By admin Kendall felt a weight lift off her shoulders as Tiffany peeled back her facade. Her voice was calm, like still water. “I know everything you said. I’m not trying to compete with you.“[]
“Not trying? Then why are you still hanging around? You seriously think Elijah is going to fall for you? Women like you, who seduce their way into beds, are a dime a dozen. He’s probably bored of you by now.“]
Kendall frowned at Tiffany’s harsh words, countering, “And you, indulging your own sexual proclivities in Eurpoland and pretending to be pure when you come back, are just a bitch.“[]
At the mention of those things, Tiffany’s face twisted with anger. “What does it have to do with you?“[]
“So it’s true then?“]]
Tiffany could no longer hold back. She lifted her hand and slapped Kendall across the face. “So what if it is? I told you it doesn’t concern you. An old woman like you should hurry up and find an honest man to marry, or else you’ll be infertile and alone for life.“]]
Stinging from the slap, Kendall inhaled sharply and rubbed her swollen cheek, flexing her fingers.]
Then, with all her strength, she returned the slap.[]
Tiffany couldn’t bear the humiliation and lunged at Kendall, but just then, the door burst open.[]
Elijah appeared, and Tiffany immediately turned on the waterworks, rushing into his arms.[]
“Elijah. After you left, Kendall told me you two were dating, and I didn’t believe her. When I confronted her about it, she slapped me.“]]
Seeing the clear imprint of her hand on Tiffany’s face, Elijah felt a surge of anger. He shielded Tiffany with his body, glaring at Kendall. “Kendall, can you stop making a scene?“[]
It was the first time in five years that Kendall saw Elijah angry with her–and it was for Tiffany.[]
Having witnessed Elijah protect Tiffany repeatedly, Kendall felt neither disappointment, pain, nor anger.[]
In a voice stripped of any emotion, she replied, “I did slap her, but she slapped me first. It’s even. Why don’t you ask for the full story?“[]
Only then did Elijah notice her reddened cheek.[]
Realizing something was off, he opened his mouth to interrogate her about what happened, but Tiffany fainted in his arms.
Panic washed over him, and he rushed her to the examination room, leaving three words behind. “Take care. We’ll discuss this later.“[]
“There won’t be a later,” Kendall said quietly as she watched him leave.[]
She returned to her apartment and handed her keys to the landlord. “Please pack up the remaining things in my room and send them to 4015 West Mountain Villa, shipping to be collected upon delivery.“[]
The landlord noticed the many suitcases she had and asked, “Miss Finn, are you leaving Northland? Not coming back?“[]
“Yeah, I’m not coming back.“[]
There was nothing here worth holding onto anymore.[]
She took one last look before turning away and hailing a taxi to the airport.[]

Before the plane took off, the flight attendant reminded passengers to turn off their phones.[]
Kendall opened her Facebook and sent Elijah a message.
“Elijah, I heard everything you said at the club that day. Where there’s love, there’s also hate. But now, I don’t think I hate you as much–it’s probably because I don’t love you anymore. The good thing about being with me is that I know when to hold on and when to let go. I wish you the best in winning over your heart’s desire. Let’s break up.“]
In the end, she deleted all his contact information.[]
As the plane took off, she powered down her phone.[]
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Elijah brought Tiffany in for a series of tests. When the doctor received the reports, he frowned slightly and said with a hint of resignation, “Mr. Trevor, Miss Lin’s test results are all normal. There’s nothing wrong.“]
Elijah’s expression instantly darkened, and his voice turned icy. “If there’s nothing wrong, then why isn’t she awake yet?“[]
The doctor felt the weight of Elijah’s piercing gaze and hesitated before replying gently, “Her physical health is indeed fine, but as for why she hasn’t woken up yet. It could be psychological or she might just be resting.”
“Resting?” Elijah scoffed, impatience evident in his eyes. “Are you saying she’s faking it?“]
The doctor sputtered, overwhelmed by Elijah’s intensity. “No, no, that’s not what I meant. Just from a medical standpoint, there’s truly no issue with her health.“]
Ignoring the doctor, Elijah turned and went back to the hospital room, sitting beside Tiffany’s bed, his gaze heavy on her pale face.
He stayed by her side all day, his phone buzzing with messages he didn’t even glance at.[]
Finally, in the evening, Tiffany slowly opened her eyes.
“Elijah…” Her voice was weak, laced with a hint of her usual vulnerability.[]
