Chapter 348 The Truth Beneath the Surface

* Free Cotra

Simon couldn’t wrap his head around it. The girl he once cherished like a rare treasure–his bright, loyal Lizzy–had turned into someone capable of this. Someone who would go to such extremes just to hurt Lily.

And yet, even as he stared at her now, memories of another time came rushing back….

“Simon, don’t be scared. I’ll stay with you, no matter what.”

“Come on, Simon, smile for me. Smiling brings good luck. Someone’s going to come rescue us soon!”

“Simon, if you’re hungry, bite me, I can take it. Just hang on, okay?”

“Simon… Simon…”

Back then, Lizzy lit up everything around her. She was warmth, she was hope.

He used to believe no one could ever be more optimistic, more full of life than her. He truly believed that kind of kindness couldn’t be tainted–that no matter how much time passed, she’d always stay that way.

But now, standing in front of him in her twenties, she was a different person.

His heart refused to accept it, but the thought kept creeping in. Could Elsa really be the same Lizzy he once knew?

He didn’t mean to say it out loud, but it slipped out anyway. “Are you really my Lizzy?”

“Simon…” Elsa’s lips trembled, her face drained of all color. Her body went limp, and she nearly slipped out of John’s arms.

She couldn’t believe he would even ask her that, That he would look at her–and doubt her.
