In the end, he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, “Fine, but as your friend, I still don’t want to see either of you get hurt. I was forced to side with him four years ago. I never hated you. Queeny, I hope you can understand that.”
Queeny said nothing. She looked as calm as always, but she actually was slightly touched.
“It’s all history,” she said in a flat voice.
Yeah, it was all history!
Injuries could be healed, painful memories could be forgotten, or even betrayers could also be forgiven.
But there was one thing she could never get over.
Her close comrades died because of her.
They were clearly aware of her relationship with Felix, but still chose to trust her. They trusted that she would keep her promise and wouldn’t betray their organization.
She had their pure loyalty and unconditional support. Although she and Felix were childhood sweethearts, they believed she wouldn’t hurt them because she was one of them.
But what happened to them in the end?
They were betrayed and suffered a bloody massacre. They were killed in regret and anger.
For countless nights, Queeny slept on the small iron bed in prison, looking at the dark sky above her head, lost in thought.
If she had a second chance, what would she choose to do?
She would never choose to be with Felix. She wouldn’t believe he could really be fair and wouldn’t make use of her love for him.
She was so naive!
So naive!
He made full use of her trust and affection for him to get in touch with key members of the Rosefinch Club. By deliberately spreading fake news, he easily killed all of them through their trust in her.
He was so cruel!
Why didn’t he kill her too back then?
Queeny had thought about that countless times but didn’t have an answer.
She was afraid she could never figure out the reason.
All of a sudden, she heard footsteps. Queeny was a little surprised and came back to her senses. She raised her head and saw Bella coming holding Felix’s arm. Bella seemed very mad.
“Felix, look! My cheek is all swollen. I just wanted to pour her a glass of water. But she gave me a slap. She’s the rudest person I’ve ever seen in this world.”
Holding Felix’s arm, she looked up at him with grievance and admiration.
Felix had an expressionless face. But he looked at Queeny unkindly.
“Did you say she slapped you?”
“Yes.”
“Just hit her back. Why did you bother to tell me?”
Upon hearing that, Bella was struck dumb.
Irvin made a cough and explained, “Felix, it’s not Queeny’s fault. She just poured a glass of water at Queeny, so Queeny fought back.”
“Queeny?”
Felix squinted and turned to look at him.
Irvin paused.
He realized he shouldn’t have said that, so he immediately stepped back and turned to stare at somewhere else, as if he had said nothing just then.
Felix withdrew his sight.
Queeny witnessed everything. She felt quite hurt but remained calm.
“Yeah, I slapped her. So what?”
