The power of one person is very small.
In the months that followed, he continually gave interviews, backed up evidence, and handed it over to the police.
He also encountered death threats.
When he saw the bloody severed hand, his hands trembled for a moment.
His lips pressed into a straight line and took deep breaths.
I watched with heartache, thinking he was scared.
I wasn't sure if I was comforting him or myself: "It's going to be okay.All will be well."
A tear fell, splashing on the floor like a flower.
His expression was mournful.
It was the first time I had seen him so sad.
"Sophie, is this the life you used to live? During those months we were apart."
I was stunned, as those terrible memories I had buried resurfaced.
It was more than death threats, it was four horrifying photos being sent to the orphanage.
It was the headmaster's scolding, the sound of someone breaking the glass when I was alone at home at night.
It was the helplessness when several strong men demanded the evidence from me.
But my heart could never be at peace if justice is not served, so I insisted on exposing the truth.
I opened my lips but could not speak.
Looking at me, he said hoarsely, "Fool."
Yet he also cried, smiling through tears, "My Jasmine, you are a good person."
But this good person can't even give you a hug.
