Chapter 402
When Caroline got back to the apartment, she stayed on the couch without moving. She didn’t
think of anything, nor did she do anything. She simply stared at the ceiling in a daze.
But she was still in great anguish. It felt like her heart was being stabbed and cut by countless
knives, over and over again.
Sometimes, she hurt so badly that she could barely breathe. She even thought that the pain might
torture her so much that she would die.
But she didn’t. She remained alive.
Caroline could distinctly feel each wave of pain in every heartbeat as she breathed.
Caroline hugged her knees and curled up into a ball.
She tried to recall the pain from her breakup with Eddy in order to cover up the pain she felt now.

Caroline looked up at the waiter and was horrified to find that even the waiter’s face had
