert willing to accompany Harriet now, it was a good ending.

She could finally rest assured.

Thinking that, Miriam smiled and decided not to disturb the two of them.

She quietly turned around and left.

"Harriet, don't be sad. I heard some jokes recently. Let me tell you."

Suddenly, Delbert spoke up.

Harriet looked up.

She had never heard Delbert tell jokes before.

Moreover, Delbert wasn't known for his humor in others' eyes.

Curious, she nodded.

Expecting to hear some funny anecdotes from Delbert, she was instead surprised by the dark humor that came out of his mouth.

Awkwardly describing them, Delbert seemed a bit embarrassed after finishing.

Seeing him like this, Harriet couldn't help but smile.
