In the past, he had just wanted to nip Melea’s love in the bud. That was why he had said those cruel words without regard to the cost.
Melea thought that she no longer cared about those things in the past, but when she saw Samuel again and heard the regret in his voice, the memories of all that had transpired rushed to the forefront of her mind again, even though she had buried them in the deep recesses within her head.
“Samuel, you’re asking me to give you a chance, but you didn’t give me one in the past. When we were trapped in the mountain valley and when I asked you to give me the medication so that I could protect my legs, why didn’t you give me a chance or hope?”
