Chapter 130-My Forbidden Mate
Helanie:
"You look so weak. Are you sure you want to take the first class and not a day off?" Lucy stood by my bed as I fixed my shoelaces.
"Let me do that." She finally unwrapped her arms from around her chest and squatted down to help me with the shoes. I knew she had been upset with me.
I was gone for two days but ended up staying for almost a week. I heard everyone else left for their homes during the holidays. Well, I guess my child sacrificed himself to give me shelter for the holidays.
But Lucy was upset. I arrived late last night, and she only stared at me. I guess she had so many questions but couldn’t ask any at the time, as Lamar kept insisting I rest.
"I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you. I heard about Gavin breaking up with you," I said softly while she kept her head lowered.
"It’s okay. The only thing that bothers me is that you were sick, and you left with Jenny without even telling me anything. How could you be so unwell that you had to leave class midway? Did you three... plan a trip? Because that was Professor Emmet’s last class for the month," she finally stood up and spoke, her tone devoid of gestures. She looked so defeated.
"No, we didn’t. I just wasn’t feeling well and had no other option but to leave," I replied, concealing the real reason I left like that.
"You could have at least asked Jenny to take me to you, but you didn’t." She was right to complain. She didn’t know the truth, so all of this was, of course, upsetting to her.
