Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 214 The Complicated Love Square

Finished

Secing Heidi acting like a b*tch, I couldn’t help but retort, “Ms. Tessford, that’s not fair. When did I ever hit you? I was just helping you get better. Look at you now–aren’t you full of energy? You followed Caden to save me, and now I’ve saved you once. We’re even.”

I said that without sparing Heidi another glance, grabbing Yura’s hand. “Yura, let’s go find Hughie.”

Yura was surprised. “Aren’t you going to rest for a bit?”

I shook my head. “I want to find Hughie quickly and ask him to help Mr. Richard.”

“Rosaline, I’ll go with you.” Caden’s voice suddenly cut in.

Before I could respond, Heidi grabbed Caden’s arm, covering her face. “Caden, don’t leave. It hurts so much; Rosaline hit me, and it really hurts.”

Caden frowned. “Tessa, I’ll have Yale take you back. Once I find Dr. Watts, I’ll come to you.”

But Heidi wasn’t having it. She clung to Caden desperately, tears pouring down her face. She looked so pitiful. “Caden, you once promised me you’d protect me forever. You said you’d always love me. Now you’re just leaving me behind.”

Her words were so harsh to my ears.

Caden had said similar things to me before.

“Rosaline, don’t be scared. I’ll protect you.”

“I love you. I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world.”

But now, he was saying those same words to her.

I took a deep breath, pushing away the painful thoughts, and glanced at Yura. “Let’s go.”

With that, I pulled Yura along and left.

Behind me, I heard Caden’s voice. “Tessa, listen to me. Go back with Yale.”

Then I heard Caden’s footsteps catch up to me. He spoke in a low voice by my side. “Rosaline, I’ll go with you.”
