Chapter 161 What Do You Want (1/2)

Jean was brought back from her contemplation. She raised her eyes and looked at Maranda. Her expression conveyed the shock she felt.

Even more surprising was Maranda's expression. Her face was full of bitterness, sorrow, and resignation.

”Don't tell me that you passed out because of this news.” Jean asked gingerly.

”Partly, yes. I admit that I was shocked, overwhelmed even. But the girl…” Maranda's face paled as she spoke about her feelings.

”It's all right, ” Jean comforted her friend. ”This has nothing to do with us. That girl he likes could be a fairy or a monster, it doesn't matter. If he doesn't like you, then it just shows that he has bad taste. Maranda, you need to get better. You will find your true love sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.”

Jean showed no interest in learning more about the girl John liked. She focused entirely on her friend.

Maranda was deeply touched and she threw herself into Jean's arms.

”Hey, be careful. You are still on the IV.” Jean exclaimed with surprise. Maranda could have hurt herself!

Maranda shook her head as guilt flooded her.

She had once suspected that Jean was deceiving her as Jean had already known who John loved.

However, just now…

Maranda suddenly despised herself.

'Jean has done everything a good friend should. How could I suspect her of withholding a secret from me?

Jean probably didn't know! If she did then John wouldn't have warned me not to tell her.'

Maranda felt such deep regret that she wanted to sob like a child. 'Jean, I am sorry. I doubted you and questioned you.

Sorry…'

Jean would never know what Maranda was feeling and thinking.

Perhaps she saw Maranda as some sort of spoiled princess.

Someone who refused to face reality when she didn't get what she desired.

Of course, Jean wouldn't know that she was the monster being accused of.

”Jean, don't you want to know about the girl John loves? You know her too.” Maranda was beating herself up inside. She decided that the only way she would feel better is to tell the truth.

She wouldn't wrong Jean again. And, Jean had the right to know the truth as well.
