Chapter 168 Did I see wrong that night? Part 3

After a long silence, I slowly opened my eyes and turned around to find Betty still standing behind me, her gaze melancholic yet defiant.

"Why haven't you left yet?" I asked, my voice tinged with resignation, my back still to Betty.

"And what about you?" Betty's reply was brief, but her three words were laden with tension and panic.

"I'm not going back..." It was hard to say, but I had to make it clear.

If Betty couldn't accept this, the lawyer's work would be stalled.

After I spoke, I didn't feel the relief I expected; instead, a sharp pain clutched at my heart.

I was nervous, even slightly afraid that Betty might just walk away after hearing my decision.

"Are you planning to stay here?" Betty seemed to have anticipated this, but her tone was still heavy with sorrow.

She posed the question, perhaps thinking I would stay with Luna.

But honestly, I hadn't thought about my own future.
