Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 265 I Really Want to See Her

Dakato said, "Rhyns has a brother named Gideon. I heard he's been living abroad, running a restaurant. I've seen him a few times; he looks more like a shady character than a businessman. But I can't say for sure if he's mixed up in this, or if he's the one pulling Rhyns' strings. Just a hunch. But with Rhyns caught, I doubt Gideon will just sit back."

I knew this all too well. Catching one person meant making enemies. Hidden identities eventually came to light, and all eyes seeking revenge turned to me. I became everyone's target.

I only saw Jason when I was about to be discharged.

Jason's eyes were bloodshot, like he hadn't slept in days, staring at me without blinking.

Jason said, "You promised to be good to Emily forever, but all I see is her getting hurt. Just because she loves you, you think you can keep hurting her without any consequences?" Mentioning Emily felt like a dagger to my heart.

I said gloomily, "I love her too much to want to hurt her."

Jason said coldly, "But you still hurt her."

Yeah, even though I never meant to hurt Emily, I still did. And each time, it cut deeper.

Jason said, "Emily wants to follow her own path, chase her dreams. If you can't make her happy, if all you bring is danger and pain, then leave her alone."

I caught something in Jason's words.

I asked, "You've seen her?"

Jason looked away, not answering, but the message was clear. He was right. Looking back, even though Emily had happy moments with me, she ended up in pain. She had her own dreams, but my possessiveness and protection held her back. "Is she okay?" I asked, bitterness in my mouth.

"She's stronger than you and I thought!"

That gave me a bit of comfort. "Emily might seem fragile, but she's tough inside. After everything she's been through, she's become resilient. I believe in her."

At first, I thought I could handle everything, protect her. But reality showed I was too confident. I was up against the most cunning enemies, who never played fair. Letting her go was the best way to protect her. But I missed her so much. That was when I realized lovesickness was real. Time didn't heal it; it just made it worse. Heartache needed a heart remedy, but I had no cure. I had a hundred urges to find her, and a hundred and one times I talked myself out of it.

I couldn't disturb her. As long as I hadn't completely shed my burdens, keeping her close would only hurt her more.

But I really wanted to see her, especially at night, lying in the bed we once shared. I missed her so much it drove me crazy. I started having insomnia, often unable to sleep through the night, eventually needing meds to knock me out. I knew she was in Riverdale Falls. I really wanted to see her, even if just from a distance.

So I planned to go see her, just a glimpse would be enough.
