Chapter 348-The Missing Monster From The Tenth Floor
Helanie:
"Honestly, I feel like my best self ever."
Lucy had darkened her eyes with eyeliner. She never used to wear such heavy and bright makeup. She looked good, though, but the sudden change in her seemed like denial to me.
"What about—the mate bond—" Lamar shut up when I eyed him for bringing it up.
And the way her smile faded before she forced a wide grin just hinted at how she was doing her best to forget about it.
"It happened. It is okay. I mean—I guess—he wasn’t meant to be with me," she looked away but then started running her hands through her hair to make it seem like it didn’t affect her much.
"Lucy!" I instantly hugged her, and she closed her eyes, sniffling silently.
"Helanie, when I was in a coma, I had this recurring feeling of being stuck in a long, empty, and dark tunnel. I tried so hard to get out of it. I did my best, but every time I thought I was getting closer to the light, it would get darker again. During all that time, I realized what I had done. My life didn’t end with Gavin, Helanie. It didn’t," she spoke determinedly, but little whimpers still left her lips.
I broke the hug and watched her smile at me.
"My life is beyond him. It is a precious thing to be able to wake up every day and have a family with you. I cannot imagine waking up having no one by my side. And I was giving that up for someone who didn’t give two shits before cheating on me?" she hissed suddenly, making me realize she was angry with Gavin.
And rightfully so.
