章 284: The guilt was just irrelevant

Though shocking, Marg had expected it. She could tell it the moment she'd first seen that gaze, the moment she saw…

Elsa was Helio's sister. And though they weren't blood-related, Helio really believed Elsa to be his sister. And Marg understood that well. 

That was why, things were shocking and complicated. 

"But you can do that as his sister and-" Marg paused. They were in a room of sorts. A small room with not much. She didn't want to say it but- but she had to. "And what if he rejects you?"

Elsa loved Helio. Not just sisterly love, no, rather it was the romantic kind. 

Elsa smiled. "Then I'll just accept that. I mean, I can't stay focused on him forever. I'll have to move on eventually." She looked up, stared at the ceiling, and then smiled at Marg. "But I want to do that on my terms. If he rejects me then so be it. I'll keep loving him, but I suppose it'll be just as a sister then like you said."
