Chapter 130
***
The rain hadn't ceased for days, and Sez found herself bedridden with illness.
As she battled an unexpected fever, she was consumed with thoughts of Rayton.
Even with her eyes closed, she could vividly picture him standing alone in the relentless rain.
It seemed absurd – Rayton had been the one to endure the downpour, yet there she was, the one who ended up sick in bed.
‘Maybe I got sick instead of him.’
Sez truly hoped that was the case.
That was the only way for her to ease his pain since he couldn't openly express his hurt or sadness as he desired.
Under the influence of medicine, Sez drifted into sleep, her dreams consistently revolving around Rayton.
All of her dreams were about him, but even in those dreams, she couldn't find the courage to approach him.
She could only observe from a distance.
In her last dream, Rayton was covered in blood.
"..."
He stood alone, silently, amidst a pile of lifeless bodies, victims of his actions.
