Still You Still Me Still Falling novel Chapter 124

Staring at the disconnected call, Yvaine zoned out for a moment. She could clearly feel how deeply Sheila resented hearing any news about Edmond and Jewel. But...

Just as she was agonizing over what to do, her phone buzzed.

She quickly glanced at it, assuming Sheila was calling back.

Instead, the screen flashed with Dante's name.

Yvaine hesitated for a few seconds before answering.

"You need something?"

Dante's voice was icy cold.

Yvaine replied bluntly, "Nothing, I dialed the wrong number!"

Dante countered, "So, the text message was sent by mistake, too?"

Yvaine felt a flash of embarrassment but gritted her teeth in denial. "Yeah, the text was a mistake too!"

Dante let out a dry chuckle. "Right. A mistake."

With that, he hung up.

This time, Yvaine zoned out even longer.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally scoffed and shoved her phone into her pocket.

When she looked up again, her eyes were rimmed with red.

That afternoon, Sheila sent Yvaine a series of memes without any accompanying text.

Yvaine couldn't help but laugh, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Sheila was worried she was angry and was trying to cheer her up.

She thought about it—Sheila was living a great life now. There was really no need to drag up those awful, traumatic memories just to annoy her.

As for Edmond and Jewel's mess, it truly had absolutely nothing to do with Sheila anymore.

The two friends chatted for over half an hour before Sheila finally hung up.

She spent some time researching materials, reading through books and her laptop screen until her eyes grew tired and itchy.

Right on cue, Cecil texted her, telling her not to stay cooped up in the house and suggesting she go for a walk.

Sheila had been working day and night to earn these few days of vacation.

But now that she suddenly had free time, she wasn't used to it at all.

Changing into some activewear, she decided to go for a run.

The surrounding greenery was lush, and there was a dedicated jogging path.

Sheila used to have a regular fitness routine, but with her workload piling up recently, she couldn't even eat or sleep on time, let alone stick to exercising.
