Chapter 300 The Knot in My Heart

Whose name did I call?

Waking up from my dream, I was confused and unsure if that had been a

hallucination.

'Did I shout Aaron's name? Did I really do that?'

"I must be out of my mind!" I murmured in pain, clutching my head, and fell

into a silent rant.

Why him?

It didn't make any sense.

Vincent and I had been in love for years, and although he lied to me and hurt

me, we had some sweet times before the incident. So, in terms of trust, he

came second to Cinder and Nick.

But why? Why did Aaron's name pop out of my mouth when I was helpless?

I didn't get it.

Did I like him that much? A man who bore another woman in his heart?

'What am I doing?' I told myself, 'He is not your true love. Even if you are

attracted to each other, it has been tried before, hasn't it? The result is clear.

The more reckless I am in love, the more tragic the result.'

We were not a match.

A healthy relationship makes both parties better, not making them torment

each other.

I almost died because of him. I reminded myself not to forget that.

I wasn't going to give him the remaining half of my life.

Tears streamed down uncontrollably as I clutched my head and roared silently

on the bed.

Each protruding vein expressed my breakdown at that moment. I turned my head and looked out the

window. Damn! Why was Manhattan still so beautiful in the snow? The screen of my phone lit up, and it

started vibrating. Τɦε ϲαllεr Ιᴅ sɦοwεɖ Aɖεɳαυεr. Ι ϲɦεϲκεɖ τɦε τἱɱε. Ιτ wαs ɱἱɖɳἱgɦτ ɦεrε ἱɳ
