Chapter 428 Hurt

• He wanted the cab to stop. He didn’t want her to leave. He had so much to tell her—that he had never cast her aside, that nothing had happened between him and Calla Sullivan back at Sullivan Manor...
• He didn’t know when it started, but she had already sunk into his bones and blood. He’d thought he could bear her leaving. He’d lived with pain for years, got used to it. Darkness and loneliness clung to him like a second skin.
• But she was the accident life threw at him. The warmth, the sweetness, the care, the quiet watchfulness she gave him… it was like a sunbeam breaking over his head out of nowhere. For a while, he really believed he hadn’t been abandoned by God, that he could still have joy and happiness.
