Chapter 163-All Eyes On Me
Helanie:
After he told me the devastating news that I guess I had already suspected, he gave me some medicine, and soon Gavin arrived, looking for me.
Norman said goodbye and left me in Gavin’s care. Gavin took care of me and sat beside me in silence while I let the medicine do its magic. When I finally felt better, I knew it was time to confront Gavin.
"Don’t play with Lucy," I said, and he frowned.
"What makes you think I am?" he replied, sounding unconvincing because he avoided eye contact.
"I know what you’re doing, Gavin. Don’t ruin everything. If you can’t forgive her, just let her go. That will be her ultimate punishment. Don’t stoop so low—" As I was speaking, his scoff and head shake interrupted my words.
"Did you say all that to her when she was cheating on me?" he asked. There was a sad and sarcastic smirk on his lips, as if to accuse me of being a hypocrite.
"Gavin, she didn’t tell me before cheating on you. Besides, she was certain you had cheated on her, and while I think she’s wrong, I just see her side. She was devastated. Her punishment will be you leaving her." I didn’t want them to end things on such a bad note, where there wouldn’t even be a chance for them to be friends again.
"You should rest. I’m not playing here," he muttered and leaned back, closing his eyes. The rest of the night was peaceful. In fact, I woke up feeling so good, as if I had healed perfectly.
