Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Everyone's Growth Is Forced

I felt my stomach churn, slapped a hand over my mouth, and bolted outta there.

Bella was right behind me, giving my back a few pats.

I leaned against the wall, puking my guts out until there was nothing left.

Ethan handed me a bottle of water. I took it, rinsed my mouth, and finally felt a bit human again.

Once I was back to normal, he asked, "Where to next?"

I shook my head. "I'm beat."

"Alright, let's head back," he said.

We grabbed a car and headed back to the hotel.

Climbing the stairs, my legs felt like they were made of lead.

Outta nowhere, Ethan scooped me up and carried me to the room.

"If you're tired, hit the shower and crash early," Ethan told me.

I nodded and shuffled into the bathroom.

Staring at myself in the mirror, I felt like I was looking at a stranger. 'Have I changed? Have I turned into someone cruel? Nah, people are like springs; push 'em too far, and they bounce back.'

I had dreamed a million times about getting back at Arthur, but I never thought it would feel this good.

After my shower, I found Ethan smoking on the balcony.

I walked out and stood next to him.
