章節 43: Chapter 43 Break The Chain.

The atmosphere inside the room grows thick with tension. Woody stills beside me, unaware of how to react. He slowly turns to face me, surprise and shock sprawled across his face. I feel my cheeks burn with embarrassment and I get the urge to curl up and die so I don't have to face him.

"You love me?" Woody whispers, his dark eyes searching mine. My tongue dries out and I open my mouth to respond but I'm left speechless. The sound of the door opening breaks the silence in the room. Uncle Tobias enters before heading straight for my parents.

"You're awake!" Uncle Tobias smiles, hugging both of my parents. All three of them fade out in the background and all I can focus on is Woody. He's still staring at me, waiting for my response. I swallow nervously and suddenly stand up, desperately needing to change the subject. I walk towards Mum, feeling light headed and woozy. She gestures for me to take a seat on her bed and gives me an apologetic look.
