Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 413 Found His Stone of Duality

I knew I shouldn't be so pessimistic, always thinking of the worst-case scenarios.

Zoey would be fine. She had to be fine.

But no matter how much I tried to comfort myself, the image of that snowy night when Silas drove a knife into me kept replaying in my mind. Back then, I never imagined something like that could happen.

The door creaked open, and Harlan stepped out, glancing around. "Where's Janice?"

"She went back," Carter replied.

"Back? That woman left me again!" Harlan stomped his foot in anger.

Perhaps he sensed Zoey's change and was growing uneasy.

Without saying more, he rushed off, and Carter followed him.

Left alone, I stared at the leftovers from last night's takeout on the table.

Zoey's words replayed in my mind.

"May you guys live long and happy lives."

She had already prepared herself to face death.

Knowing full well the danger ahead, she still chose to walk into the lion's den. She wanted to eliminate all the threats for me.

My fists clenched tightly and the nails dug into my palms until I felt a sharp pain.

A storm of hatred brewed in my heart.

Why was the world so unfair?

The wicked roamed free, living comfortably, while the good suffered and died young.
