Chapitre 229: The fight(2)

Lily gave Melina's hands a squeeze.

"I can stay and help if you want me to," Lily offered. "I don't want to just leave."

"I don't want you to be in danger. Please. I can't lose someone else that I care about," Melina begged her.

Lily frowned, but she nodded her understanding. She pulled Melina into a tight hug.

"I'll see you again, okay? Soon," she said with a hopeful look on her face.

Melina forced a smile on her face and nodded.

"Of course," she replied.

Elias felt an ache echo through his chest as he watched Melina say goodbye to Lily. It felt like a final goodbye in a way, but they didn't want to admit that.

He thanked Lily before she left the RV and hurried to her car. He hoped that Alaric didn't track her down.

"I can't lose her. Did I make a mistake by calling her here?" Melina asked Tyler, quietly fretting.

Tyler cupped her face and shook his head, leaning close to her.
