Chapter 3

Eleanor, lugging her suitcase, arrived at her bestie Hailey Vulpe’s place.

She raised her hand, gave a gentle knock on the door, and stood nearby, quietly waiting.-

Both she and Hailey were orphans; they grew up together in the orphanage, like sisters.

She remembered when Bernard took her away, Hailey said to her, “If he ever dumps you, remember to come back home.”

It was these words that gave Eleanor the courage to say no to Bernard’s house.

Hailey swiftly opened the door, and upon seeing Eleanor, her mouth immediately curved into a smile.

“Eleanor, what brings you here?”

Eleanor tightened her grip on the suitcase and confessed somewhat timidly, “Hailey, I’ve come to stay at your place.”

Only then did Hailey notice the suitcase in Eleanor’s hand, and her smile froze. “What happened?”

Eleanor put on a brave face and smiled, “I ended things with him.”

Hailey gazed at Eleanor, who was trying her best to maintain her smile.

Her tiny face looked gaunt, with sunken eye sockets and a pale complexion.

Standing in the cold wind, her body was so frail that it looked like a piece of paper.

Seeing Eleanor like this, Hailey suddenly felt a heartache.
