Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 75

Vincent's lips trembled violently as his eyes fixated on the gruesome wound on Claire's shoulder. The deep crimson of her blood felt like a sharp sword piercing straight into his heart.

It was as if something lodged in his throat, preventing him from uttering a single word.

A profound sense of despair engulfed him entirely.

Countless times, he had imagined reuniting with Claire, believing that despite their turbulent past, they could eventually find solace in each other's company once more.

But now, everything spiraled out of his control.

Fear gripped him—a fear of facing this Claire, who was now filled with hatred; a fear of the endless coldness in her eyes.

He could no longer bear to stand there in front of her.

With great difficulty, he turned away, his steps unsteady and hurried as he fled the hospital room.

As Vincent made his escape, Claire collapsed like a deflated balloon, her tense body suddenly devoid of strength, slowly sinking backward.
