Chapter 445 - 446: The Abandoned Candy
Cherish Turner hadn’t expected him to say such words. She used to think that William Griffith’s world was both mysterious and so distant, so lofty. But one day, he suddenly brought her into his world, and as she began to understand his past, she felt a bit dazed.
After work, William Griffith came to pick her up for dinner. After finishing dinner, Cherish Turner bought fresh fruit from a nearby fruit shop. They couldn’t go empty-handed to visit her sick sister, Chloe Turner. Thinking that fruit would be a good gift, they proceeded. He then drove her to the apartment where Chloe Turner lived, and on the way, Cherish Turner pondered what to say when they met.
In a blink of an eye, Cherish Turner was standing at Chloe Turner’s apartment door, following William Griffith’s lead.
She pressed the doorbell, waiting quietly for it to open.
The cold, refreshing air brushed against both of them as the door opened. Chloe Turner, wearing a nightgown and with her long hair disheveled, walked up to greet them, barefoot. She thought it would be Yannis Griffith visiting, but stopped in her tracks when she saw the man standing outside her door.
Looking up at William Griffith, Chloe Turner exclaimed in surprise, "William? What are you doing here?"
"I heard you weren’t feeling well, so we came to visit," answered William Griffith indifferently.
The word ’we’ in his sentence made Chloe’s original joy freeze momentarily. William Griffith moved aside, revealing Cherish Turner standing behind him, holding a fruit basket. Cherish Turner smiled faintly, asking softly, "Are... are you feeling any better?"
Cherish Turner could not bring herself to call her sister.
Chloe Turner’s smile faded, "Come in and sit down. Thank you for coming to see me." In front of William Griffith, Chloe had no other choice but to be polite.
Inside the apartment’s living room, Cherish Turner and William Griffith sat side by side as Chloe busied herself around them, "What do you want to drink? I only have juice, is that alright?"
"Anything is fine; you don’t have to go through all this trouble," Cherish Turner hurriedly replied.
