Dwight quickly released her wrists and took a couple of steps back, putting some space between them.
Halsey felt a warm sensation in her nose and reached up to touch it. When she looked at her fingers, they were covered in blood.
“Ah! I’m bleeding,” she cried out, panic rising in her voice
Dwight glanced at her and saw the blood. He pulled out two issues and handed them to her. “Tilt your head back. It’ll stop soon.”
Halsey took the tissues and tilted her head, still confused. Why am I bleeding?”
Dwight didn’t answer. He turned and opened the door, stepping out.
The cold wind hit him immediately, freezing his face. It was sharp and biting, but it also helped clear away the soft, sweet scent of the girl he had just left behind.
Just then, Halsey caught up to him, having stopped the bleeding from her nose. “Wait up! Why do you have so many scars?”
Dwight didn’t slow his pace, continuing on with long, determined strides.
But Halsey was relentless, chattering away beside him. “Are these from fighting with people? You shouldn’t fight anymore. Focus on your studies. Getting knowledge is the best way forward.”
Dwight didn’t react, treating her as if she were invisible.
Up ahead, a group of people approached. It was Alina, accompanied by a few other girls.
Alina, her face flushed with anger, called out, “Halsey, stop right there! I’ve got reinforcements. Are you scared now?”
Halsey was surprised Alina had the audacity to come here. She immediately wanted to step forward. “I’m not scared-”
But before she could finish, Dwight stepped in front of her, blocking her path.
His tall, lean body stood in front of Halsey, and he stared coldly at Alina.
Alina hesitated, her anger faltering for a moment. The truth was, she really had feelings for Dwight. She had turned down many rich young men because her heart had been set on him from the start.
“Dwight, I-“she spoke.
Dwight parted his lips slightly, uttering a single, icy word “Leave.”
He told her to leave.
Alina’s face drained of color as disappointment, sadness, and humiliation all hit her at once. Her hands clenched into fists. “Dwight, I’m in love with you! I’ve set aside my pride and dignity, pursuing you for so long. How could you tell me to leave? How could you be so heartless?”
Dwight simply looked at her, his tone indifferent. “I’m not interested in you.”
The public rejection made Alina’s face turn even paler, and her voice cracked. “You’re not? Then who are your interested in? Is it her?” She pointed at Halsey behind him ‘Do you have feelings for Halsey?”
Dwight remained silent.
Chapter 14
But to a woman, silence alivays felt like a confirmation. Alina’s emotions began to ball over.
“Do you really have feelings for her? You’re protecting her you’ve never protected me like this! What does the have that I don’t? Why her?”
Dwight’s patience was gone. “Are you going to leave or not?
Alina was truly hurt now. She let out a bitter laugh.
“Do you really think you’re something special? You’re just drug dealer’s son, burdened by your mom and sister! And what do you do when you’re not in school? Everyone else may not know, but I do. You work on construction sites, taking on multiple jobs. You’re just a broke guy!!
Halsey, her fists clenched, stepped forward. “Alina, why do you like to say nasty things about other people?” Alina scanned Halsey from head to toe before her gaze landed on the crystal hairpin In Halsey’s hair. “Halsey, that little hairpin of yours is Chanel’s new release. It must cost thousands, right?”
