Chapter 124 The Vow of Silence

The weight in his voice wasn’t lost on her.

Regina’s expression softened. “I understand, Timothy. From now on, besides training my psychic ability, I’ll work on my body too.”

At the very least, before her psychic ability could kill zombies-

She needed to be able to take out more with her bare hands. Including mutated ones.

Timothy gave a quiet “Mm” and an encouraging look. “You can do it. I believe in you.”

Regina’s cheeks flushed. She nodded eagerly.

The truth was, she’d been making progress lately.

Her control over her psychic ability was getting sharper. She just needed more practice before she told anyone.

In the other vehicle.

Matthew was driving. He noticed Ryan was still in a foul mood. “Still thinking about Cecelia?”

“No! Why the hell would I think about her?”

Ryan’s first instinct was denial. Brow knotted, jaw clenched. “I’m thinking about farming more mutated zombie crystals to trade Ivy for healing.”

“Huh. That’s actually not bad.”

Matthew glanced at him. “But have you considered that not getting hurt in the first place saves you a crystal? Isn’t that a better plan?”

“Is it?”

Ryan crossed his arms, flicked a fireball into his palm, and chucked it out the window. It landed on a pile of dead mutated rats and caught instantly.

“At my level, any time we run into something serious, I’m the one charging in first. Frontline. Getting hurt is unavoidable. The best I can do is not die. Maybe Ivy will take pity on an ex- teammate and save my life first …”

Matthew stared. “Since when do you play the sympathy card?”

Ryan’s eyes went wide. “That’s playing the sympathy card? When that moment comes, I really will be that pathetic, okay?”

“Fair. But there’s also a chance Cecelia won’t let Ivy heal you. You know your mouth got you into this. Calling her a freeloader, calling her useless. She holds grudges.”

Ryan was completely speechless. His expression shifted through several shades. “Then… then I guess I’ve got nothing to say.”

What else could he do?

Accept his fate.

Matthew looked at him with new surprise. “You’d accept your fate with Cecelia? I thought you were a sore loser.”

Ryan was speechless.

That one hit him like a knife to the chest.

Ryan’s face cycled from green to white. He couldn’t find a single word to fire back.

Matthew sighed. “Look, we all know Cecelia’s leaving isn’t just on you. Everyone shares some blame. Hendrick said it himself–what’s done is done. We can only move forward. That’s where the chances are.”

“That’s too deep. I don’t get it. Speak English.”

yan scowled.

Matthew barely suppressed an eye roll. “It means stop trying to apologize to Cecelia. Apologies don’t work. Remember when she used to apologize to you? What did you tell her?”

“How do you know about that?”

Ryan was stunned. “Were you eavesdropping?”

“Please. I was on the stairs about to call you guys down for dinner. But that’s not the point, is it?”

Talking to this guy was genuinely exhausting.

Matthew was starting to understand why Cecelia had kicked Ryan so many times.

“The point is, stop apologizing with your mouth and doing nothing. Look at Cecelia. When she

said she’d change, she actually did things that helped us. Actions.”

Ryan went quiet.

Matthew sighed again. “I’m not trying to lecture you or tell you to win Cecelia back. That’s not the point. I just hope you think before you talk. Or your mouth and your temper will destroy you one day.”

Ryan looked at him. “You think I can control that? Cecelia pushes my buttons on purpose. You know that.”

“Actually, I have an idea.”

Matthew gave him a long, pointed look. “Starting today, you take a vow of silence.”

“A what?”

Ryan looked like someone had just spoken to him in another language.

Matthew continued, “When you see Cecelia, if you can avoid talking, don’t talk. Just do things.”

Ryan didn’t know what to say.
