How could this happen…noveldrama

Vincent looked at Verena earnestly and advised gently, “You need to move on, Verena. There is no way you and Lucas can be together.”

Verena shook her head in defiance.

“No! I refuse to believe it! I can’t accept that he’s so heartless! After all these years together, how could he simply discard everything like this?”

Verena then turned to face Vincent directly.

“Vincent, please help me with this! Please…”

But Vincent remained unmoved by her desperation.

“The most I can do is take you home now. As for anything beyond that… I’m afraid I cannot help you.”

He rose to his feet with a sense of finality.

“So, are you coming or not?”

Verena remained seated on the floor, lost in thought. After a prolonged silence that seemed to stretch on,

Stretching on forever, she finally spoke softly.

“You go ahead and leave. I want to be alone for a bit.”

Vincent didn’t attempt to persuade her further; he simply nodded before leaving the room.

Soon enough, Verena was left alone in the private room.

She wiped away the tears staining her face, and a profound hatred flickered in her red and swollen eyes.

She retrieved her phone from her pocket and made a call.

The call was quickly answered.

“When do you intend to act?” Verena inquired in a calm voice.

“I haven’t made up my mind yet,” the person on the other end of the line replied.

“The sooner, the better!” Verena gritted her teeth as she forced out each word.

There was about a ten-second pause before the person finally replied,

“Okay, I understand.”

After disconnecting the call, with resolve etched across her features, Verena stood up from the floor and turned to leave the private room. Her posture was straight and determined—a silent promise that she would not let this moment define her.

Belinda hadn’t driven her car that day; Bethany had picked her up from the hospital earlier.

However, as they were leaving together, Bethany abruptly stated that she had something urgent to attend to and couldn’t drive Belinda home, asking her to let Lucas drive her back.

Lucas agreed readily—his eagerness evident as if he had been waiting for this opportunity all along.

Belinda rolled her eyes at Bethany’s sudden change of plans but ultimately climbed into Lucas’ car with resignation.

Once inside the vehicle, she hesitated for a moment before breaking the silence with a pointed question.
