Chapter 165: He Fall Apart
Eryx stood still for a few moments before stepping back and turning to leave the room.
"Eryx..." Regina called after him, hurrying to follow. But Eryx’s strides were long and quick, his silence heavier than anything he could’ve said.
She stopped at the doorway, only then realizing, they hadn’t been alone.
Everyone had been listening.
Naomi stood nearby, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. Lunara was beside her, eyes wide as the pieces started to fall into place.
Naomi took a step toward the room and stopped at the threshold. "So... you pretended to lose your memories?" she asked, her gaze locked on Lucas, who stood frozen where he was.
Lunara, meanwhile, turned without a word. Her breath caught as realization dawned, and she rushed down the stairs, her only thought was to catch up to Eryx.
Eryx gripped the wheel tightly, the engine already humming beneath his fingers. The headlights cut through the dusk of the garage as he shifted into reverse, eyes fixed ahead on anything but the house he was desperate to escape.
But before he could move, a figure darted out of the shadows.
He hit the brakes with a jolt.
Lunara stood directly in front of the car, both hands braced against the hood, her breath fogging up the cool air. Her eyes locked with his through the windshield, wide, burning, confused. And hurt.
