Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 314

Agnes knew clearly that in this lifetime, reconciliation between her and Rebecca was impossible.

But deep in her heart, there was still a fragment of the beauty they once shared.

The corners of her eyes reddened slightly as she asked, "What did the letter say?"

"I'll send it to you in a bit."

He fell silent for a few seconds.

Then he said in a hoarse voice, "Agnes, I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well. You got hurt. I feel so useless.

"I've always been by your side, yet I couldn't do anything."

Agnes froze for a moment at his sudden apology and said, "What are you talking about, Raymond? Why are you apologizing? Why are you saying this?"

"It's nothing. It's late. Get some rest."

"Raymond, explain yourself clearly. Have you been avoiding me these past few days?"

Raymond paused for a moment. "No."

"Fine. Where are you? I'll come find you. Right now."

Raymond's voice turned slightly flustered. "I-I'm not in Grandridge. Agnes, actually... I'm in Montara."

"Montara? Where? I'll come find you."

"Don't be ridiculous. I'm here for business. It's something important for the family. Wait until I get back, then I'll see you."

Agnes replied, "Is that so? I won't take much of your time. Just a few minutes."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Raymond's tone suddenly turned cold.

"What are you coming for? Agnes! What are we to each other? Aren't we just friends? Do you have no sense of boundaries?"

Agnes fell silent. She was stunned. This was the first time Raymond had spoken to her so harshly.

After a brief pause, she said softly, "You're right. I overstepped. I'm sorry. As long as you're okay, that's enough. I won't bother you."

The call ended abruptly.

On the other end, Raymond clenched his phone tightly, struggling to hold himself together.

Suddenly, with a loud crash, the phone shattered against the wall.

The next day, Agnes received a photo from Raymond. It was a handwritten letter.

She recognized the handwriting immediately. It was Rebecca's.

She slowly swiped open the image and read carefully.

"Agnes, it's me, Rebecca.

"By the time you read this, I'm probably no longer in this world.

"I know that no matter what I say now, you won't believe me anymore.

"I've wronged you. I don't even dare to face you one last time.

"I betrayed your trust, and I wasted everything you ever gave me.

"You were right. I'm greedy, selfish, jealous, and flawed to the core.

After a long while, she steadied herself. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression turned cold again.

She didn't believe a single word from Rebecca.

No matter how emotional and moving the letter was, Agnes remained guarded, not letting her defenses drop even for a moment.

But when she saw the sender's name—Raymond—an inexplicable irritation rose in her chest.

After recovering a bit more, Agnes returned to the Tidewhisper Lily studio.

She buried herself in work every day, busy and focused, as if life had returned to normal.

And yet, something was missing. There was an emptiness she couldn't ignore.

Raymond seemed to have vanished from the world. He would occasionally send her brief messages, checking in on her.

However, Agnes never replied. Maybe she was sulking, or maybe she was avoiding something.

During this time, Neal began appearing around her more frequently.

Even his mother approached Agnes, apologizing for her past behavior.

In front of Neal, she even offered Agnes a family heirloom bracelet.

Agnes declined politely, feeling confused by the sudden change.

One day, Agnes stopped by the studio, gave a few instructions, and then left.

Today, she was heading to Frank's hospital for a follow-up on her eyes.
