But then she saw Thalassa, and all the hatred, anger and pain in Isabellaâs heart was stirred up.
Leopold was such a vibrant and handsome man, yet he met such a tragic end because of Thalassa!
Thalassa staggered into the middle of the road; clutching her suffocating heart, she was crying so hard that she couldnât even utter a single word to refute Isabella Lysander said Leopold had committed suicide, that he had jumped from a building when no one was watching.
She didnât know why Leopold would do such a thing, but Isabellaâs words filled her with guilt.
Had Leopoldâs sudden jump really been her fault?
Just a few days ago, he had taken her to Starhaven College. He was so full of life at that time.
She had also told him to let go of the past and start a new life.
Why, then?
Why did he choose this path of no return?
âThalassa, speak to me! Donât stay silent!â Isabella pointed at Thalassa with a fierce look, panting heavily.
With a trembling breath, Thalassa cried. She was unable to utter a single word.
As Isabella was about to rush forward, a red Volkswagen came by. Isabella stepped back due to the vehicle.
Screech!
The car stopped beside Thalassa. Hertha pushed open the car door, swiftly moving to embrace Thalassaâs fragile body.
The moment she held her, Hertha could feel Thalassaâs shaking body. That was breaking her heart.
Herthaâs heart sank as she turned to Isabella angrily, âIsabella, have you lost your mind? Did Thalassa pick on you or what?â
Isabella gritted her teeth; her breaths were fast and choppy, âShe killed Leopold and why I canât talk about it?â
âShut up!â Hertha bellowed, her eyes as wide as saucers as she said firmly to Isabella, âThalassa is the one who is most upset about Leopoldâs death! He could die for anyone, but not because of Thalassa!
Watch your tongue in the future!â
After her strong statement, she gave Isabella a glare, then she helped Thalassa into the car,, got in herself, and drove off.
Isabella stood rooted to the spot, watching Herthaâs red car disappear. Her fists clenched;. She gritted her teeth and her body stiffened as tears fell down her face.
She kicked the ground hard, then squatted down, holding her head and crying out loud.
Hertha held the steering wheel steady and drove slowly, mindful of Thalassaâs discomfort.
When she regained her composure and looked at Thalassa, who was sitting in the passengerâs seat, she saw a face marred by tear stains, a look of hollow sadness completely devoid of energy.
Herthaâs heart ached. She knew Thalassa was in pain.
She was also sad because Leopold was her classmate too. And they also had a good relationship because of Thalassa.
Now, he was just gone.
Herthaâs eyes filled with tears, but she choked back her sobs and said to Thalassa, âThalassa, let me take you back to Vibrant Oasis Residences.
Only Evelyn could comfort Thalassa in such state.
