His family members were all dead, but their murderer was asking to let go of the small grievances. Who could easily let it go?
"I don't know much about Hendrix's matter. Besides, we're divorced. I can't say anything about it." I could not smile any more. There was noexpression on my face, and I tried my best to maintain modesty to show Eddison respect.
