I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 605

Rachel stared at Verna’s innocent, beautiful face as huge tears began to stream down her own. She ripped her arm from Verna’s grasp, her expression a mask of regret and terror.

“Yes, I want to be with Horace, but I never wanted Zephyra to die! She’s my friend!”

“You keep saying you know the future, that you're the heroine who can change things, but from where I'm standing, you look more like the villainess!”

Verna’s face stiffened. “You—don’t be ungrateful!”

“If you truly considered Zephyra a friend, you never would have worked with me. If you hadn't shared her location with me, how would I have been able to intercept her here?!”

“Such a hypocrite! Fine, if you want to die, I won’t stop you. But you listen to me: no matter who asks, you are not to mention that I came looking for Zephyra. You take this secret to your grave!”

“Otherwise, not only will I not help you save Horace, but I will destroy you and your father! Besides, if you rat me out, you’ll drag yourself down with me.”

“Think about it, Rachel. If your name is connected to Zephyra's death, I imagine not only Mr. Lancaster, but Horace probably wouldn't forgive you either, would he? You’d better weigh your options carefully!”

After her tirade, Verna immediately put on her mask and left, practically beaming with excitement.

Rachel’s face grew even paler, almost translucent. She stumbled toward the broken edge of the bridge. The deep water below was stained with blood, a horrifying sight.

Panic seized her completely. She collapsed to her knees, sobbing, as several bystanders rushed to hold her back, afraid she might jump.

“Zephyra…” Rachel wailed hysterically, her eyes filled with agony. “How can I save you, Zephyra? I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…”

At the hospital.

Steven rushed in just as Mr. Lancaster Sr. was being settled into a hospital room.
