299 BLAME ME

"What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Arthur observed her expression. He couldn't help but worry.

Veronica slightly shook her head. "Nothing. It's just… human emotions are too complicated."

'Where did that thought come from?' Arthur wondered confusedly. "Is there something that's bothering you?"

Veronica paused before sharing some parts of her thought, "Everything. Whatever I see or feel, they all bother me. I'm not even sure why I'm feeling or thinking like this. Maybe I have too much free time. I hardly thought of anything when I was out there, trying to survive."

Arthur paid attention to her words. "Are you thinking about our relationship?"

"Among other things, yes." Veronica didn't want to lie about it. She felt that the more she hid from him, the further they parted from each other.
