Chapter 201 Venting Out
York Charlie gave a laugh in the face of Blanche Capra’s silence. Blanche Capra raised her eyes to look at him, only to see a frosty coldness on his face and an obscure pain of disappointment in his deep black eyes.
She couldn’t look away and was a little afraid to meet his eyes. When she was about to move away from the line of sight, the person in front of her suddenly let go of her hand, then turned around and sat back on the seat in front of the desk.
“There’s nothing else, so you can go out.” He said very faintly, his attitude and before a hundred and eighty degrees big change. Blanche Capra’s heart became heavy, no longer before the complex but mixed with can not be ignored subtle joy throbbing mood. But what could she do about this reality?
Was he finally disappointed in her?
Blanche Capra took one step outward, as if she could feel a hand again, one at a time, so consistent with the rhythm of her steps that it squeezed her heart with almost every step she took.
Hurting him, she finally realized, and hurting herself at the same time. But again, that hurt was something she couldn’t avoid, and she chose to face it honestly.
The moment her hand reached for the doorknob, the moment before she left the room completely, out of York Charlie’s sight, Blanche Capra spoke suddenly, as if she could no longer bear the pain in her heart, she whispered, “The milk is cold, don’t drink it.”
Without looking at York Charlie’s reaction or waiting for his reply, Blanche Capra opened the door and walked out. At that moment, she was like a fish that had suddenly left the water, and she didn’t know how much she wanted to turn around and go back into that water. But after all, she was not the fish that left the water, even if there was a lot of pain, leaving the water, she could still live.
After Blanche Capra left the Charlie Group, she received a phone call from Nadia, and they met again at the café.
Nadia saw her moping and asked cautiously, “What’s wrong? Did you find out something bad?”
Blanche Capra shook her head and smiled bitterly, “There’s just been so much going on lately.”
“What are you referring to?” She asked, and with that she said as if she remembered something, “By the way, I heard that THE Charlie Group has been having major problems lately.”
Blanche Capra looked out at the coffee on the table and suddenly asked her, “Do you remember Lorcan George?”
Nadia froze and nodded, “Of course I remember, wasn’t he your childhood friend? The one who later went abroad to study. You and I talked about it. And, also in the same city, I’ve heard about him and met him a few times.”
Blanche Capra nodded, “His father died, you know that too, don’t you?”
The more Nadia listened, the more confused she became, not understanding why she was bringing this up with her at this time, and seeing Blanche Capra continue, “He suspected that York Charlie did this, oh no, not suspected, he decided that it was York Charlie, so he’s going to take his revenge on …”
Nadia finally realizes why she’s telling herself this, and her eyes widen in surprise as she asks, “You’re telling me that the problems with THE Charlie Group are Lorcan George’s doing?”
Blanche Capra nods.
It takes Nadia a moment to digest this, and she raises her eyes to see the unmistakable sadness on Blanche Capra’s face, “So, do you think that York Charlie is responsible for the death of Lorcan George’s father? Is it difficult for you to be between those two men?”
Blanche Capra lurched in her hands, raised her head with some difficulty, and then gave her a long-lost look, a bitter and resigned look that Nadia had seen only on the face of the old Brandi.
Nadia remembers that it was York Charlie who suddenly ignored Brandi, and Brandi came running to her, aggravated and in great fear and pain, to tell her, “Why did he just ignore me? I didn’t do anything.”
Nadia asked her, “Isn’t York Charlie just so cold and uncaring?”
“But he treats me differently,” Brandi was so anxious she was about to cry, and she emphasized especially hard, “He really treats me differently, but this time he’s treating me the same as he treats everyone else, and I just realized that it’s such a painful thing to be treated like that by him.”
Then Brandi cried as she spoke.
Nadia, however, didn’t know how to comfort her, in fact, at that time, she didn’t really think much of the two of them in her heart, she just didn’t think they were a good match.
Then she witnessed the relationship between the two turn into that horrible level of hatred, into a tragic situation of you dying and me dying. And this best friend of hers, because she had gone through so much, even through life and death, turned from a simple and lovely little girl into a calm and intelligent woman.
At the beginning that she was all warm sunshine in her heart, now this one is all cold ice in her heart.
This is a cruel transformation process, she blood will pull out certain things, and forced herself to become another kind of completely different people, she is also the family from childhood spoiled princess, now has nothing, and the face of the extremely bleak reality of life can only be a lone warrior.
She was too heartbroken for her.
“Honey,” Blanche Capra’s eyes suddenly became red, affectionately called the former often called now but never touched the name, “in fact, there are a lot of things I have not told you … I really do not know what to do, I just know, just know that I have to accept it alone, face it alone, solve it alone, I don’t even allow myself to shed tears …”
Nadia saw the tears in her eyes, like that nighttime blip, briefly beautiful but amazing, and the more fleeting and precious and rare, the more she felt that she had lived a life that was really too bitter and too tired. Both were once carefree girls, and now that she is like this, Nadia’s eyes become sour and red.
She said, “Blanche, you need to stop pushing yourself and cry when you want to cry and laugh when you want to laugh, okay?” She choked on her voice.
Blanche Capra, however, didn’t make a reply but said with tears in her eyes, “I’m really annoyed and in pain, you asked me if York Charlie did what happened to Lorcan George’s father, and I don’t know if I know, and it’s a really hard feeling you know? You yourself are doubting yourself to death, but other people want you to give a positive answer, you say, even you don’t believe in yourself, how can you believe that you are trusting other people?”
Blanche Capra was talking more and more chaotically, and Nadia was getting more and more confused the more she listened to her, but she vaguely knew that Blanche Capra was in a state of extreme confusion, yet still being forced by herself and by others to make a choice in such a way that she was both overwhelmed, cramped, and agonized.
She didn’t understand her words, but she read the look on her face.
Nadia walked over to her and sat with her, unable to resist embracing her shoulders and patting her spine to soothe her. She couldn’t say anything, and it was useless to do so, because although she wasn’t the one in authority, she was still the one who couldn’t see.
Blanche Capra couldn’t help but cry out against her shoulder at her action.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
In the face of such an emotional her, Nadia suddenly felt that this venting out is not bad, at least, she no longer forced herself to be strong and calm, forced herself to collect all the emotions, and finally became a person whose whole body is full of dark wounds.
By then, what could be healed?
