Chapter 241 Difficult Times

In the past, what Christina most desired was to see her brother at home. She eagerly awaited the holidays

when she could reunite with him during school breaks

Later, when he married Natalie, she still hoped he would come back often.

However, these past few days have felt like an eternity for her.

Natalie was dead.

Christina harbored a deep hatred for Natalie, resenting her significant role in Cedric’s world.

Yet, even so, it was hard to muster up any feelings of happiness right now.

Because the man she loved… had a debt to settle with her for the sake of that dead woman.

Christina had never been so afraid to face Cedric.

She feared that he might confront her for that woman’s sake. She worried that the cruelty he once directed at Natalie would now be turned against her.

Would that cruelty slowly accumulate and be focused on her?

used to make for her.

However, these two days…

No matter how much effort she put into it, Christina never took a single bite.

“I don’t want to eat!”

Christina lacked patience at this moment, and she was irritated by Wanda’s kindness.

“Miss, how can you not eat? You’ll collapse if you continue like this.”

“I wish I had burned in that fire instead,” Christina said bitterly.

Yes. Once a person was dead, that was the end. It was those who lived that suffered! The living was.
