It's hard for Jane Sampson to believe, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, that James Carter's leg had become like this because of his own younger sister.
Such a good Mr. Carter.
And such a gentle Mr. Carter.
Even though she knew she had no right, Jane Sampson couldn't help but feel the urge to blame Jillian Carter at this moment.
If Mr. Carter's leg was the result of an uncontrollable accident that led to the current situation, perhaps it would just be a matter of regret, but the truth was not so.
Jane thought, Mr. Carter must have loved his sister dearly, so even though it was because of her that he became like this today, when he mentioned his sister, there was not the slightest hint of blame.
"Daddy, you don't need to explain, I know that you and mommy, and brother are blaming me," Jillian Carter kept repeating this sentence, biting her lip as if only by saying it over and over again could she assure herself that she hadn't done anything wrong over the years.
