Chapter 32 The Happiest Day

• RAYNE
• Wiping my tears, Oleander cupped my face before kissing my forehead. “Yes, Rayne, he's alive. You saved his life,” he said, engulfing me in another hug and thanking me, but he shouldn’t. I still let his family die. We pulled back from the hug, and I told him how I tried to save Star as well. However, it was too late. Tears began to fall from my eyes as I did so, images of her being dragged outside naked flashing before my eyes, and he held me again.
• There was a knock on the door, so we had to break the hug, and he invited his mother inside. She entered with some clothes, telling me she had brought a few for me to choose from. She also asked how I was doing, and I told her I was feeling better now. I was coughing profusely when we arrived. Oleander asked her to take the tray, and she did before leaving.
