Vivian slowly pulled her hand out from under the quilt. She felt overwhelmed with shame and anger from the bottom of her heart.
Was she really such a shameless person like he said she was?
Why did her heart hurt so much when she saw Chow leave with Celine in his arms?
The rain outside the window kept getting heavier and heavier. She could hear the sound of raindrops pelting against the roof through the closed window.
The sky was dark because it was already nighttime, but the weight of the atmosphere still made her heart feel heavy and pressured.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning bolted across the distant horizon. Vivian subconsciously shrank under the quilt and shivered as the thunder roared in the next instant.
"Ah!" She gasped and covered her ears with her hands. She was the most afraid of thunderstorms like this.
Although Chow had always hated her, he would still sneak into her room whenever there was a thunderstorm. Even if his ultimate purpose of doing that was for something else, Vivian still couldn't help wishing that he would appear.
The thunder cracked loudly around her. Fear was seeping into her bones, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Vivian dove under the blankets, covering herself from head to toe. She shamefully wished that Chow was here to hold her now,
even though he had just bullied her before this.
The thunder was too terrifying. It seemed like only his embrace could comfort her.
However, she knew that he would not come today. Sister Celine was in his room now. Perhaps, he was also holding her intimately because of the thunder.
Vivian's heart ached again as she pictured the scene in her head. She curled up on the bed and held the quilt tightly in her hands, not daring to let go.
