Lina was taken aback, sensing a hidden meaning behind Gia’s statement. Reflecting on Gia’s recent unusual behavior, Lina began to suspect that something more complex was troubling her friend. However, she couldn’t quite grasp the full extent of the problem.

Gia was shocked by Lina’s response.

Lina smiled gently. “If you’ve truly done something terrible, I hope you hold yourself back until I find out. Please, spare me from experiencing the pain of such betrayal… Maybe then, we can still salvage our friendship.”
