Chapter 234 Lucian Makes Moves

• Crystal sat on the edge of her bed, her mind still reeling from the conversation with Rhea. The silence in the room was heavy, filled with the weight of decisions that needed to be made. She felt torn, her heart pulling her in different directions, each path fraught with uncertainty and the potential for pain. Just as she was about to give in to the overwhelming emotions swirling inside her, a soft knock echoed through the room, pulling her back to the present.
• Startled, Crystal’s heart skipped a beat. She stood up, smoothing the wrinkles from her dress with trembling hands. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she moved toward the door, her steps slow and hesitant. As she opened it, her eyes met Lucian’s, and for a moment, she felt a flicker of something familiar, something comforting.
• “Lucian,” she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper.
