Chapter 125
The walk had been scheduled for just before sunset, so until then, I decided to close my eyes for a while and rest.
Or I tried to.
The moment I pulled the blanket up to my chin, a searing pain flared in my chest.
I didn’t have to look. I knew what it was.
The second petal was blooming.
Clenching the blanket between her teeth, Selina bit back a scream. If she made a sound, people would come running.
They’d find out. That couldn’t happen.
With the blanket stuffed into her mouth, Selina writhed on the wide bed like a wild animal caught in a trap, dying in silence.
How long did it last?
By the time her jaw had locked tight from the tension, the pain in her chest began to subside.
She tried to sit up—only to collapse again.
She made a few more attempts to stand, all in vain. Her knees had no strength. So she crawled across the floor instead.
