Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 370

"I’ll take you home."

Hearing those words made my eyes unexpectedly well up with tears. After all these years, it felt like no one had ever said that to me. Gregory was the first.

I tried my best to keep my eyes wide open, holding back the tears, and looked at him, "Gregory, if I'm not Lily, can we still be friends?"

I couldn't believe I was entertaining such a ridiculous thought, clinging to the bit of warmth, even if it was just being friends, only friends.

After hearing my words, Gregory raised an eyebrow, smiled at me, and casually uttered two words, "No way."

I somehow made my way back to my room, lost in thought. It wasn't until I sat on the couch for a while that I realized I hadn't even figured out whether his response was to the first or the second part of my question. Was it impossible for me not to be Lilliana? Or was it impossible for us to remain friends?

"Hey, just got back?" Christine had just finished showering and asked while drying her hair.

Snapping back to reality, I nodded, "Yeah."

She applied a face mask and plopped beside me, smoothing it out with her fingers, curiously asking, "What was the rush with Gregory looking for you? What happened?"

"He thinks I'm Lilliana." I unscrewed a bottle of water, ready to take an allergy pill.

Christine grabbed my arm. "Have you eaten anything? You're just going to take medicine?"

"I did." I smiled.

I was still allergic, so Gregory didn't let me have sandwiches. But before he took me upstairs, we had dinner in the restaurant nearby. I picked up the tab. Yes, I did.
