Chapter 389
I answered the iing video call, and my eyes fell on Queenie’s thin and haggard face. I found it to
be a painful sight.
Since Felix’s surgery, I had been busy drawing and finding time to take care of him. My mood became
so depressed that I even lost contact with my close friends.
Whenever someone called, I was not in the mood to talk much and would hang up quickly.
I didn’t expect that in just two months of not seeing each other, Queenie would be so thin. The
weariness and sadness in her eyes were so heavy that she no longer looked like a woman in her early
20s.
She looked more like an elderly person who had experienced life’s hardships.
She had always been a positive and optimistic person. She had a particrly straightforward
personality. The only thing that could torment her like this would be love.
Since college, Queenie and Fylnn had been entangled with each other. They had been. through many
ups and downs over the years.
If someone were to say that there was no bond between them, I wouldn’t believe it. Flynn had once
gone to great lengths for Queenie, disregarding everything for her.
But love sometimes really wasn’t worth much in the face of reality.
At least among the people I had seen, none had abandoned their families and businesses for love.
Matthew had liked me for so many years, but parting ways was still our final oue.
Fortunately, I hadn’t fallen in love with him when I discovered our problem and managed to stop it in
time.
As for Queenie, she had poured her heart into loving Flynn for many years. Now that she was
heartbroken, it was very painful.
I nestled back into my bed, put on my earphones, and got prepared to have a good chat with her. In her
current state, I was really afraid she might do something irrational.
“Queenie, why have you be so thin?”
Tears welled up in her eyes. Her thin face was pale, and her eyes were filled with despair. She looked
like she had lost hope. “Lulu, I can’t go on anymore. I want to leave this ce.”
“Calm down and tell me what happened,” I asked anxiously. Seeing her this desperate, tears

started pooling in my eyes too.
Helen handed me some tissues. I took them and pressed them to my eyes, crying along with Queenie.
We used to talk about everything, but now that we were separated, we could only stay in touch through
the phone. All I could do now was tofort her and to cry with her.
“Do you still remember his childhood sweetheart? The one who keeps entangling herself with Flynn. It’s
not that I don’t trust him, but the things he did has made me lose my confidence in him.
“He promised toe over on my birthday, but in the end, he called to say an emergency came up, so
he couldn’t make it. He then gave me money to buy a gift for myself.
“After that, his childhood sweetheart posted a photo and wrote that she was grateful to be able to go to
the sea with the person she loves. I could immediately recognize the person in the photo. It was Flynn.
“When it was his birthday, I went to celebrate with him, but he was partying with his family and friends.
He said he didn’t want to make me feel awkward, so I stayed alone in the hotel the whole night. But she
posted photos of him holding her hand when he cut the cake and set off fireworks.
“Every time I asked him, he would say she was just a childhood friend, and there was nothing between
them. I believed him each time.
“But this morning, she came to mypany with her mother to scold me, saying that I was shameless
and despicable for being the third party. She said that I was pestering Flynn and was just his ything.
They even said that even if Flynn favored me, I’d still have to watch him marry someone else.”
Queenie cried uncontrobly.

“What the hell? How could they say such things to you? We witnessed what happened between you
and Flynn. You’re clearly in love. What’s wrong with that? I think they’re just narrow–minded people.
What about Flynn? What did he say?”
