Britney could feel her husband holding her from behind to pull her away from her daughter. She could even hear her husband's voice, but his words did not enter her brain.
When she heard that Roxy's plane had disappeared and it was possible that all the passengers would not survive, Britney felt herself being hit by a storm and her body being carried away by a whirlwind making her despair.
But Britney still hoped that her eldest daughter was safe, and she had even prayed throughout her flight to this place.
A glimmer of hope appeared when she saw Roxy in this room, and she felt thrilled that her daughter was still alive.
But why does everyone who lives in this house put on a long face? Why do they all look like people who are grieving?
Britney's feelings became uneasy, and she instantly questioned the whereabouts of her youngest daughter. Since she arrived at this house, Britney had not met Kaylee and like a blackout in the middle of the city, what Britney saw was darkness.
"The truth is… They switched places and… it was Kaylee on the plane. I'm sorry. I didn't know the crash would happen. I failed you, brother."
Britney couldn't hear Pierre's words once she heard her two daughters swap places.
"So… the one on the plane is… my Kaylee?" Britney was filled with deep sorrow, even more so than she heard the bad news about the Roxy plane that disappeared. "My poor baby was on that plane?? How? Why?" Britney was too blind by the lost that she did something she would regret all her whole life.
"It's you! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!!" No, it's not. Britney knew it was not Roxy's fault deep down in her heart.
But right now, she needed someone to blame. Before this, she felt miserable but wished that her eldest daughter was still alive. She had even prepared herself to stay strong so she could comfort Kaylee in case Roxy's body wasn't found.
As soon as she saw Roxanne in this room, her hopes suddenly skyrocketed, and she believed her prayers had been answered. Her daughter is fine… both daughters are alive and well.
And yet… apparently Kaylee is gone?
Britney felt herself who had just flown high to celebrate something suddenly dropped into the bottomless abbys. Her entire nervous system became tense, and she could no longer think.
"Britney! It's not her fault," Britney could hear her husband and brother-in-law's voice, but she didn't hear what they were saying. Instead, her current feelings were getting bigger and filled with anger.
She marched back to her crying daughter and shook Roxy like she was a puppet doll. "Give me back my daughter to me, you evil girl! How could you do this to your sister!? Huh! Why? Tell me why?"
Britney needed an answer… No. What she needed right now was a bright spot in her dark sight. She never thought that losing her youngest daughter would make her fall into a dark hole, so she blamed everyone, including Roxy.
"Britney, calm down."
But she wouldn't listen and kept going on letting her rage went rampage.
"Because of you, I lost my daughter! Why do you have to teach her to switch places? Huh?" She knew since childhood, Roxy had a naughty idea that could fool all adults.
On the other hand, Kaylee was a sweet girl who almost never made adults mad at her. But… sometimes, Roxy would teach her a thing or two to play a prank on the adults.
Roxy was a bad influence for Kaylee and now she brought her to her doom.
"I regret that I brought you into this world!" declared Britney without knowing her words killed her daughter's feeble soul.
Britney felt her body being pulled violently by someone and a pair of eyes filled with anger stared at her intently.
"Britney! You've gone too far! Why did you say something like that? Do you realize you have gone mad?"
"So, it's my fault now? You blame me? If she had never taught her switching places, then my Kaylee would never have died!"
"Then, do you expect Roxy to die?"
Britney gasped in surprise at his question.
"Did you expect Roxy who was on that plane and now she's coming home with just a name?"
"I… I…"
"You are crazy if you think like that!"
"Brother, Roxy is unconscious." stated Pierre when he realized that Roxy's sobbing had stopped and the girl's body didn't move anymore.
Instantly Britney and her husband turned to look at their daughter and they both panicked when they saw Roxy was lying unconscious on the floor. When Britney was about to touch her daughter, her husband slapped her hand roughly.
"Don't touch her. You have no right to worry about her." this was the first time Hades was rude to his wife.
Although Hades was known to be a cruel man and merciless toward anyone who made mistakes, Hades had never been rude or tried to dominate his wife.
But this time… Hades felt angry with his wife's unreasonable attitude.
Gently and caringly, Hades III picked up his daughter and laid her on the bed. Pierre immediately checked his niece's condition and breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that Roxy was only asleep.
"She's fine. She's only sleeping."
Britney, who heard it, also breathed a sigh of relief, but her tears started to flow non-stop.
She didn't want her two daughters to be harmed, and now she regretted it very much. Why did she lose control and put all the blame on her poor daughter? The sound of her sobs being heard by her husband made Hades glance at her sarcastically.
"Clear your head off, and then we'll talk. I don't want to talk to my daughter's heartless mother."
'Heartless mother.' That suited her, and it made her cry even more.
'I'm sorry. I'm sorry..' Now she understood why her daughter kept saying the word because right now, she didn't know what else to say to her daughter aside from 'I'm sorry'.
