章節 888: Chapter 104: Rejected Luna

*Eliza*

I opened my eyes and it felt like I couldn’t breathe. Sitting up, I pounded on my chest, heaving and hyperventilating. My stomach twisted and tears stung my eyes. In my chest, my heart trembled and I felt like it would shatter into a million pieces.

This was what it felt like to be rejected….

“Eliza….” My mother’s voice came from the side of the bed. I looked over to see her offering me a cup of water to drink.

I gulped it down and looked to the window to see that the sun was setting.

“What day is it?” I croaked.

“It’s still your birthday… apparently curse day,” she said tersely.

My eyes drifted to her, and I could see the flood of a thousand questions wash over her face.

“Why didn’t you tell us what was really going on?” she asked.

“There was nothing you could have done,” I answered hoarsely.
