Chapter 16

Aвтор: Spring Sunlight
Zoe didn’t try to hide anything. She calmly told George everything about her past. At the end, she smiled faintly and added, “Honestly, I think I was pretty stupid. I ran myself into the ground and ended up with all these scars.”

As soon as she finished speaking, George shook his head and said firmly, “No. You’re amazing.”

There was a deep tenderness in his eyes that made Zoe’s nose sting. But she smiled again, more at ease now. “Anyway, it’s all in the past. I’m doing well now. What about you? Do you think you’ll ever be able to let go?”

George fell silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Then he began to tell his own story.

He was the illegitimate son of a wealthy family. His father was the CEO of a world-renowned jewelry brand, and his mother had been a kind woman who was deceived into the relationship. When she found out the truth, she left without hesitation, taking George with her. But his father wouldn’t let them go.

    Dylan’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”Zoe closed her eyes. “Dylan, everything you saw in your dream… it all truly happened. But it was in our past life.”Dylan was too stunned to speak. His mind spun in chaos.Scene after scene flashed through his memory, and in that moment, he finally understood what Zoe meant when she said they were even now.After a long silence, he choked out, “So everything you changed this time… it was to avoid repeating the same mistakes?”Zoe nodded. “Dylan, I don’t hate you anymore. But I don’t love you either.“What we had… it was always a doomed entanglement. And now that it’s over, we can both live our own lives. From now on, let’s go our separate ways.”With that, she turned and walked toward the door.Dylan snapped out of it and quickly got out of bed to follow her.Seeing her frown, he stopped and took a cautious step back. “I just have one last question.”“Go ahead.”Dylan hesitated, then quietly asked, “Do you really love George?”“I do

    Zoe rushed to George’s side. His face was pale, blood dripping from his nose. The moment she saw him like that, fury exploded inside her.Without hesitation, she turned and slapped Dylan hard across the face.“You bastard! Hurting me wasn’t enough? Now you’re going after George too?!”The sharp crack echoed in the cold air. Red fingerprints bloomed across Dylan’s pale cheek. He stood frozen, blood still dripping from his knuckles, but the pain in his chest cut far deeper.Zoe’s voice trembled with rage. “What did I ever do to deserve this from you? I already told you—we’re done. So why won’t you just leave me alone? Why?!”Tears spilled from her eyes before she could stop them.George had never seen her this upset before. His heart ached.He pulled her into his arms and whispered, “Zoe, it’s okay. He didn’t hit me. I’m fine. Don’t let him upset you.”Zoe wiped her tears and forced herself to calm down. But when she saw the blood still on George’s face, she panicked, fumbling to

    In an instant, Dylan’s face turned deathly pale. His whole body trembled, and he couldn’t get a single word out.“Zoe, what’s wrong?” George stepped out of the office and immediately rushed to her side, taking her hand with concern.Zoe took a deep breath, then shook her head softly. “I’m fine.”George bent down and picked up the books she had dropped. Then he turned to Dylan with a cold stare. “Mr. Xander, if you truly feel guilty, then the best thing you can do is leave. Stop interfering with Zoe’s life.”“You don’t get to tell me what to do!” Dylan’s eyes burned red with fury, his clenched fists white from the pressure.George knew there was no getting through to him, so he stopped trying. Turning to Zoe, he asked gently, “Do you want me to request some time off for you?”Zoe shook her head. “I’m fine. Go on—don’t be late for class.”Then she turned to Dylan, her voice turning cold. “I don’t want to see you again. We’re adults. Let’s at least try to leave each other some dign

    “Young love is always the hardest to let go of, especially when it runs that deep,” George thought.He hesitated for a moment, then said, “But I trust you. I trust your character, your heart... everything.”There was something deeply moving about being trusted so completely. Zoe’s eyes reddened as she whispered, “Thank you, George.”The two of them stood there for a long time under the streetlight, holding each other in a quiet, comforting embrace.Through the window, Dylan saw it all. His hands started trembling again, his breathing grew erratic. The ringing in his ears made his vision blur. He crouched down, gasping for air, completely shaken but his eyes never wavered.He wasn’t giving up. Zoe was his.Over the next few days, Dylan found a place to stay near the school and started hanging around every day, trying to talk to her.Zoe ignored him, and unlike before, Dylan didn’t lash out. He just followed quietly behind.At first, she thought his body wouldn’t hold out for lon

    Dylan looked at her, his voice weak. “Zoe, can we talk—just the two of us?”George glanced at him, then stepped toward the door. But before he could leave, Zoe gently pulled him back.“We can talk here,” she said coolly.Dylan’s fists clenched at his sides, his face growing even paler. “Do you hate me that much?”Zoe replied without hesitation, “I don’t hate you. I just see you as a familiar stranger now. And I don’t want anything to do with you anymore.”Her tone was calm, but her words cut through Dylan like a knife to the bone. His palm was nearly bleeding from how hard he had been digging his nails into it. His lips moved, but no words came out.He had done so much wrong. Who could possibly forgive that?After a long silence, Dylan lowered his eyes. “Ever since you left, I’ve been living in constant pain. Then I got sick.”When Zoe didn’t respond, he shut his eyes briefly, then told her everything that had happened over the past four months.By the time he finished, his vo

    Zoe shook her head. “Dylan, we’ve already said everything that needed to be said. We don’t owe each other anything anymore, so there’s really nothing left to talk about. Please leave. Don’t come looking for me again.”Without another glance at him, she turned and walked away, her fingers still laced with George’s.“Zoe!” Dylan called out, trying to follow but the school principal stepped in to block his path.“Sir, this is a school. Please keep your voice down. If you have personal matters to discuss, come back after school hours.”Though reluctant, Dylan didn’t want to cause trouble for Zoe. He forced himself to swallow his emotions and walked away from the hallway.After the commotion, Zoe returned to class as usual. The children, thankfully, were understanding. No one whispered or giggled. They simply sat and listened, just like always.Later that afternoon, Zoe and George planned to visit the colorful flags like they did most days. But as soon as they stepped out of the schoo
