Drake’s words lingered in Thalia’s mind like a curse, repeatedly echoing and disturbing her peace of mind.
The next day when Thalia visited Asher in the hospital, she was visibly distracted.
“Something on your mind, Lia?” Asher asked softly.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked away. “That woman… Vanessa Miller. What’s the story there?”
Asher’s lips curved into a knowing smile. “Are you jealous?”
Thalia tried her best to appear nonchalant, puffing her cheeks slightly. “Of course not. You’ve just never mentioned her before, that’s all.”
Remembering how this woman had kidnapped Lucy and tried to stab her, Thalia felt anger mingling with her jealousy. “Where did you even find this crazy admirer? She’s completely unhinged.”
Asher reached out his hand. “Come here, Lia.”
Thalia moved closer, perching on the edge of his hospital bed.
Taking her hand in his, Asher’s expression turned serious. “We attended the same school. She pursued me rather intensely back then, and I clearly rejected her. Later, she followed me to university, where she continued her pursuit. I never gave her any encouragement–not once.”
Thalia lowered her eyes, her lips turning down slightly. “Is that all there is to it?”
Asher gently pinched her cheek. “That’s everything. I barely even spoke to her. We don’t have each other’s numbers, social media–nothing.”
After a moment of silence, Thalia continued. “Why would anyone persist for ten whole years? Not ten days, not ten months–ten years.”
Asher smiled helplessly. “I honestly couldn’t tell you. Everyone around me knows how coldly I treated her. I’ve barely exchanged a handful of words with her in all that time.”
Thalia leaned closer, narrowing her eyes playfully. “And how many words is ‘a handful‘ exactly?”
Asher couldn’t help laughing. “Maybe five or six sentences total…”
