Chapter 870


    Skr held Simona close without saying anything.


    She gently patted her back. Simona sobbed against Skr’s shoulder for a long time.


    Once Simona’s emotions started to calm, Skr helped her back to the hospital bed. Perhapsforted by having someone


    with her, Simona quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep after lying down on the hospital bed.


    But she remained silent the entire time.

    Skr sat beside the bed, holding Simona’s hand tightly. Just by holding her hand, Simona seemed to


    find some small measure of relief from the fear gripping her heart.


    When Skr noticed Simona’s breathing bing steadier, she allowed herself to rx a little. At that moment, she took the time to quietly observe Sim


    Tears still clung to Simona’s eyshes, and her face was streaked with tear marks. Everything that had happened tonight


    had been an unimaginable ordeal for her.


    Those ssmates who hurt Simona and the other girl would have to pay for what they had done.


    Simona’s sleep was restless. After barely half an hour, she woke up with a jolt. She screamed, “No!”


    Her voice was raw and desperate. Skr was startled by Simona’s outcry and


    immediately moved to soothe her. “Simona, I’m here. Don’t be afraid. No one will ever hurt you again.”


    Simona’s terrified eyes slowly began to clear at Skr’sforting words. She clutched Skr’s hand even tighter.


    “Skr… I just don’t get it. I really don’t. I threatened them, begged them, and tried everything, but nothing worked. They were determined to bully me


    and Wendy.”


    Simona had never imagined that returning to school, filled with hope for the future and believing she had made good friends, would end


    up shattering all the dreams she had envisioned.


    It was like a beautiful dream that turned into a nightmare just before it ended. And just like that, she was plunged into hell.


    Skr’s voice was soft yet firm as she reassured Simona, “They will pay for this, Simona. I promise you.”


    Simona buried herself in Skr’s embrace, her voice trembling. “I know my brother won’t let them get away with this, and


    he’ll make sure they pay. But… my body hurts, my heart hurts, and then there’s Wendy… Wendy had already nned to go to the same


    college as her boyfriend, but now… what will she do?”


    Even at this moment, Simona’s main concern was still for the other girl. Skr’s heart ached at Simona’s resilience and kindness.


    “You both are brave girls. You won’t be defeated that easily,” Skr said softly.


    Simona bit down on her already injured lip. She knew Ajken would seek justice for her, but she was determined to fight for herself too. But Wendy


    Specter


    Wendy had always been so timid.


    When they were rescued, Wendy had passed outpletely. Skr was right. The ones at fault were those guys, not them.
