Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: 225-They Want Me To Cry

Helanie:

"Lamar! How--how did we not know she would do something like that?" Jenny was crying beside us, asking the same question over and over again.

The cold weather didn’t bother me that night. I had been in shock. We were gathered outside the hostel, the sun was slowly coming up. The night ended up being the absolute worst for all of us.

Especially for Lucy.

"Jenny, it was not your fault," Penn had been trying to comfort his sister, but she kept blaming herself.

I knew it wasn’t her fault. It was the tenth floor’s fault. She was definitely on the tenth floor, and that entity helped her free herself from the pain in a way that Lucy never imagined.

That is what the entity promised me as well. She offered everyone different help. For Lucy, she found it easy to get it done and free herself.

"Helanie," Lamar sat next to me, placing his hand on my shoulder, but I couldn’t even cry a tear. I just felt my body being numb. All the other students were crying and screaming in terror.

The news was, Lucy jumped from the rooftop, but the door was not opened. She wasn’t at the rooftop, but who would listen to me?

"The ambulance took her. She will be fine," Lamar kept insisting on her being fine when there was no way she could be fine. That big fall when she was in her human form--she would need to transition to heal, but she cannot when she is not even waking up.

"Helanie, please at least say something," Lamar continued to rub my hand between his hands, worried for me.

"Easy now, kids, she is taken to the hospital where she will receive the best care. I understand you are all upset, and I don’t blame you. But I will need to speak with everyone to know where they were when she went to the rooftop because definitely someone locked the door behind her," the warden made an announcement, sounding much nicer today.

But she was wrong about one thing. Lucy was not at the rooftop.

However, I had no strength in my body to argue with anyone. I just didn’t even feel like I had any soul left in my body.

I just sat on the front porch stairs and stared at the sky.

"Miss Agrona!" Lamar raised his hand to get her attention. I was listening to everything and everyone around me. I just didn’t feel like talking or crying. Heck! Even breathing was such a big deal now.

"I don’t think she is fine," Lamar complained, his hand tapping on my shoulder.

"Really? Let me see," the warden pushed the students away as she made her way to me. She reminded me of that evil principal from ’Matilda’. Sometimes she really acted that way.

She approached me and knelt down, her eyes scanning me.

"She looks fine to me," she replied.

"If fine means someone who is half dead," Penn’s voice was odd in the moment. I thought he didn’t even want to speak with me again.

"She is going through stuff. Lucy was her best friend. And she saw her--" Penn went silent when he probably noticed the other distraught students freaking out at his words.
