Chapter 275: Her Decision (3)
Watching Xyronos leave without a glance, Iris felt an unnamed agony tormenting her heart. No words could convey the depth of her sadness; it seemed she had lost him forever.
She clenched her hand so tightly it dug into her palms, yet she barely felt the pain.
Earlier, she confessed her true feelings, admitting she loved Xavier in this life. Still, she didn’t wish to sever ties with Xyronos either.
If possible, she hoped they could be friends. However, seeing how hurt he was, the possibility of friendship or crossing paths in the future seemed impossible.
’Xy, if you can still hear me, I want to apologize again sincerely. I pray you find someone better, someone who’ll love you endlessly. Goodbye, Xy. Take care...’
Iris waited for him to answer, but it seemed he had already left this place, or he deliberated to ignore her. She could only sigh silently, sitting in her seat for a while.
However, before long, Iris felt her eyes become blurry, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes. She lowered her head slightly while crying silently.
After a few minutes, she managed to stop crying and regain her composure, wiping the tear streaks from her cheeks.
As she prepared to search for Xavier in the forest, she was startled to hear his calm, gentle voice from behind.
"He’ll be okay; you don’t need to feel sorry for him."
Iris turned to where Xavier’s voice came from. When she saw him standing a few meters away, her heart, which had been worried about Xyronos’ departure, slowly became calmer.
