Chapter 107 Lucille Had Given Up

• Hendrix's words hit Flint like a sudden blow, leaving him shaken and unable to respond. Panic gripped his chest as confusion clouded his mind. The weight of what Hendrix said caused a wave of unease to crash over him, leaving him at a loss for how to process it.
• "Flint," Hendrix said, his voice unexpectedly serious, "If I treated Melanie the way you've treated Lucille, she would leave me in a heartbeat. Lucille has already endured your neglect for a whole year. That's impressive enough."
• Hendrix's statement, though intended as advice, struck Flint harder than he could have anticipated.
