Chapter 1703
Chapter 1703:
Ahead, Tracy's pace quickened as she heard Elyse's calls. Each shout of her name tightened her chest with growing distress.
Tracy's heart pounded violently in her chest, each beat a thunderous roar in her
ears.
Guilt gnawed at her insides, a constant, relentless ache that twisted in her gut. The thought of facing Elyse made a wave of dread crash over her.
Her friend couldn't know what she'd done.
But there was no turning back now. She had to see her revenge through, or the searing anger and pain would consume her whole.
Therefore, she couldn't let Elyse stop her.
As she glanced back, she saw Elyse's tear-streaked face, and a pang of remorse twisted deep inside her. For a brief, fleeting moment, she longed to reach out, to wipe away those tears. But she couldn't. She had to keep running, or everything she'd fought for would slip through her fingers like sand.
Tracy weaved through the crowded mall, her steps quick and frantic. Elyse struggled to keep up, dodging between shoppers, but within moments, Tracy mingled into the sea of people.
Her chest tightened. Tears blurred her vision, and in her desperation, she stumbled-crashing into someone. A sharp gasp escaped her lips as she hit the
floor.
By the time she looked up, Tracy was gone.
Defeat settled over her like a heavy weight. There was no point in chasing anymore. Blinking back tears, she pushed herself up, murmuring an apology to the stranger she had collided with.
"Elyse?" A familiar voice, laced with concern, cut through the haze of emotion. "What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?" The moment Victor saw her tear- streaked face, something fluttered in his chest-something he quickly forced down.

Startled by the familiar face cutting through her blur of tears, Elyse wiped her eyes and mumbled, "I'm so sorry, Victor. That was my fault. Are you okay?"
Victor's gaze landed on her scraped knee. "I'm fine. You, on the other hand, just hit the floor pretty hard."
She shook her head, brushing off his concern. Exhaustion and something heavier something raw-shadowed her face. "It's nothing. Doesn't even hurt."
But it was obvious. The sting of the fall wasn't the only thing weighing her down. Victor exchanged a quick look with his friend, both of them silently asking the same question.

Elyse lifted her gaze, her expression flat. "No, it's something else." The flicker of hope in Victor's eyes m dimmed but he quickly masked it. "At least let's clean that scrape," he said. "You should get it checked at the hospital." The content is on

She glanced down at her knee, barely interested. "It's fine. I'll call my assistant.
She can take me."
