His breath caught for a moment. “Lila, don’t say things you don’t mean,
“From now on, I won’t make a fuss with you anymore. I won’t ask you to only look at me, so you can stand beside anyone you want.” Lila had been hurt many times when she saw Dorian standing next to Zara. It was hard to look at, and her chest tightened with pain. Now she could tell him to be with someone else without a second thought
Dorian was shaken to his core. It felt like his heart was being ripped open, making it hard to breathe.

Lila frowned. The reason she had returned to Mount Shasta that day was to sever their bond by breaking their destiny talisman.
But right now, she had no desire to talk to him anymore. Not even an explanation.
Donan didn’t get angry when she didn’t respond. Just imagining how she had been alone in a foreign country, facing possible death from illness, made him realize how much resentment she held.
He knew he was at fault,
It didn’t matter if she denied loving him now. He would go Mount Shasta himself, retrieve the evidence, and wear the sandalwood bracelet again.
