"Gary, no one is capable of hurting his own children, but you are an exception!"
Seeing that I was about to dig out the dog's urn, Linda was so anxious that she covered her chest and cried.
"Gary, I...I don't think I can hold on any longer. Please help my dog!"
Gary covered his face, which I slapped, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and kicked me in the lower abdomen fiercely.
"You crazy woman! You hurt Linda over a stray dog. If anything happens to Linda, I'll make you pay with your life!"
My abdomen was cramped with pain, and cold sweat ran down my cheeks.
"Okay. I'll let her pay with her own life today!"
I could imagine that I was like a monster at that moment.
Perhaps my resolute tone frightened Gary. He cleared his throat and offered me a way out.
"As long as you help Linda to settle her dog's grave and apologize to her, I will forgive you for what you did today!"
His condescending look seemed ridiculous to me.
He asked me to dig my daughter's grave and apologize to the murderer who indirectly killed my daughter!
At that moment, hopelessness and sorrow took over me.
I spit on the dog's urn and said in a rebellious tone,
"Bah!"
