Chapter 1336 Letting Go (IX)

• Samantha Wembley was caught off guard too. Each new piece of news hit harder than the last. She knew for sure now that Chadwick Fullner was the key to healing Finn—this had been proven. But the thought of sacrificing Chadwick’s happiness for it? She couldn’t bring herself to do that.
• She knew Chadwick’s happiness belonged to Madison Sawyer now, not her. That hurt like hell. Still, Samantha forced herself to calm down and think through a plan for Chadwick. After all, she had started this mess. She couldn’t be that cruel and just walk away.
• “No, she won’t. Sawyer loves you too much to give up that easy. I get girls’ tempers—sometimes when we’re wronged, we just want to be alone and cool down. But the more we need space, the more it means we still care, still can’t let go. Chad, go find her. Now. While you can still fix it… don’t wait till her heart goes cold.” Samantha spoke from a hurt that ran deep. There were countless days back in Europe when she’d imagined turning back time, the two of them starting over. If she could, she’d have torn through every wall to stand with Chad and face everything together. But that chance never came. As time wore on, the fire burned out. She accepted reality piece by piece: once two people split, clinging to fantasies only twists the knife. Later, when she learned Chad had chosen to be with Madison, she cried in the dark, then forced herself to swallow the truth.
