Emira turned back and sat against the wall, her shoulders resting against the cold stone as she watched Shiqi walk out of the place without looking back even once.
The sound of her footsteps faded slowly, until there was nothing left but silence. Emira did not call after her or try to talk her into letting her out. There was no point in wasting her breath...
Her eyes glittered as she watched her go away. She would have forgiven Shiqi, for everything she did to her. But she would never forgive her for what she did to her mother.
As for whether Shiqi believed the truth about the Aron loving her, it was upto her...Shiqi might be able to fool anyone else with her laughter and denial, but she would never be able to fool herself.
Emira knew it. And deep down, so did Shiqi. To Shiqi, all that mattered was Aron's love.
