Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 837

In that instant, their eyes met. Neither spoke, simply gazing at one another in a silence that felt strangely heavy.

After a half-minute, the corners of Celine’s eyes lifted into a slight curve, a smile spreading across her stiff features as her sweet voice broke the silence. “Juniper, come here to me.”

Juniper’s heart clenched, and her eyes reddened against her will. Celine remembered everything!

“Okay.” Juniper’s legs felt like lead as she moved to Celine’s bedside.

“It’s been a long time, Juniper.” Celine reached out and gently pulled her younger sister into an embrace, tears streaming down her face. “I’m so sorry, Juniper. I failed to protect you.”

Juniper let herself be held, a lump in her throat making it impossible to speak. Her hands clutched at the hem of Celine’s clothes, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.

“Have you been well all these years?” Celine asked.

“Very well,” Juniper managed, licking her dry lips to find her voice. “The others want to see you too.”

Hearing their conversation, Jimmie led the rest of the group forward. Another round of emotional greetings followed. Celine reminisced about their childhood, recalling numerous amusing stories in vivid detail.

“Celine, besides us, do you remember anyone or anything else?” Ebony Fox asked.

“Anyone else?” Celine looked at everyone present, her smile widening as she shook her head. “Is there anyone else?”

Everyone fell silent.

“I’m a little tired,” Celine said after a while, letting out a yawn. “I think I’ll sleep a bit more.”

“Celine, don’t you remember…” Melvin couldn’t help but speak up, seeing that she remembered everyone but had failed to mention Warren.
