Chapter 0179
I was exhausted, so I decided to close my eyes and rest. But in my mind, there seemed to be the scent of blood lingering in the air.
It felt like there was an air of bloodthirstiness coming from. someone. Just from a slight sniff, I knew I had to get away. I massaged my temples painfully as Yasmine’s voice sounded from beside me.
“Other people have always seen lawyers with such prejudices. They always talk about how we’re always calculating and self–centered. I’ve also never seen a woman act so stubbornly because of a man.”
“Putting everything else aside, you’ll understand me once you meet someone you truly love.” I murmured softly, “The one who falls first will always be on the losing end.
Yasmine gave me a thumbs up and said, “Putting everything else. aside, earning money will always make me happier. I will never put myself in such a situation.”
Yasmine then sent me home, gave me a tight hug, and said her goodbyes. After I closed the door, I felt myself deflate completely.
I needed sleep and rest. I forced myself to enter my bathroom and take a bath. But I didn’t control the temperature well, causing hot water to rain down on me.
I jumped out of the shower as steam began filling up my entire
bathroom.
The sharp pain on my skin seemed to making me feel like I could break down ar
moment.
overwhelmed me,
melt away at any given
I began to think about how my life would be so much easier if I could just dissolve and disappear.
Almost as if I was trying to self–harm, I turned the water to the hottest setting I only turned it back to the coldest setting when couldn’t stand it anymore.
The alternating hot and cold water finally managed to calm my anxious and helpless heart, and I ended up taking a cold shower
instead
I thought I would have a sleepless night, but I slept surprisingly well. I almost couldn’t wake up in time.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon the next day. I felt my mind spin as I alternated between feeling hot and cold.
