ment that fate has been unfair to you?" Edith couldn''t help but ask.

"I think, what fate has destined for us to endure, if we can''t bear it calmly, it is instead a kind of weakness." The expression on the wheelchair-bound girl''s face at this moment was similar to that when she saved her friend that day.

Edith pouted, "You''re just the type to take things as they come! Seeing you like this always makes me feel sorry for you."

"I am lucky too. I have such a great friend like you, don''t I?" Charlene bent down and stroked her friend''s hair.

Edith happily leaned her head on Charlene''s knees. In the past, she often willfully scolded her friend for their differing views; but by Charlene''s side, she always unconsciously became childish, just like when she was at her mother''s side as a child.

She started to cheerly imagine the upcoming leisurely time in the countryside, talking to Charlene about her various plans with delight.

Charlene sighed, "It''s good for Brother to take a breather. His strings are too tight. The past two months of Terror have made him worry too much. Raphael''s heart is very soft. Like the generous Citizen Danton, he looks forward that this terror could soon curb its pace."

"Andre and his collegues will make the best judgment for the Republic based on reason. We have to trust the two Committees." Edith replied indifferently.

"Have mercy on Raphael, my dear friend! Just for my sake." Charlene held Edith''s both hands and made a plea.
