Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 670 Back to Arlowand

Zelena raised an eyebrow. "A hobby? Oh, so this is your hobby."

She let out a long sigh and gazed out the window, murmuring quietly to herself, "It feels like I've never really had any hobbies in this life. After all this time, what exactly have I been chasing?" It seemed that all her life, she had been chasing approval wanting others to acknowledge her, look up to her, envy her.

But in the end, she was still the one who envied others the most.

"I've been meaning to ask you something."

"You want to know if I'm really from this world?"

"How did you know?"

Violeta replied with a mysterious smile, taking another sip of her coffee, "What do you think?"

Zelena's gaze was filled with deep curiosity as she looked at Violeta, but she couldn't tell what Violeta was thinking at all. "I want a clear answer. I need to know where I went wrong." Violeta didn't reply.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. I've got a busy schedule, and there's an event this afternoon."

Violeta stood to leave, but Zelena sprang up, grabbing her by the wrist. "Tell me! You're not from this world, are you? Just say it!"

Violeta effortlessly pulled her hand free, her serene gaze locking onto Zelena's wild, almost frantic eyes.

There was no way she could reveal the truth.

She would let Zelena be haunted by that question for the rest of her life, losing sleep over it.
