Bella slammed on the brakes. "What? You're jolding right?"
Lia was on the verge of tears. "Does it look like I'm joking? | just saw him wearing the scarf | knitted. | gave that
scarf to the guy I've been talking to online! No wonder he has always refused to meet with me.
"I poured my heart out to him. | even told him my actual nand the address to my studio. There's no way he
doesn't know it's me. He's doing it on purpose!" nella reorganized her thoughts. "Wait... You're saying that he's
chatting with you anonymously despite knowing who you are?"
norded firmly. "That's right. When | gave him the scarf, | practically had to force him to accept it. He ignored me
for days afterward, and we only made up really. Most importantly, | fucking told him I liked him!"

Bella was flabbergasted. She didn't expect Lia to do something like this. "What did he say in response to that?"
After thinking about it, Lia replied, "He said we barely knew each other, and | might be confused. We should get
to low each other a bit more before meeting up."
She continued, "I'd like nothing more than to crawl into a hole right now. Wait-cto think of it, why am |
running away? | should ask him why he's messing with me. Tum the car around"
Bella was the one tugging on Lia's arm now. She was somewhat aware of Leonard's feelings. Even though he
denied having any romantic interest in Lia, he acting quite suspiciously.
"Forget it," said Bella. "fost continue talking to him like you don't know anything and see what he does. Let's go
grab dinner."

Lia wasn't in the mood for food. "I'm not eating! 1 teel terrible. | can't possibly have dinner now. How am |
supposed to talk to him like usual when | know he's actually Leonard? | should block him and pretend like nothing
ever happened in the first place!" Before Bella could say anything, Lia blocked the account Leonard used to talk
to her. It seemed as though doing so gave her a peace of mind.
"Whatever makes you happy. If you don't want to dine outside, we'll just order in from your place. It's freezing
out here. | can't bring myself to go anywhere else either." Bella sighed in resignation.
Bella slept over at Lia's apartment that night. Lia was miserable the entire night and couldn't sleep. Every now
and then, she would start walling as if she had just gone through a breakaip. As a result of this, D
Bella couldn't sleep either. She felt extremely frustrated.
At 2:00 am, she asked with a sleep-deprived expression, "What on earth is going on with you? Do you like him?"
Lia froze.

*like the funny and sophisticated man | was talking to-not Leonard. He practically shattered my entire perception
of love. | didn't think he would mess things up foragain, but | guess old habits die hard. After driving away
two of my boyfriends, he decided to pull something like this!" "What if Leonard has feelings for you?" Bella asked
again.
Lia shot her down without hesitation. "That's impossible. Our situation is similar to that of yours and Dominic's.
We both got off on the wrong foot. But in our case, neither of us has ever had a secret crush on the other person
for years, I'd like nothing more than to pull his head off tight now!"
Knowing Lia, there was no way bella could convince her otherwise. She had no energy to deal with this matter
any further. Later into the night, she finally managed to get a few hours of sleep.
The next day, she got to the hospital while feeling extremely sleep-deprived. She felt slightly dazed as well.
When she passed by the ER, she decided to pay Felixa visit but couldn't find him anywhere. When she asked
around, she found out that he had taken a two-day sick leave. It was suspicious for a doctor to call in sick She
called hum, but he didn't pick up. For sreason, she had a bad feeling about this Charter 29 Discarded Roses
