Chapter 0167
as afraid of
Nicholas was a mess, but I didn’t dare to turn back seeing his ashen expression, and his dark, lifeless eyes.
With the last bit of rationality I had, I called for a nurse to help him. I didn’t even stop to think if a petite nurse could support such a tall man. I fled the hospital as fast as I could.
Orange petals swirled about in the wind. Aside from my parents‘ graves, I had no idea where I could go to cry freely. It seemed that, as adults, even crying required a reason and a place.
thought I would let it all out in a fit of hysteria. But when I finally knelt before my parents‘ gravestones, the intense anger, resentment, and bitterness all mellowed. The sad truth was, I seemed to have lost the ability to cry.
Or maybe the twisted relationship between me and Nicholas was something I couldn’t even confess to my parents. All that was left was a melancholic sadness that I had to find a way to deal with on my own. It felt like I came here just to leave a bouquet to express my longing for them.
When Claudia called, I had no idea how long I had been sitting there.
only knew that the sun had risen in the east and set in the west.
I stared blankly at the twilight sky when her voice, low and hurried, came through the phone. “Ariana, you’ve met Jasmine, right?”
It sounded like she was calling from a hidden corner. Her familiar voice sent chills down my spine, making me uncomfortable in my already unsettling surroundings.
I finally understood what she meant when she previously suggested
wapan forces. Claura coudn’t start any fermate presence around
vet if a mosquito flew by, she’d roll up her sleeves and let
d bite her insteart
Who was she? Should I know? I had overheard them earlier. Their relationship seemed close and ambiguous, but not quite like lovers.
What did you say. I blurted out.
there was anything I cherished most during my time with Nicholas, if was this honeymoon trip.
I treated it like ‘snered ritual, a chance to make up for past regrets, a symbol that marked the boundary between the joys and sorrows of our relationship
Not only did he deceive me, but even his mother my mother in law, who had cherished me dearly for four years kept it from me.
A student he sponsored? What kind of “a friend’s daughter” was that?
Claudia’s words felt like a punch to any gut. A sharp jolt of pain shot through me, and it didn’t fade away immediately. Instead, it spread slowly and intensified with each passing moment.
