Chapter 166

[Jason, let’s meet up today.] The message came from Holly, whose account had been dormant for years.

Staring at the message for a long time, Jason turned his gaze towards Estrella, who was still half-asleep. He pulled the blanket up to cover her shoulders, then replied to Holly’s message before getting out of bed.

As Jason got dressed and ready, Estrella opened her eyes, her voice groggy, “Up so early?” “Yeah, got a bit of a thing,” Jason said, looking down at her.

Estrella nodded, grabbing the pillow next to her and hugging it to her chest, not pressing him on what the matter was.

The door gently closed behind him, and Estrella’s eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened a little wider. Everything seemed to proceed just as she expected.

Jason arrived at the coffee shop they’d agreed on, and Holly was already there. When she saw him, she stood up and greeted him with a gentle, “Jason, how have you been?”

Her voice and demeanor carried a sense of recovering from a serious illness, and her spirit still wasn’t very good.

“Good,” Jason sat down opposite her, and Holly ordered him an Americano.

A few moments later, when the server brought over the coffee, Holly watched Jason with a faint smile and said, “My sudden reappearance yesterday must have rattled you all, didn’t it?”

When Jason didn’t respond, Holly took a sip of her coffee, then set down the cup gently and spoke deliberately, “The surgery back then wasn’t a complete failure. I just couldn’ accept that version of myself. I couldn’t accept being unable to stand, and the scars or my face.”

“I didn’t know how to face everyone, especially you. Your folks were so fond of Estrella and the idea of you two together. I felt that maybe it would be for the best for everyone was just gone. My family didn’t know what to do with me, so they went along with that charade.”
