His harsh words had wounded her deeply, and she couldn't shake off the hurt that gnawed at her heart.
It seemed as though he was intentionally being cruel, shutting her out when she needed him the most.Pissed and hurt, she found herself at a loss for words.
It was as if his rejection had created an insurmountable barrier between them, leaving her feeling isolated and abandoned.
In the silence that followed, Eva's mind was a tumultuous sea of conflicting thoughts.
Part of her wanted to lash out at him, to demand an explanation for his coldness all these past years and refusal to accept her as a part of his family .
But another part of her yearned for his acceptance, for him to embrace her as his sister, flaws and all.
He kept looking at her as if he was trying to push her towards the edge .
