Chapter 217: Check up on him
Well, it won’t happen anymore. She thought to herself with renewed determination.
She made a silent vow to remain by her side, even if it’s for a short time, directly or indirectly, she would be her friend – not just by word of mouth – but as her confidante and support as well.
At that moment, Stella turned to face her again. Her eyes had been thoroughly soiled so, she began to wipe them with haste.
"Oh my gosh, something got into my eyes, I’ve been trying to get it out."
Stella smiled warmly, she knew what was happening and it made her heart surge with love for Beatrix even more.
"Come here, bestie," she said as she opened her arms to her, leaning forward, Beatrix closed the distance between them, weeping against her shoulders as she spoke. "I don’t know what you’ve gone through, Stella, but I’m going to make it all right for you again, I promise."
"Everything looks okay already. Just seeing you, not in the least bit changed from who I used to know – gladdens my heart more than you can ever think, Beatrix."
For several moments, they locked eyes, a silent conversation passing between them. The air around them was heavy with unspoken words and clear meanings. But just as quickly as it had come, the moment passed, and Beatrix looked away, letting out a small sniff.
She straightened up and smoothed her clothes as she prepared herself to step outside.
