You Hit My Heart novel Chapter 194

In a temporary dentention cell in Detention Center.

Joyce never thought that she would come to such a place in her life.

As it was late last night when she was brought to the detention center. She was held in a temporary holding cell with cold stainless steel bars, walls painted with gray latex paint, a simple narrow folding bed, a gray quilt, and a simple bathroom.

Joyce lays down on the bed and looked up at the humble ceiling, with only a faint glow from a CFL lamp.

Locked in here without a way to make contact with the outside world, she felt isolated from the world.

Today's series of encounters caught her off guard, but the most heartbreaking thing of all was that Stephanie had left her forever. She felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. From now on, there was no one to talk to her kindly and care for her genuinely.

She was thrown back to the old days of loneliness and isolation, afraid to trust others, unable to find someone to rely on, and unwilling to let others into her heart. Why didn't she need concern and warmth? Thinking back to the brief moments she had spent with Stephanie, she could not help but replay them in her mind, and tears slipped down her cheeks again.

Only she knew best in her heart that Stephanie died for no reason.

Why did Stephanie leave all of Jacqueline and Shelly's shares to her, an outsider, before she died? She was puzzled.

She slowly closed her eyes.

She had been exhausted today, and she needed to rest. Tomorrow there were still mroe unknown trials and tribulations waiting for her, she needed enough energy to cope.
