Sylvia's POV:
I was stunned for a long time when I heard what Harry said before I smiled bitterly. "The world is so huge. There must be some place I can go to. Don't worry. I'm incredibly powerful now. Ordinary people can't defeat me, and I know witchcraft."
Besides, if I truly found a place to settle down, I believed it would be very remote. Generally, such a place would rarely have contact with the outer world. Most of the residents would be simple and friendly, and there would be very few disputes or troubles.
This was the only way I would be able to hide my identity well.
Harry sneered. "You are so powerful now that you don't need your friends anymore. You don't treat us like real friends. Otherwise, how could you have kept such an important thing from us all this time? If we hadn't created a ruckus today, I'm certain you wouldn't even have bothered to meet us one last time."
"That's enough, Harry. Don't be so mean. We are all devastated about what has happened," Joanna chimed in to stop Harry.
His expression hardened. He remained silent after Joanna's interruption.
She sighed and wrapped me in a hug. "Sylvia, I know you're the one suffering the most. Harry cares about you and doesn't want you to go through this hardship, so he said those words in anger."
I was silent for a few seconds, but in the end, I couldn't hold my tears back. Harry's eyes also turned red, but he remained silent.
As I leaned against Joanna's shoulder, I was so overwhelmed with sadness that I couldn't control myself. "I'm sorry. I'm not as cold-hearted as you think. I just didn't know what to do or how to tell you. I didn't want you to be involved in this mess. Of course, I don't want to leave my friends, everything I have worked so hard to achieve, and Rufus. But I truly have no other choices."
"Will you give us your location once you settle down?" Harry asked.
"Let's see what happens then." I was not sure about giving them my address. After all, I had to be cautious since I was supposed to be dead.
Harry remained silent for a while, and then said, "Well, it's your decision."
After saying this, he rushed out, his eyes bloodshot. Joanna was worried about him, so she apologized to me and followed him out.
I heaved a sigh of relief. I knew that Harry had agreed to comply with my request. Although he blamed me right now, I believed that time would resolve everything.
