Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 599

When she burned her hand at lunch, West had held her wrist the entire time.

As he'd wrapped his arm around her, she had clearly seen his ears turn red.

At the time, her hand hurt too much to think about it.

But now, looking back on all the little moments with West over the past six months—from being strangers to becoming friends, to sharing easy conversations, and finally... to this.

Did he really feel that way?

Wendy wasn't sure, and she didn't dare to hope.

The Holt family's atmosphere was incredibly warm, and with them, she had experienced the kind of family affection she'd never known growing up.

Now, with no home or family of her own, her three best friends were all she had left.

Wendy had always considered love a luxury, something impossible for her.

With her troubled family and life, she didn't deserve love. That's why she had fallen so quickly for Finch's sweet talk.

Then, her family was destroyed.

Since then, the word "love" had become taboo for her. She didn't deserve it, and she didn't dare to seek it.

Once bitten, twice shy.

But if the person in question was West... for some reason, all her worries, fears, and insecurities seemed to melt away.

Because it was West.

The man who would rather endure the effects of a powerful drug than touch her.

The man who would injure himself to stay lucid rather than use her as an antidote.

A sweet feeling bloomed in Wendy's heart as she walked with Janina, quietly listening to her friends' chatter.

But what did West think?

He was so outstanding, so successful. Why would he be interested in someone as ordinary and with a background as troubled as hers?

The tiny spark of love that had just ignited in Wendy's heart was instantly extinguished.
