Chapter 10

For ten long years, I deceived myself into thinking that if I gave my all, he would eventually love me back.

Yet, that day never came.

Now, hearing this from Avery, I could only muster a bitter smile and shake my head. “It’s impossible. He never showed any love for me. He never said a word about it. “Even if, by some miracle, it were true, why didn’t he come to me and explain?” Avery’s smile was more painful than her tears.

I was torn between wanting to see him and keeping my distance.

While I was still hesitating, I received a call from the psychiatric hospital.

They informed me that Julian had jumped to his death.
