Chapter 215 All this time, the answer is so simple... (2/2)
'How could you say such things to me, Giselle?'
'I don't want to see you two get so close and only to regret it later.' – Anna's words, Lillian recalled.
'Who is Giselle to you?' – Diego's acquisition.
All this time, people around Lillian warned her with the same subject.
'Who is Giselle to you?'
'Giselle-'
'Giselle, she is special.'
”She is mine,” Lillian mumbled.

”Huh? What are you saying, Lilly?” Diego called.
Diego sensed something displeasing coming from Lillian Grey. She wasn't looking like herself.
All of a sudden, Lillian ceased moving.
Diego limped from her abrupt halt. Following her, he stopped as well.
”What happened, Lilly?” he kept asking her, worriedly.
”I need to go,” she spoke.
”What?”
”I need to go- to the restroom. Excuse me,” Lillian said and then walked away from the spot.
She didn't even seem to remember that it was Diego to whom she responded. No one seems to appear in her vision except the images of one girl, Giselle.
Lillian rushed to the restroom as fast as she could.
Diego looked dumbfounded from what just happened right now. He found himself standing alone, on the dance floor, without a partner. It took a few minutes to realize that his partner left him in the middle of their dance.
Rather than jumping into conclusions, he quietly walked away and went to the corner. He waited near the exit, where Lillian ran off.

Standing in front of the mirror, Lillian Grey saw her reflection.
How red she appeared!
All this time, she had been turning a blind eye to her friends, to Giselle, and her own feelings. She kept confusing herself about love when the answer is so simple.
'Do I really like Giselle?' – Lillian asked herself the question.
Yes, Giselle did confess to Lillian. She was the first one to reach out, but as they spent time together and got to know each other, things changed.
Lillian began to like Giselle.
Not only her, but her personality, her character, her cute expressions, the way she talked, the way she moved, and overall her entire existence.
'When did I start liking her?' – Lillian wondered as she stood in the empty bathroom while witnessing herself in the mirror.
It was so unclear when the feeling grew, but by the time they went to the trip, Lillian felt attached to Giselle already.
When she took Giselle to the secret place, Lillian's heart seemed to accept that Giselle is someone special, unlike anyone in her life.
That night when Giselle, for the first time, hugged Lillian, she remembered how it felt. Her touch and the warmth it gave to Lillian.
She remembers it all.

Several minutes are gone, but there was no sign of Lillian Grey returning. Diego's fear deepened each second. He searched for Anna and found her happily dancing with her partner, Anthony.
Unable to break their peace, Diego tried calling Lillian. She must have a mobile phone with her.
No matter how many times he tried, the call won't get connected.
Diego panicked. His hands trembled as he pressed the 'call back' button, again and again, reaching out to Lillian Grey.
Still, there was no response.
He lost all of his strength. Losing his balance, Diego stood with supporting his weight on the wall.
His mobile buzzed.
It was a text from Lillian Grey.
Diego opened it immediately.
//
Lilly:
I'm sorry, Diego. I'm not feeling well, and so, I'll be leaving right now. I will talk to you soon.
//
Diego felt his heartfelt tight after reading the message.
'What does she mean by leaving?' – he read the message, again and again, trying to find any clues or hidden information behind it.
However, there was none.
By the time he went out and searched everywhere, Lillian Grey had already left the campus.
'Where are you, Lillian Grey?' – Diego cried to himself.

Lillian paused her footsteps.
She was on the road, and without the jacket, Lillian was freezing in the cold night. She remembered leaving the coat inside the car. All she carried with her at that time was her mobile phone. Everything else should be in the car or with Anna.
Nonetheless, it doesn't matter to Lillian anymore, because she was on a pursuit.
