553 A Proper Meeting (III/III)

"I became free of my wish to meet you!"

Zed stopped and looked at her with the same indifference she first saw in his eyes.

Perhaps what he did now was venting, emptying the emotions he had built up for over two decades.

Or maybe, he had really moved on, and what he shared now was his perspective of meeting with her... now that she came to meet him after so many years.

Regardless of his reasons, Rebecca could see that he was honest when he said he no longer hated or resented her.

As for love and longing... perhaps they died long ago.

A droplet of tear slipped out of her eye. 

He thought she had lavish feasts while he struggled for food. 

How can she tell him... she never felt any taste for she always  wondered if he had food or not.

How can she tell him... having royal roofing over her head didn't stop her from shivering from loneliness.
