It's been a month since Pearl got discharged from the hospital and moved to Patterson's mansion. Joseph's parents used to pay her frequent visits, everytime apologizing on their son's behalf. A counselor was appointed for Pearl.Everyone around her used to cheer her up in their own kind. But Pearl was slowly becoming deaf to their voices and blind to the efforts. Her physical wound was healing with time, but she herself was sinking in the ocean of mental trauma. Though no one in the house expressed a word regarding her condition, they knew that they were gradually losing her in this battle. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson was blaming themselves for giving their daughter to a person like Joseph. On the other hand, Michael too was going through an internal guilt trip. Whenever he used to see his sister, all lost in her dark world, he felt his legs shaking and heart throbbing with immense pain. He felt like a coward who couldn't even confront Joseph for breaking his sister's heart
