Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 516

It must have been the relaxed atmosphere after a few glasses of wine that evening, but by the time I

had Camilla and Fidelia settled into their rooms, I was exhausted. I barely touched the pillow before I

was out like a light.

But then, in the dead of night, a frantic knocking at my door nearly gave me a heart attack. My heart

was racing as I stumbled out of bed to see what was the matter.

I swung the door open to find Camilla, pale and panicked, standing before me.

"Aaliyah, I'm so sorry to wake you, but I can't find Fidelia anywhere." she stammered, her voice

quivering, tears brimming in her eyes.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused, "Fidelia's not in her room?"

She shook her head miserably, wiping her cheeks. "No, she went out and hasn't come back."

I was completely baffled, "Went out? At this hour?"

"Where did she go?" I pressed.

Glancing at Carl, who was still blissfully asleep in my bed, I quickly stepped out, guiding Camilla to the

sitting area in the hallway, "Let's sit down. Take your time and tell me exactly what happened," I said

softly.

Clutching the corner of her nightgown, she said, "We. were just lying in bed chatting, and she told me

she wanted to stay here, to go to school." Her voice grew fainter as she spoke, revealing her

vulnerability.

"And then?" I urged her to continue.

"I told her no, that it just wasn't possible," Camilla said, glancing up at me. I understood her implication.

"Then she got angry, argued that this place felt more like home, that she could actually focus on her

studies here. She said she had friends here, unlike back home," Camilla’s tears fell freely now.

"She's not wrong. She mentioned the same thing to me earlier today when we were waiting for you to

get out of the car. She said she didn't want to leave, that she wanted to stay. But I didn't want to make

that call for you. Staying here to study is perfectly fine, but I was worried about you, especially

considering your relationship with Jerome..." I hesitated, not finishing the thought, but knowing Camilla

would get the gist.

I continued, "She's your world, and I couldn't just leave her here while you're all alone in Goldenvale

Town. I wanted to make sure you were okay with it."

"She ran off because of this. I tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen. She just stormed out,

asking why she couldn't make her own decision for once. I said no, and she ran off." Camilla was

getting agitated.

She grabbed my hand, "I checked Monique's room, but she wasn't there. I don't know this place well. I

went downstairs but couldn't find her."

Just then, Hannah appeared, rubbing her eyes, "What's going on?"

"Fidelia might have run off," I informed her.

Hannah's eyes widened in shock, "Run off? When?"

"Don't ask questions now, let's just find her. She shouldn't have gone far, probably still in the yard

somewhere. You go left, I'll go right,” I instructed.

"Okay," Hannah quickly set off in one direction. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm so sorry for the trouble." Camilla apologized profusely, "She's so stubborn, quiet but determined.

Sometimes I just don't know what to do with her." Coոtent of Drаmаոovels.cоm

It was late, and if she wasn't in the yard, where could she be? I hadn't expected her to be so

headstrong.
