Chapter 98 Don't Touch Me

• That morning, the sky was overcast, as if mirroring Nessa's mood. She had just left Evelyn's house after a restless night's sleep. Despite Evelyn's efforts to calm her down, the uneasiness still lingered in her chest. Her face showed no sign of happiness. Her eyes were tired, her steps sluggish.
• Instead of going straight home, Nessa chose to walk along the sidewalk, letting the cold morning breeze sweep across her face. She didn't want to return home too quickly. It felt stuffy. There were too many thoughts swirling in her mind.
• At the roadside, the traffic light had changed. Nessa crossed the street so slowly. However, her mind was too preoccupied to notice her surroundings. She didn't realize that a car was speeding toward her from the right, about to cut across the road. The car tried to stop, but it was too late.
