Chapter 215: The music box

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Anna left Alice's villa and walked alone on a suburban road.

She was in a daze, her mind foggy, and the wound on her hand, left untreated, had begun to scab over.

The items she had prepared in her pocket went unused,she didn't even have the courage to pull them out in the end.

She had lost, completely and utterly.

Why? Why had Ryan rejected her under those circumstances? Why did he choose to stay there instead of leaving with her?

Was it all just wishful thinking on her part? Did Ryan not need her help at all?

Muttering to herself, the road ahead seemed blurry.

She moved forward like a puppet, unsure of where she was even supposed to go.

"Hey! Watch it! Are you blind? Look out for the car!"

The scream seemed to pierce through Anna's eardrums as she numbly looked towards the source of the noise.
