It took a while for Mr.Jade to respond also. '' And here I thought I will be able to do it before you even find out anything at all. Guess not everything is going my way is it? So today's the day she died. But that doesn't concern me. As she was not with me back then. I hardly care whether she's alive or dead.

He was crying, crying to bring out all the emotions and sadness within him out as soon as possible. His dad trying to remove his past, his mom's death, his dad who doesn't care about him nothing was making sense. He just wants to tell someone about the storm within him happening now.He wants to tell her everything right now. Maybe that will help him to recover. To feel the warmth of another person. To feel the kindness from her, that is all he needs right now. Comforting words and a person who would listen to whatever he might say.", Why are you?" Lucy asked patting him on the head. " My dad, he's, he's the devil who only cares about himself. He's a demon, he doesn't care about anyone. He hates me, he hates my mom and my dad he only cares about himself.

Why did you lie to me even though I came back home you still didn't tell me?'' he asked again.Lucy was able to hear now, the sounds of the falling rain as it was hitting the ground.
