Chapter 193: WILL
The tension was so real for Will when he clasped the necklace around Hanna’s neck. He didn’t know whether it was enough to show his feelings for her, or if the message was delivered well. He mulled over a lot of possibilities and what he had to do to make it work.
However, that was also when he saw her coming closer, his mind froze and his first thought was; he was being attacked, thus his instinct told him to defend himself. Everything happened so fast. Even Will couldn’t process the fact that Hanna was harmless. She was not an enemy and it was absolutely ridiculous and impossible for her to harm him.
Yet, his twisted mind read the whole thing differently because Hanna moved closer to him so abruptly.
The sight of her crowding him overlapped with another unpleasant memory and the next thing he knew; he had pushed her so hard, as if he was fighting for his life.
And when the murky clouds in his mind finally cleared up and he could see clearly, he knew what horrible thing that he had done, but his body couldn’t move. He was shut down from reality and could only watch Hanna bleeding profusely before she fled the room without him getting to explain himself or trying to run after her.
It took him a long time before he could function properly again. He felt very horrible when he had to clean the broken table with Hanna’s blood on the floor. He felt like crying, but there were no tears that he could shed.
People like him had stopped crying a long time ago.
"It’s okay..." Hanna said gently.
"No, it’s not okay... I hurt you." It would never be okay for him to hurt her. How could she still talk to him so softly? "It will never be okay. I am sorry..."
