Then, he continued to ask, "Then what were you doing at that time?"
What was she doing?
She was arguing with that woman, that she hadn't bumped into the little girl. Wasn;t that why she wasn't able to save unconscious her mother-in-law in the passenger seat?
Her heart was once again pierced by a sharp pain.
The police officer's questions were like a sharp ice-cold blade—the pain she felt in heart was so excruciating, as if she is dying by a thousand cuts!
"At that time, the little girl's mother came over and said that I knocked down her daughter..." Holding back her sobs, guilt and self-blame that tormented her, she continued, "She wanted me to prove that I didn't knock down her daughter, so... I wasn't able to pay attention to the car behind me."
The police officer paused again.
"Then what happened after that? Didn't you hear the sound of the collision?"
"Yes."
