Chapter 159: The Long-Awaited Call
Easter~
I couldn’t breathe.
The name on the screen stared back at me like a ghost I wasn’t ready to face. Melody. My twin sister.
My breath caught in my throat, the air thick with disbelief. My fingers trembled as I held the phone, too stunned to move. No. This couldn’t be real. I blinked once, then twice, expecting the name to disappear like a mirage. But it didn’t. It stayed, bright and bold, vibrating in my palm like a second heartbeat.
"Melody..." I whispered, more to myself than anyone else.
I looked up, eyes wide, and locked onto Jacob’s gaze. He was still standing at the doorway, arms folded across his chest, but now his expression had changed. His brows furrowed, and concern creased his features. I turned toward Tiger, who stood silent beside me, his green eyes glowing with something unreadable.
Then the phone stopped ringing.
Just like that.
Gone.
As if I had imagined the whole thing.
But before I could process the disappointment, it buzzed again. Melody.
