When She Unveils Identities

Chapter 558 This World, So Warm

Antwan finally fell asleep, a faint smile lingering on his lips, peaceful and sweet. He regarded Shirley as his strong backing.

He thought, “With Shirley around, the sky is clear, the wind is gentle, and even the air tastes sweet. Without her, it would be the end of the world, the apocalypse. I wouldn’t even have the desire to live. Although it’s sick to think this way, I’ve gradually become addicted and can’t break free.”

Silently, Shirley watched the sleeping man, sighing softly. Is she tired? Of course, she is. How could she not be? It’s not just physical exhaustion but also mental fatigue. Antwan has always been a fanatic, extreme in his actions. He used to proclaim the value of “if one dies, we die together,” always disrupting orderly situations and turning them into chaos.

Now, he had become a well-behaved child, restraining all his aggression, arrogance, and madness. He treated her as his world as if he had become a different person. But the more he changed, the greater the psychological burden on Shirley. She felt he was too pitiful, and his cautiousness under suppression was heart-wrenching.

And all of this was caused by her!

Thoughts of encountering Braden during the day resurfaced in her mind, causing her to feel inexplicably irritated.

She thought, “Why did someone who shouldn’t have crossed paths with me intrude upon my peaceful life and disturb the calm lake of my heart?

Ultimately, it’s because I didn’t sever my attachment completely… It’s truly shameful, truly pathetic!”

Shirley stepped out of the hospital room and entered the dimly lit corridor, lighting a cigarette. The flickering flame and thin smoke scattered in the darkness. The taste of nicotine provided some relaxation to her mind.

In these past six months, perhaps due to the immense psychological pressure, she had started smoking. She knew it wasn’t a good habit and would harm her health, but she couldn’t resist it. It was like some emotions -knowing they shouldn’t exist, but once they do, they become a disaster, impossible to control.

At that moment, two nurses arrived, each lighting a cigarette and engaging in casual conversation.
