The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He (Lily and John) novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 Nothing Left to Say

Taylor continued in his memory.

In fact, even the origami stars she folded for me on a whim, or the little notes she scribbled without thinking- never had the heart to throw them away.

“Stay happy, Taylor!”

That was the message she wrote to me the most.

But I wasn’t happy now.

She didn’t come home, and I wasn’t happy at all. But it didn’t matter anymore. She didn’t care if I was happy. She didn’t even want to acknowledge me as her brother anymore.

“Bodger? Taylor?”

Ever since Lily left the Ginger estate, Mergan had gotten used to stopping by her room almost every night, sometimes standing there silently for over an hour.

He came again out of habit tonight, but didn’t expect to find both Bodger and Taylor already there.

His expression darkened. “What are you two doing in Lily’s room?”

“I nearly strangled Lily tonight…”

Bodger didn’t respond to Mergan’s question. Instead, he shut his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze heavy and dark.

“I misjudged her again. I even wanted to throw her to the rock…

I swore I’d protect her, care for her, trust her forever. But all I’ve done is hurt her, doubt her. I’m not her favorite brother anymore. No wonder she doesn’t want to recognize me as her brother.”

Taylor’s eyes were filled with the same pain and remorse as he listened.

He instinctively tightened his grip on the rosary around his wrist. “I’m not worthy of being her brother either.

I even encouraged Bodger to throw her against the rocks to make Mathilda feel better.

We knew Mathilda had set her up before, but we still blamed Lily without any proof…

She’ll never call me her brother again. She won’t forgive me. And honestly, I’ll never forgive myself either…”

Mergan’s fingers brushed against the Cross Necklace Lily had begged for him, step by painful step. Thinking about how he’d stood by coldly all night, a flicker of regret surfaced in his eyes.

I should’ve given her a little trust. If I had, maybe she would still be holding my arm with a bright smile, calling me “Mergan.”

Chapter 322 Nothing Left to Say

But what I wanted… wasn’t just for her to call my name,

I wanted to be the only one in her eyes and her heart.

“Bodger, Taylor, Mergan…

Just as the three of them were drowning in guilt and heartbreak, the slightly ajar door creaked open, and Mathilda walked in.

All three of their brows furrowed.

Even though Mathilda was the baby sister they adored most, none of them liked seeing someone else step into Lily’s room.

Especially after what happened tonight-Mathilda’s deliberate setup-they didn’t look pleased at all.

“Mathilda, what are you doing here? Get out.”

“Mergan…”

His voice was ice-cold, void of warmth, and just hearing it made Mathilda burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably like a broken string of pearls.

She couldn’t even catch her breath. It took several painful gasps before she could speak, her voice hoarse.

“You all hate me now, don’t you?

You all think I’m disgusting, right?

I didn’t mean to set Lily up. I’m not a bad person…”

The three Ginger brothers said nothing.

Honestly, they thought what she did this time was pretty awful.

But they owed her so much. And with how fragile and pitiful she looked while crying, they couldn’t bring themselves to say she was disgusting.

After a long silence, Bodger finally spoke up.

“Mathilda, don’t cry. We don’t think you’re disgusting, and w

don’t hate you.

But this can’t happen again. Don’t ever try to hurt Lily again.

Lily is our sister too. She’s family. You shouldn’t treat her like an

enemy.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt Lily. I never saw her as an enemy…”

Her tears poured even faster, like they weren’t worth a thing. She sniffled and whimpered for a long while before continuing in a weak voice.
