“Oh, why are you so quiet, Eva? I am certain when we met each other last time, you had a lot to say for yourself.” Sheila started provoking Eva in the middle of the meal.

Thankfully, the dosage wasn’t too high and you were quick to bring her here so she could receive the right treatment on time. Otherwise, she might pass away. You should consider yourself lucky.” The doctor told him.Hearing that statement nearly crushed him.

That’s why it’s better to be safe than sorry, at least for now.” Stefan told her.Eva wondered why he suddenly acted like this.

Stefan felt a bit of sympathy for her but his determination was far more resolute.“We already knew that sooner or later something like this would happen.” Stefan took a bite out of his meal with a rather heavy sigh.“Her state hasn’t been stable in the recent years. I know she has been through so much and sacrificed a lot for the two of us.” He paused for a moment before continuing.“But right now, she has lost her mind so far that she’s willing to actively harm someone.

What she saw before her was the sight of her boyfriend of two years kissing one of her close friend, Regina.Eva wasn’t exactly a crybaby, but at that moment, tears streamed down her cheek like waterfall.When the man saw her, he acted a bit shocked, but then, his face hardened and he approached her with a calm demeanor.“Well, at first I wanted to tell you in person, but since you already find out about it yourself, everything’s easier now.” He crossed his arms and looked at Eva straight in the eyes.“I am sick of you, Eva. I don’t love you anymore.” Those words stroke her like thunderstorm.She knew her relationship with Elliot hasn’t been that well recently, but she didn’t think he would actually have the audacity to cheat on her with her own friend.“You’re really cruel, Elliot.

Here’s my number, if you ever need anything from me, you can just call that number.” He said as he handed her over a piece of paper with his number on it.Eva looked up to him and hesitantly took it.“Thank you.” Eva didn’t know why, but she was feeling a little happy inside. It was so weird because just a moment ago she was filled with so much rage and sadness.“How are you going to get back home? Do you have a car?” He asked.“Oh? No, I don’t have a car, I just graduate

She really didn’t want to go and her intuition was telling her that something was wrong with the gathering.“Stefan, for the last time, can I just stay at home?
