How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 52

When Elodie spotted Joseph standing a short distance away, she didn't show any emotion. She simply nodded politely, maintaining only the bare minimum of

courtesy.

Anything beyond that, she absolutely refused to offer.

Joseph could sense her coldness.

By now, he knew better than to mistake Elodie's indifference for some kind of hard-to-get act. In the past, he might have thought she was just trying out a new strategy to win over Jarrod's friends. But those days were long gone, and he wasn't that naive anymore.

Elodie truly didn't care about getting close to him.

That realization made Joseph frown, a tangle of unspoken feelings stirring inside him.

"Hey, big brother!" Freya's face was still lit up with excitement from her

conversation with Elodie, her voice bubbling as she turned to Joseph. "Why are you here so early to find me?"

Joseph glanced at Elodie before he answered. "Do you even realize your own condition? Did you bring your inhaler?"

Freya's cheeks puffed out guiltily. "Ugh, you're such a nag.....'

Elodie stood up. "I'll head back to my room now."

Joseph nodded. "Alright."
