Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 14

Jewel's face turned pale immediately. Her eyes welled up with tears, making her look incredibly pitiful.

"Chris, you find me annoying now, don't you?" Her tears finally spilled over as she spoke.

Chris remained silent. There was a dark air surrounding him.

"If lan were alive, I wouldn't be bothering you..." Jewel's voice was faint but had an underlying pressure.

"Fine, you can bother me all you want, but leave her out of it." Chris was referring to me.

It seemed they were about to argue. I wasn't sure whether to stay or leave.

"I understand. From now on, I won't bother you anymore. I won't disturb you two either," Jewel mumbled before, turning and walking away quickly. This time, Chris didn't chase after her but instead looked at me. I lowered my head slightly and started walking out. Chris followed closely behind. As we exited the café, we heard the screech of tires. Both Chris and I looked up to see Jewel being hit by a car coming out of the parking garage. "Jewel," Chris called out softly before rushing over to her.

I stood frozen for a few seconds. Soon, I hurried over as well.
