The demon in the woods

Chapter 193

(Unedited)

…

Peace… such a word feel a bit distant and yet near to me. Brittle, like glass, with one tap and it would break into hundreds and thousands of pieces.

Sometimes, I would think that I have lived my life not knowing what the true meaning of such a word is. It has been too long in my mind ever since I experienced one. The time when I was with my family was the most accurate memory I have of peace.

As I look at my life now, it seems that I would be living a life bordering peace and chaos. But deep in my heart I feel relieved as this takes my mind off the pain that still lingers deep within me whenever I recalled my parents.

Lin Qiao… I am curious what the truth about her is. But that is behind me now. Though I still wanted to learn more about what truly happened, I also think that it would be hard for me to accept. Until I found my heart at peace, then that is the time that I could go back and face reality once again.
