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."

"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.
