Chapter 389
I answered the incoming video call, and my eyes fell on Queenie’s thin and haggard face. I found it to be a painful sight.
Since Felix’s surgery, I had been busy drawing and finding time to take care of him. My mood became so depressed that I even lost contact with my close friends.
Whenever someone called, I was not in the mood to talk much and would hang up quickly.
I didn’t expect that in just two months of not seeing each other, Queenie would become so thin. The weariness and sadness in her eyes were so heavy that she no longer looked like a woman in her early 20s.
She looked more like an elderly person who had experienced life’s hardships.
She had always been a positive and optimistic person. She had a particularly straightforward personality. The only thing that could torment her like this would be love.
Since college, Queenie and Fylnn had been entangled with each other. They had been. through many ups and downs over the years.
If someone were to say that there was no bond between them, I wouldn’t believe it. Flynn had once gone to great lengths for Queenie, disregarding everything for her.
But love sometimes really wasn’t worth much in the face of reality.
At least among the people I had seen, none had abandoned their families and businesses for love. Matthew had liked me for so many years, but parting ways was still our final outcome.
Fortunately, I hadn’t fallen in love with him when I discovered our problem and managed to stop it in time.
As for Queenie, she had poured her heart into loving Flynn for many years. Now that she was heartbroken, it was very painful.
I nestled back into my bed, put on my earphones, and got prepared to have a good chat with her. In her current state, I was really afraid she might do something irrational.
“Queenie, why have you become so thin?”
We used to talk about everything, but now that we were separated, we could only stay in touch through the phone. All I could do now was to comfort her and to cry with her.
