......
It was as if a passerby in the night was looking forward to the guidance of a lamp, and without exception, Victoria, who was trapped in a dilemma, chose the same path as Waverly.
The reason why she chose this place as her first stop was not only to calm herself down, but also to evade the possible tracking of Trevor. She knew that with his temperament, he might not easily let her go. If she rashly went abroad, her whereabouts would soon be found by him.
Compared to Waverly's disappointment towards her feelings, Victoria's mood was even worse—it was complete despair! She couldn't bear to part with her feelings. Even if it was an unrequited love, she might still be able to test her own "grievance" to achieve her goal. At least she still had a chance to choose! However, her feelings couldn't change overnight.
Precisely because of this unchangeable fate, when she left, she chose to use the most decisive method, to bear all the pain and torture alone.
Although she accepted the status quo, it was like a live heart being gouged out. It was more than painful. So, on the second day after arriving at the temple, she fell ill. In a small town's hospital, she had been lying on the hospital bed for more than a week. She was so weak that she looked like a withered flower.
Her symptoms were similar to that of a cold. To be honest, it was not serious, but it was also serious. The root cause of it was depression. For this reason, the doctor also gave her some enlightenment and self-help books to read.
She looked at the sunshine outside the window every day and smelled the smell of disinfectant in the air, as if she had returned to the time when her legs were almost ruined and she was lying in bed every day. They had experienced a lot together and he had seen her at her worst. It was also him who pulled her back from the dark hell and brought her back to the bright world, making her withered heart bloom like flowers, little by little, good or bad. Now it had become a part of her memory. The more she could not get rid of it, the heavier Victoria's heart was. The more hurt she was, the more she lived each day and night in a trance. She still did not understand why the heaven was so cruel.
She could not figure it out. Victoria had been ill for less than half a month, and she could not eat or sleep at night. She almost became depressed.
When she finally got out of bed, the first thought that came to her mind was, "It's so meaningless to live!"
Once again, she had the thought of ending things. She still remembered that the first time she had this idea was the night after he forcibly snatched away her innocence. At that time, her mother's phone call stopped her from putting the fruit knife to her wrist.
Yes, at that time, she still had things to care about. She had parents who loved her, and she had the responsibility of supporting them. She couldn't leave in such an irresponsible manner!
She didn't expect that the second time she thought of this was actually because of him! But now, even her parents were no longer her parents. Even if they still loved her, as long as she thought of their possible reaction after they knew the truth, Victoria's heart ached. From the time she was born, she always felt that she was the luckiest person in the world. She had a rich family and loved everyone. Everything was impeccable for her. Now, everything was subverted, like a giant slap in her face.
Life was overcast and the future was overcast. All the things she cherished would no longer belong to her. She had to leave. There was not even a single person in this world who had a relationship with her. The existence made her suffer the most. She really did not know what was the point of her living.
Even if she left, if Selena really did not expose all this, Trevor would be really happy. In the future, would his parents really stay in her life for a lifetime? Would the truth really fall to sleep forever?
If she were to turn the tables one day, would she have to experience it again?
Thinking of the words of her mother, "She was born in Walmington City", and the DNA report from the two hospitals, she couldn't deceive herself.
