Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 58

Unimaginable things had happened within the last eight years. It turned out, committing the same mistakes was not a good idea.

"Mand, stop crying. Seeing you cry is killing me," Daniel said. "I hate it, the distance between us. I miss seeing your face close to me, beaming with radiance," he continued. Feeling sad, Daniel stretched out his hand in an attempt to touch Mandy's face, which seemed so close to him. As his hand got closer, he was woken up by the coldness of the glass between them. Thinking that he couldn't caress Mandy's cheeks ever again made Daniel reevaluate his whole life. He smiled bitterly as he thought about his life.

Daniel's loving eyes pierced straight into Mandy. It reminded her of the days when they were crazily in love with each other. 'He used to look at me like that, ' Mandy thought, and the memories made her burst into tears.

"Tell me, Daniel, why have you done this? I still can't believe it," she wailed. "I just want to know why you did it." Mandy was having a breakdown, slamming the glass over and over. In order to put her mind to rest, she clutched her hands and forced him to tell the truth.

She was confused. She knew he didn't love her anymore, but why did Daniel keep showing signs that he still loved her? Everything felt so ridiculous.

Daniel kept telling her to glow like the sunshine. But how could she smile after those things had happened? For Mandy, it felt like she was trapped inside a mysterious maze, and she had no idea how and when she could get out of it.

All her life, sunshine would always win over gloomy storms. This time, however, the storm would not go away, and it felt that the storm was slowly sucking out her soul.

The guards noticed Mandy's nervous breakdown and took her away from the glass. Knowing what they should do whenever something like this happens, the guards assisted her to sit down and relax on a chair. Once the visiting time was over, Daniel was taken away without notifying either him or Mandy. Tears streamed down on Mandy's cheeks.

Mandy felt that she was being eaten alive. Not only because Daniel had ended up behind bars nor because he had lied to her. She was feeling miserable because it was no longer possible to spend their whole life together the way they had planned it. Mandy felt that a part of her life had been completely ruined.

Many years later, Nathan would say to her that it was human nature for people to tell lies, especially in dire times. But Mandy did not give in to this thought at this moment, especially seeing Daniel so miserable. After all, she could only show Daniel some sympathy.

It took Mandy quite a while to pick herself up and walk out of the police station. She was slightly depressed, quite different from how she had arrived at the police station. Her face was flushed red, and her nose flared as she decided to get to the bottom of everything, and finally understand what had really happened.

Everything was different as she left the police station. She was feeling embarrassed as she didn't have a clue why everything had ended up the way it did.

Mandy held her hands above her eyebrows, covering the sun's intense heat. The sun's heat was getting to Mandy, and she started to feel dizzy, making her unable to think clearly.

It was believed that there were two things in this world that people couldn't possibly see through. One was the sun, and the other was the human heart.

Despite everything, Mandy still found the strength to reach her car. She sat inside it for a while. After so long, she finally calmed down and started the car.

At the gate of No. 1 High School, the students were already on their way out the school.

The summer vacation would start in two weeks. Fiona would be in the third grade in the next school year. However, Fiona wasn't looking forward to her vacation as she was worried about the college entrance exams she would be taking.

Fiona had a friend with her when Mandy arrived to pick her up. Her classmate wore her hair in a long pigtail. The two girls were talking and laughing.

It reminded Mandy of how simple it was back in her high school days before she had met Daniel. She also had a best friend, and they did almost everything together.

She remembered that they would also laugh together and walk side by side holding hands.

"What a surprise, Mandy! What are you doing here?" Fiona happily shouted when she saw her elder sister's car.

"I'm here to pick you up," Mandy said with a big smile on her face. Mandy was not looking well. She was restless, and she looked pale and weak.

"Oh! This is Tina, my best friend. Tina, meet my sister–Mandy," Fiona introduced the two to each other. She was excited to see the two important people in her life finally meet each other.

"It's nice to meet you!" Tina politely greeted.

"Nice to meet you, too. I've heard a lot of good things about you," Mandy said. "Where do you live, Tina? I'll drive you home," she offered. Seeing Tina and Fiona, Mandy's heart felt pure and full of youth again. The innocence of the two teenagers made her believe again that the world was not as cruel as she thought. They made her think that the world could actually be beautiful, pure, and a worthy place to live in.

"Oh, please don't bother. I live somewhere really far, and it would take you hours. I'll just get a bus," Tina politely refused.
