No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

"News? What news?"

My heart skipped a beat, and since waking up, not a soul had breathed a word of it to me.

I yanked the door open to find Conrad and Dustin standing outside, both turning to face me simultaneously.

"What news?" I demanded.

They exchanged a look, clearly intending to keep me in the dark.

Without letting them get a word in, I blurted out, "I heard everything."

Dustin's eyes darkened as he reached for his phone, while Conrad made a move to stop him, only to be halted by my stern gaze.

"Maybe it's better she knows," Dustin conceded, unlocking his phone and handing it to me.

It displayed a screenshot of a webpage headline: "Rare Golden Blood Love, Girlfriend Donates 800cc to Save Boyfriend, Your Blood Runs Through My Veins."

Such a romantic headline, accompanied by a photo of me linking fingers with Conrad as a sign of encouragement.

It was merely a gesture of support, far from a declaration of love.
