Chapter 66: A Morning Without Lin Jianxia

After calling out to her sister through the door, Lin Jianxia hurried into the bathroom.

Warm water cascaded from above, gradually soaking her hair. Lin Jianxia closed her eyes, letting the water droplets trail down her eyelashes.

It was as if her delayed emotions had finally caught up with her. Only now did she realize... exactly what she had just said. Almost instantly, an overwhelming wave of regret welled up in her chest.

"Was I too harsh when I said that...?" she thought.

She even felt a sudden urge to turn around and apologize immediately. But just as she shifted her body, those beautiful eyes dimmed once more. "The words have already been spoken. What's the use of apologizing now?" she reasoned. "He might even think... I'm just forcing myself to say it out of fear of losing my job."
