Chapter 344: I'll Be There, Every Step Of The Way

Laina could not meet her eyes, but she embraced Margaret tightly. Who knew how much more time they had left? For all they knew, this could be their last few moments together. For the first time in a long while, Margaret realized how much Laina had changed. 

She was a lot skinnier than she used to be, a husk of her former self. The warmth of her skin felt weaker too. Was this simply her imagination, or was this real? Margaret could no longer tell. 

"I'm sorry, Margaret. This is something I have to do. I'm sorry," Laina apologised as she allowed her own tears to roll down her cheeks. 

Margaret had been looking out for her since the very beginning. Her best friend went through hell and back just to give her life once more. Now, she was about to throw it all away for the man that she loved.

"I know," Margaret sighed inbetween sobs.
