Cherry stood by the window, quietly gazing at the endless night sky outside, with a faint crescent moon occasionally peeking through the cloudy mist.
The night grew increasingly intense...
She wondered if Gavin Graves would come back to the room to sleep tonight. After pondering for a while, she thought he probably wouldn't.
As long as that taoist priest remained, Gavin would never return to her side.
Even if he left, the rift between them was already glaringly obvious, impossible to ignore even if one tried.
She asked Gavin, whether he would still want her after he was cured.
Gavin said he couldn't bear to leave her.
If the thought of abandoning her wasn't already on his mind, why would he find it hard to let go?
Everyone says so, claiming they can't bear it, offering all sorts of reasons like being forced by circumstances... all just to justify abandoning her with a bit more dignity.
The night deepened...
