Chapter 208: Gone
“Jamie…”
Not knowing how much time has passed, I gradually woke up when I heard myself mumbling.
I first feel my senses are unblocked, just like when one who sinks in the ocean for a long time gets back up from the water.
The next thing I feel... is my body covered in pain, especially my head.
“Umm…”
Holding the pain back, slowly, I try to open my eyes.
It is the moment when I open my eyes again, bright light seeps into my eyes. I squint into the light, my eyes take quite a while to adapt to the light.

No matter how many times I wipe them off, no matter how hard I try to stop myself from crying, my tears just won’t stop. I cover my face with my palms to cover my sound, I sob as quietly as I can, not hoping to wake Jamie up.
