Bab 446: This gamble

"Leah… Leah…" he continued calling that name while his body shook like a leaf in the wind and his deep voice sounded as though it was drenched in so much sorrow that Vera could feel her own heart break without knowing why. 

Vera felt like she was breaking down as well since the moment he called that name out with his broken voice. And as he continued calling that name out, her heart kept on breaking like glass being hammered on again and again. 

She stayed very still, letting him hug her so tight as he called out someone else's name. Then a small, pained smile curved slightly on her face. Why? Why must you end my dream this soon? She knew that with her luck, all that had happened was just too good to be true. Just as she wanted to throw herself fully into this dream come true, it all came crashing down like a house made of glass.
