His Heart Is Now Elsewhere

Chapter 8

After that day, I never paid attention to any news about Edward again.

To me, he was just a familiar stranger.

But I never expected that I would meet him again.

Three months later, I, as usual, took Anthony to rehabilitation training.

While waiting for the red light, I unintentionally lifted my eyes and met Edward’s complex gaze.

He stood across the street, with red eyes, watching me and Anthony.

There was deep love in the eyes, along with some emotions that I couldn’t understand.

I hugged Anthony tightly, without hesitation, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction.

I heard his heart–wrenching cries from behind.

“Melanie, please don’t go!”

I ignored it and quickened my pace, wanting to escape.

Until a piercing screech of brakes exploded in my ears.

I turned around, as if my heart was about to stop.

Edward collapsed in a pool of blood.

I saw him, with blood all over his face, struggling to force a smile.

“Melanie, I finally saw you and Anthony again!”

“Only after you left did I realize what I truly cared about. I’m sorry to you, and even more sorry to Anthony. Can you please forgive me?”

I trembled all over, hesitated for a long time, but still walked up to him with Anthony.

He struggled to get up, wanting to hug me and Anthony.

I instinctively dodged and whispered softly in his ear with only a hint of pity.

Anthony and I had a great time together. You don’t have to come anymore in the future, and we don’t want to see you again!

He collapsed weakly to the ground, covering his face and crying out in pain.
