Chapter 30 Healing Wounds In Silence

• Theo remained silent for a moment after hearing Hazel’s response. He reflected, trying to understand what had just happened. “It seems like she really misunderstood,” he thought, full of regret. However, those words felt empty. It seemed like nothing could change what had already occurred.
• Meanwhile, Hazel walked quickly to the kitchen, trying to calm herself, even though her heart couldn’t lie. Everything she had just seen kept swirling in her mind. So many unspoken questions. Why was Theo so close to Erica? What really happened in the guest room? Why did she feel unappreciated? All those questions only made her feel more trapped.
• Not long after Hazel left, Theo felt uneasy. He knew that what had just happened might have hurt Hazel deeply. On the other hand, he found it difficult to explain everything so easily, especially given the complicated situation. He knew, deep in his heart, that Hazel must have been anxious and worried—not only about their relationship but also about her grandmother’s condition, which had been deteriorating for a while.
