Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 52

"What is it that you really want?" Selena asked as she took a deep breath. She was clearly flustered.

"Nothing much. I just want my freedom back," I replied coldly.

She looked visibly frustrated by my answer. She took several deep breaths before muttering angrily, "What can I do so that you won't leave me?"

I wanted to leave, and she wanted me to stay. We were in a deadlock situation.

With no other choice, I decided to make a small concession. "Then at the very least, let me have my phone. Give me some way to communicate with the outside world. Being cooped up in this hospital all the time is really getting on my nerves."

I tried to keep my tone calm, but I was still feeling angry, and my tone showed that.

Selena hadn't expected me to be so insistent. After a moment's silence, she reluctantly nodded.

"Fine, I'll give you your phone," she said.

She looked at Zion, took a deep breath, and said, "But on one condition. You must promise me that you won't leave until I'm fully recovered. No matter what."

I didn't want to agree, but I had no choice.

"Zion, give him the phone."

It was clear now. If I could get Selena to bend, Zion would be just a nobody.

Once I agreed, she looked calm, although the color on her face was slightly drained and pale. "I still have work to handle. Both of you, please leave," she said weakly.

Zion shot me a fierce glare but turned and walked out.

I felt sadness for them when I thought of that. They chose the comfort of their rooms over the simple joys of nature.

Checking the time on my phone, I hesitated but finally logged in and contacted Sylvia. It took several tries before she finally picked up the video call.
