"Why are you so foolish?"
Felicia slowly bent down, squatting on the floor with her hands covering her face.
The coldness slipping through her fingers hit the floor, and a strong feeling of helplessness surged within her.
Roberta's fate was like this, and so was Carmen's.
Felicia once believed that by rescuing Roberta, who had been taken to a mountain village, she had saved her from the tragic fate of being passed around and ultimately dying in some obscure corner.
She also believed that by saving Carmen, who had been isolated and bullied due to rumors, she had changed her fate of jumping off the school rooftop.
But in the end, despite all her efforts, both of them had died because of her.
It felt as if this was all part of some preordained fate. No matter what twists and turns happened along the way, their endings couldn't be changed, including her own.
Felicia felt someone tap her shoulder. Looking up, she saw the young real estate agent in front of her, handing her a piece of paper.
She raised her head and noticed that the only person left in the house was the agent. She took the paper and asked, "Where's the client you showed the house to?"
"They ran off..."
The agent looked helpless. Just now, he had been showing the house to a client who seemed interested, especially since the house was priced lower than the market rate.
But when the client turned around and saw someone crying in the room, they got scared and immediately left.
Felicia was stunned for a moment before standing up from the floor. "So, I'm that scary, huh? Fine, I'll buy the house. You don't need to show it to anyone else anymore."
"Okay!"
The agent, clearly excited, immediately nodded in agreement.
