chapter 72 feeling relieved?

the way to the restaurant was silent and awkward.

Alexander was confused.

He knew Jude invited him because he told her he witnessed the scene in hospital.

last time she wasn't able to know the details and wanted to ask with which he had no problem.

what he was confused about was seeing her and Kristopher together in a mall

Like wasn't Kris her enemy until recently?

what the hell happened?

All of them went to a fancy restaurant as they can have the privacy they wanted there

After they were done ordering the room fell silent before Alexander decided to break it

"So what should i tell and what should you tell?"

"what you were doing in the hospital? as far as i know the hospital was evacuated of people. also how much did you saw and know"

Jude asked gaining a questionable look from Kristopher. Alexander noticed and started explaining

"I actually came to meet you Jude. News of the accident spread like fire in the university and i was quiet worried but when i arrived you weren't in sight. i wanted to use the washroom but for some reason the public washroom was closed so a staff showed me way to staff washroom. when i came out the hospital looked oddly quiet. i tried going to front desk but i heard noises from one room.

when i followed i saw you two and another woman with guards.

i heard everything and saw everything

The situation looked very dangerous. I got scared so i ran into the same staff washroom and locked myself up and didn't came out. the next morning i sneaked out and blended into the people as they were back.

i didn't attend the university for few days and when i finally mustered the courage to go i found out about Derek's passing away due not having enough blood. i knew that wasn't true but i was scared to came out and report it hence i just kept quiet until recently my family forcing me to go to blind dates. it was a pure coincidence that i met you . though i was and am still scared i knew i had to tell you all this."

Alexander's explanation was so long that their food had arrived but it was as if they all had lost their appetite.

Jude didn't knew how to feel about having a witness to what had happened to them.

is it a good thing or bad thing?

looks like only time would answer that question

"Alex. Kristopher didn't knew about the existence of Derek.

You saw the time when he found out and we did had a fight because of it. huffff

As you saw that night our family backgrounds.......they....are hufff fucked up really bad.

we both are trying to separate ourselves from our twisted families but.....it's just complicated.

so we decided to help each other out as we are kind of already tangled with each other"

it was very awkward for Jude to explain herself. She never liked this feeling in fact she hated it.

Suddenly she felt a warm hand on hers.

She looked at Kristopher who gave her a warm smile.

once again her heart fluttered like crazy. The weird feeling she hated moments ago was replaced with yet another weird feeling but this time she didn't hate it at all.

she actually liked it

"I don't judge you"

Jude head snapped towards Alex "Pardon?" She asked

"i don't judge you neither i think bad of you. We all have a past.

some are more twisted than others but your past doesn't define who you are at this moment. what you choose right now does"

Once again the room fell silent but it was anything but awkward.

More like comfortable silence.

"Let's eat before food gets really cold"

Kristopher suggested as they all started eating.

After what Alexander said Jude felt relieved.

Why was she feeling relieved?

Was it because Alexander said what he said?

but she never cared for what people said about her or she actually did care but pretended not to care?

whatever the reason was she couldn't care less as she was busy eating her white sauce pasta.

Even after she was done eating she felt hungry and ordered one more serving.
