Chapter 206
Serenity then heard herself singing “Walk of Life’ in her childish voice.
“W-what if we get caught again? What if we can’t escape?” The little boy’s voice rang again.
“Silly. Why can’t we escape? I’ll definitely get you out!”
“If you leave me behind, you’ll surely escape.”
“I won’t leave you behind! I promised to protect you, so I will protect you! I’m not afraid of those bad
guys!”
“Why won’t you leave me?”
“Because we’re friends!!
“Ah!” Serenity jolted out of sleep and sat up from the bed. When her eyes fluttered open, all she saw
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas the dim light.
She was still in her rented place!
Serenity breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. It was only 3 arm.
Was that a dream? She seemed to have dreamed about her younger self. She had been talking to a
boy and singing the song Walk of Life” by Teresa
‘Oh, Go d.” Serenity wondered how she could have such a dream. Did she dream of singing the song
because she had listened to
it countless times in Lucas ‘s car earlier?
However…The scene in the dream seemed very real. It was as if it had truly happened before…
At the same time, one of the rooms in the Gomez Residence remained brightly lit. Lucas was sitting in
front of a painting, staring at it quietly.
On the painting was a little girl carrying a little boy, walking forward in a thorny forest.
Luca s’s fingers slowly slide across the little girl’s face. He murmured, “When will I ever see you
again?”
His whispering voice seemed shrouded with nostalgia, regret, disappointment, and filled with
unspeakable pain. The memory
of certain people and events would not fade as time passed. Instead, it became more vivid with time
and eventually turned
into an obsession.
Two days later, Uncle Francis called, urging Serenity to pay a quarter of the medical bill. After much
deliberation, Serenity gave Lisa a call.
“Lisa, can you lend me 1,100 dollars? I need it urgently, but I can’t pay you back right away. I’ll probably
pay you back in monthly installments,” Serenity said with some difficulty
If she could, she really did not want to keep troubling Lisa. Serenity was indebted to Lisa for all she had
done for her, but she could not return anything to her.
“Sure, I’ll transfer the money to you on my phone,” Lisa cheerfully said.
“Thanks,” Serenity answered softly.
“Serenity, don’t worry about it. You don’t have to rush to pay back the money either. Just do it when you
have the money.”
Lisa said.
Even so, Serenity wanted to pay off the money as soon as possible. She did not want to owe Lisa too
much. Therefore, when Xyla introduced her to a part-time job for extra money, she quickly said yes.
