Chapter 272: Would You Always Stay With Me?

TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide Attempt (mentioned)

On the outside, it seemed that everything was fine but only Shouko knew how the restraints she put around her fragile heart was on the verge of collapsing.

Shouko tried to not let the cruel words crumbled her newly found resolve. Once she got back to the apartment complex, she busied herself with cooking a simple meal and then having a rest in the living room. She had even forbidden her bodyguards to say a word to Kyoya about her meeting the vicious women.

It was better to not create a fuss.

You can do it, Shouko.

Don't let them hinder you.

Shouko inwardly repeated the same words to chase the ugly whispers away. She put aside the new books she had bought and taken one out of the stack.

The title was read; As Our Child Departed to Heavens.

Shouko softly read the excerpts at the back of the book.
