The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 322 Nothing Left to Say

Taylor continued in his memory.

In fact, even the origami stars she folded for me on a whim, or the little notes she scribbled without thinking- never had the heart to throw them away.

“Stay happy, Taylor!”

That was the message she wrote to me the most.

But I wasn’t happy now.

She didn’t come home, and I wasn’t happy at all. But it didn’t matter anymore. She didn’t care if I was happy. She didn’t even want to acknowledge me as her brother anymore.

“Bodger? Taylor?”

Ever since Lily left the Ginger estate, Mergan had gotten used to stopping by her room almost every night, sometimes standing there silently for over an hour.

He came again out of habit tonight, but didn’t expect to find both Bodger and Taylor already there.

His expression darkened. “What are you two doing in Lily’s room?”

“I nearly strangled Lily tonight…”

Bodger didn’t respond to Mergan’s question. Instead, he shut his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze heavy and dark.

“I misjudged her again. I even wanted to throw her to the rock…

I swore I’d protect her, care for her, trust her forever. But all I’ve done is hurt her, doubt her. I’m not her favorite brother anymore. No wonder she doesn’t want to recognize me as her brother.”

Taylor’s eyes were filled with the same pain and remorse as he listened.

He instinctively tightened his grip on the rosary around his wrist. “I’m not worthy of being her brother either.
