Chapter 1793 Respect(Incest/Taboo Sex):>>Ep5

• Hours later when I walked through the front door of the emergency room. Mom, Dad and Connie were in a waiting room. Karen was in surgery. Having been in combat, I saw a lot of guys scared, terrified, but I had never seen such terror on a face as I did on Connie's as she looked towards the operating room door where they took Karen. With no thought, I grabbed Connie and hugged her as hard as I could without hurting her. Not sure if she would have noticed, in any event. She had no objection. She put her head on my shoulder. I could feel the tears on my neck. Spoke to her for the first time in over 10 years, "Connie, I can't think of anything to say that would help you. If I could, then accept that I feel terrible..."
• She didn't say anything. She just hugged me tighter.
• Whatever hatred I felt for her was instantly gone. Now, I still felt like she was despicable, but I'd have to be a monster myself if I couldn't sympathize with her over her child, my niece. I could, however, no longer hate her though I still didn't like her. She was suffering like I had been those years ago.
