Chapter 30 Not the One He Chose

“I didn’t fall out of love.”

Hearing her say that, a strange unease crept into John’s heart.

Lily didn’t want him to feed her. She tried to take the pills herself.

But the fever made her vision blur and spin. Her hands were clumsy and uncoordinated—she couldn’t manage to take them from him. So she let him place the pills into her mouth himself.

“Lily, how do you feel now? If it’s still bad, we can go to the hospital.”

She still felt terrible.

But the Lily who used to run to him over every minor discomfort, hoping for some comfort, was long gone. She’d grown used to him favoring Elsa, used to the coldness in his eyes.
