All too late for his love

Chapter 25

“Skyler, you’re crazy!” Willow couldn’t be bothered to listen to Skyler’s nonsense anymore. With those words, she abruptly ended the call.

After she hung up, her heart continued to pound fiercely. She knew that perhaps if she killed Caroline, Skyler would keep her promise to give her the money she desperately needed to save Aaron.

Yet she couldn’t betray her conscience. Willow genuinely liked Caroline.

Caroline wasn’t just her idol. She was her guiding light.

When Willow was young, she was sickly and was often bullied at school. Once, she was pushed into a muddy pit by several girls, leaving her covered in mud and looking disheveled.

Caroline, who was doing charity work at the school, saw her in that state. Without the air of a celebrity, Caroline carefully lifted her out of the mud. Her exper dress was stained with mud, but she didn’t mind. She simply asked Willow if she was hurt.

The memory of Caroline’s gentle actions still softened Willow’s heart.
