She Turned Her Grief Into Wings novel Chapter 150

His gaze locked onto Shera's face, tracing the lines of her brows, her eyes, down to her lips.

It was the exact same face as before.

Yet...

"Never mind."

He was suddenly terrified to ask. Those lips had delivered far too many agonizing words to him lately.

Telling him, over and over, that she didn't love him anymore.

Reminding him, time and again, that their relationship was nearing its absolute end.

He was terrified to even speak to her now, paralyzed by the fear that she would only push him further away.

"It's nothing. Get some rest."

Caden stood up, cast one last glance at the plate of apples that had already begun to oxidize and brown slightly, and walked toward the door.

The sound of something being dumped into the trash can echoed from behind him. His footsteps hitched for a fraction of a second.

He lowered his eyes, hiding the devastation in them, and stepped out of the hospital room.

The finals began at 10:30 AM. Shera had prepared everything she needed well in advance.

Pearce had spoken to the nurses ahead of time, ensuring her IV drip was finished before ten and pushing back all her checkups for the day.

The wound in her lung wasn't massive, so she was healing quickly and was already capable of sitting completely upright.

The attending physician noted that she was in good condition and could even attempt to stand soon.

Taking her physical condition into account, the organizing committee had arranged for Shera to be the very first presenter.

The competition was broadcasted live online, with the official website opening a public voting system that accounted for twenty percent of the final score.

Even though a month had passed, the hype surrounding the competition hadn't faded—in fact, thanks to the recent car crash, the attention had skyrocketed.

The moment the official stream went live, over two hundred thousand viewers flooded in, their comments instantly blanketing the screen.

Unlike the roaring crowds of an in-person event, the finals were on a completely different level of prestige.

A high-definition livestream, a panel of top-tier judges, real-time public voting, and hundreds of thousands of spectators watching online.
