Dylan settled into the car, stealing a glance at her.
“Would you like to bid farewell?”
Laura shook her head.
“No, there’s no need.”
Dylan offered a reassuring smile and gently pressed the accelerator, heading towards the airport.
Edwin clutched the steering wheel with a firm grip.
His knuckles nearly turned white from the pressure.
He hadn’t anticipated Laura’s swift departure. It felt as though he still had unfinished words Lingering within him, yet they remained elusive.

And just like that, she was gone.
Edwin had no idea how long she would be away. Could Laura and Dylan have a future together?
Would Dylan pursue her?
Would she accept his advances?
Lina approached his car and tapped on the window.
Edwin stepped out, his voice rough.
“Mrs. Garcia.”
Lina had always harbored a fondness for him, yet she had also slapped him once for Laura. Unlike earlier, she was composed now.
With Laura gone, Lina believed it was time to convey some harsh truths to Edwin. She thought that might help him understand what he needed to do. She said earnestly, “Laura is going abroad to seek medical help. She has been battling mild depression, and recently, it has been worsening, possibly progressing into moderate depression. If you really do care about her, please stop pestering her. She’s not like other people.”
Edwin was taken aback.
Laura was unwell. How come he had never been aware of it?
Lina offered a faint smile and added, “That’s the situation. Even if you two have feelings for each other, what good would it do? Your mother’s opposition to your relationship would always come first to you. Besides, Laura herself would maintain her distance due to your family’s circumstances. Edwin, Laura doesn’t want to be with you. She might be fond of this ‘Nelson’ guy, but when it comes to Edwin, she can’t afford to have those feelings.”
Edwin felt someone had gripped his heart and squeezed it.
He gazed at the departing car, mumbling to himself, “I don’t know what’s come over me. I’m just filled with regret.”
It wasn’t that he was desperate to have her no matter what.
He simply couldn’t bear to witness her tears. He couldn’t bear to see her heart shattered.
