Chapter 870
Skylar held Simona close without saying anything.
She gently patted her back. Simona sobbed against Skylar’s shoulder for a long time.
Once Simona’s emotions started to calm, Skylar helped her back to the hospital bed. Perhaps comforted by having someone with her, Simona quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep after lying down on the hospital bed.
But she remained silent the entire time.
Skylar sat beside the bed, holding Simona’s hand tightly. Just by holding her hand, Simona seemed to find some small measure of relief from the fear gripping her heart.
When Skylar noticed Simona’s breathing becoming steadier, she allowed herself to relax a little. At that moment, she took the time to quietly observe Sim
Tears still clung to Simona’s eyelashes, and her face was streaked with tear marks. Everything that had happened tonight had been an unimaginable ordeal for her.

Simona’s sleep was restless. After barely half an hour, she woke up with a jolt. She screamed, “No!”
Her voice was raw and desperate. Skylar was startled by Simona’s outcry and immediately moved to soothe her. “Simona, I’m here. Don’t be afraid. No one will ever hurt you again.”
Simona’s terrified eyes slowly began to clear at Skylar’s comforting words. She clutched Skylar’s hand even tighter.

It was like a beautiful dream that turned into a nightmare just before it ended. And just like that, she was plunged into hell.
Skylar’s voice was soft yet firm as she reassured Simona, “They will pay for this, Simona. I promise you.”
Simona buried herself in Skylar’s embrace, her voice trembling. “I know my brother won’t let them get away with this, and he’ll make sure they pay. But… my body hurts, my heart hurts, and then there’s Wendy… Wendy had already planned to go to the same college as her boyfriend, but now… what will she do?”
Even at this moment, Simona’s main concern was still for the other girl. Skylar’s heart ached at Simona’s resilience and kindness.
“You both are brave girls. You won’t be defeated that easily,” Skylar said softly.
Simona bit down on her already injured lip. She knew Ajken would seek justice for her, but she was determined to fight for herself too. But Wendy Specter NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Wendy had always been so timid.
When they were rescued, Wendy had passed out completely. Skylar was right. The ones at fault were those guys, not them.
