"Don't forget what happened to Venna, your twin siblings, Leane and all of the people that had sacrificed themselves for you." Aria reminded him over and over again about the demise of the people that Cane loved and how it was all because of Iris's father.
Aria hugged him even tighter this time and didn't want to let go even when Cane's body stiffened, as he hated to be touched. All the touches that he knew in these past ten years disgusted him greatly.
"Don't forget about what I had to go through for you and what Ethan and Jace had to endure to keep you safe, what Gerald had done to us." Aria lifted her head and then looked at Cane with her teary eyes. "After what her father had done, how could you treat her so nicely?"
Cane's expression remained the same, as he listened to what she was saying, but he patted her back when she started crying in order to give her consolation.
