538 Only you can bear my silence

Anaya sat back and heard what Noah revealed to her, and she tried to listen to every word that spilt out of his lips. There was so much that had happened, and she couldn't believe the Sullivans had put Noah through it. Going as far as to killing him was the height of things not going back ever the same. 

She didn't understand what Noah might have gone through, and she wanted to comfort him. But at the same time, she didn't know if that was what he wanted. She said, 

"Forgive me, but I am sorry that your family were the worst people I have ever known. The more I hear, the angrier I turn… how did you bear it all these years?" She asked with a frown on her forehead. She knew Noah was resilient, but to stand firm like a pillar as if everything was alright was the hardest thing to do.
