Love Dilemma

I suppressed the pain in my heart and apologized sincerely to Ronan.

"Dr. Nolte, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Lenoir's expression changed.

She waved her hand to let the man leave and then said to me, "Come here, I'll give you some medicine."

Only then did I notice that the wound on my feet had stained the originally white slippers red.

Lenoir carefully picked up the fragments on my feet, as if the treasure in her hand would shatter at a touch.

In these five years, she always scolded and belittled me with the harshest words when she was in a bad mood.

When I tried to escape, he stuffed another dried berries into my pocket.

I stared at her serious face and said to her gently, "Lenoir, I don't want to eat dried berries you gave me anymore."

I mostly stayed in my room due to my foot injury.

Suddenly, the butler knocked on the door and behind him was Ronan.

"Sir, Ms. Jenner asked you to switch rooms with Dr. Nolte for the convenience of treating her."

"Harold, please replace all the furniture here. I have a mysophobia and I don't use things others have been used."

I moved to the smallest room in the corner. I put away the things Lenoir gave me one by one.

Watching the flames devour them, my love for Lenoir disappeared along with them.

"What are you burning?"

"Nothing, just packing up some unwanted stuff."

The weather forecast said it would rain today.

Ronan and Lenoir left early in the morning.

Raindrops began to hit the window. I held the phone tightly in my hand, quietly waiting for the 99th time to come.

Finally, the phone rang.

The voice on the other end remained as urgent as ever, accompanied by Lenoir's muffled groan.

"Yohan, quickly deliver the medicine to Ms. Jenner. We are at 35 Lavaryn Street."

I took a deep breath and answered softly, "I'll be right there."

The rain today was as heavy as the day Liam left.

The difference was, back then I got caught in the rain and had a fever because I was trying to help Lenoir find the ring that Liam had thrown in the bushes.

And today, I was willing to walk into the trap Lenoir designed to punish me even though I had learned about it.

On the other side, Lenoir was leisurely drinking while Ronan, who was by her side, wanted to lean against her, but she coldly refused.

"If he learns to be like him, he won't be like this."

Ronan sat up straight with an unpleasant look on his face.

Caitlin, who was standing beside her, saw that something was wrong and spoke up jokingly,

"Lenoir, I have arranged a big one this time, which will definitely make Yohan regret stopping you."

"I specifically looked for those thugs."

"But what are you planning to do with him after it's over?"

Lenoir fiddled with the wine glass in her hand expressionlessly and everyone around her dared not respond for a moment.

"The punishment is over. I won't see him again."

After saying this, Caitlin beside her suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

When I arrived at Lavaryn Street, what I saw was a narrow and dark alley and No. 35 was at the very end.

I mustered up the courage and stepped in, convincing myself with every step.

"Yohan, don't be afraid ... don't be afraid."

"After today, you will be free."

"No matter how ruthless she is, she can only hurt you a bit and the pain will be gone in a few days."

But I was wrong, so wrong.

Some people mercilessly torn my clothes apart and their cold hands wandered freely on my body.

"No, let me go!"

"Lenoir, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Auntie, I know I was wrong."

I went from struggling at the beginning to being indifferent in the end.

I did not know how long it had been, I just let the rain fall and for the first time, I hated myself for falling in love with someone I should not have.
