Chapter 388

Karan was seething with anger.

"Mom, Tanya's still young and lacks worldly experience. She'll grow out of it. Don't be mad, I'll go check on her," Hank said.

With that, Hank disregarded Karan's protests and headed towards Tanya's room.

Inside, Tanya was in a world of pain.

She was just 19.

She hadn't started college yet, hadn't confessed her feelings to her crush, hadn't shown her parents the appreciation they deserved...

There was so much in life she hadn't done yet.

Why?

Why was fate so cruel to her?

Thinking about her fate in three months made Tanya bury herself in her blankets, sobbing uncontrollably.

Just then, a knock sounded from the door, "Tanya."

It was Hank's voice.

Tanya got up, stopped crying, wiped her eyes with some tissues, and then went to open the door, "Big bro."

"Have you been crying, Tanya?"
