Chapter 134: Self-guilt
Fortunately, they discovered a carriage back to the inn, and a witch doctor was attending to Enoch. Scarlet found herself unable to control her emotions at the sight of Enoch in such a critical state.
This is all because of you!
Now he’s going to die just like your daughter!
You are such a selfish mate!
Guilt flooded her thoughts, and she couldn’t hold back the tears, her entire body trembling at the prospect of losing her mate. The realization struck her hard, she had put his life in jeopardy, and now he faced the possibility of death because of her.
She acknowledged her own selfishness and began to see how much she had changed, resembling the very family that had betrayed her. They were worse, but if she was becoming like them, then she had no reason to feel betrayed.
Overwhelmed by the pain, Scarlet fled the room where Enoch was being cared for and hastily exited the inn. "Scarlet!" Aurora called after her, rushing to hold her, but Damien restrained her, preventing her from going after Scarlet.
"What are you doing? We need to go after her," Aurora pleaded, fearing for Scarlet.
"We can’t. She needs time alone right now. I will fetch her later, if she is yet to be back." Damien insisted, holding Aurora firmly.
"But Enoch wouldn’t want her to be absent when he wakes up," she argued, unconvinced.
"Would you rather see her suffering in here, or let her release her emotions outside?" Damien questioned.
