“But I can see how sharing our love would make Lila resent us. What should we do next?” Sebastian didn’t say a word for a long time and then he finally said, “Now that things have come to this, what’s your next move? Are you going to side with Lila?”
Johanna turned to look at Natalie and said, “I’m going to ask Lila why she didn’t tell Natalie about the broken string.” Johanna still harbored some hope for Lila.
“We have to investigate this matter,” Natalie said and pursed her lips together tightly. Even though she said it in a gentle tone, she looked very sullen.
“If it was really Lila, I won’t let her get away with this!”
Lila burst into tears and ran out of the hospital after being questioned by Sebastian. She had nowhere else to go. She didn’t dare to head home, nor did she have any friends who would be willing to take her in. She could only stay in a hotel for the time being.
She had no idea what to do next at all.
After eating a meal, she hid in the hotel room and cried sorrowfully for hours on end. She knew that she was left with no other choice now. Even though Sebastian hadn’t gotten any hard evidence to prove that she did it, he would probably still tell Beal and Johanna about it. They would be really disappointed in her. She had no idea if they would kick her out after they learned about this. Lila cried all night long. She was flustered and scared, at a complete loss of what to do next. No one could get her out of this fix now.
At this time, she suddenly thought of Zoe. She proceeded to give Zoe a call. Charis had been waiting for Lila’s call this entire time.
“What’s the matter? How was your day today?”
“Something happened to Natalie’s parachute today. It malfunctioned ans she fell into the forest!” Lila said while weeping at the same time.
“Is she dead? No… I mean, how could such a thing happen? Was she hurt?” Charis was so excited to hear the news.
Fortunately, she was talking to Lila on the phone now and Lila couldn’t see just how excited she was. Lila cried even more bitter tears and filled her in on the whole story.
