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.

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

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

Zoey's words replayed in my mind.

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.
