A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 261

Fall came quietly. Feena walked along a path covered in yellow leaves as the sun shone in her face. She headed to class, feeling happy and light-hearted. Her eyes glimmered brightly, and she felt particularly serene after seemingly making an important decision.

The bells chimed, signaling the end of classes. She returned to her dormitory and swiftly called Jack. She asked, "Has the public security office sought you out recently, Jack?"

He said cheerily, "Nope. The university has already dealt with it, so don't worry."

The conflict yesterday had been intense, but the students had only done it out of self-defense. Most of the people present had witnessed and verified it. Moreover, they had videos to prove that the thugs had come brandishing their weapons, wanting to attack the students. The students had been forced to retaliate.

The university administration had also discovered that the thugs were hardened criminals. Not only had they not punished the students, but they'd also used their connections to have the thugs thrown behind bars.

There was one thing the students weren't happy about, though—Hector and Leslie were the instigators of the matter, yet they'd gotten away scot-free. Still, the outcome was expected due to their family backgrounds. The students had no choice but to accept it.

Feena was relieved to learn Jack was okay. She smiled and asked, "Are you free this afternoon? I wanted to ask you to help take a look at a song I've composed."

"Yeah, I am. Just call me when you get here," he said easily.

Her heart raced after hanging up, and she repeatedly asked herself whether she'd made the right decision. Did she want to tell Jack about her feelings for him?

This was a profound decision for her—she'd once rejected him by the riverside with everyone watching, after all. Now, she wanted to change her mind and correct the mistake she'd made.

She'd always been proud but now felt somewhat insecure. She was afraid her confession would ruin Jack's image of her being elegant and graceful, and she also worried she would regret this.

She listened attentively to his suggestions and feedback. It struck her that he was truly talented when it came to composing songs. A few simple suggestions and amendments made her song come to life—it had potential to become the hit song of the year.

Her admiration for him grew. In the past, she'd only felt that his title as a musical genius was just that. Now that she was receiving his guidance in person, she realized what a literal genius he was.

The sunlight shone down on him, making his side profile seem gentle yet resolute. Her feelings burst forth as she watched him. Suddenly, she realized she was no longer the high and mighty goddess everyone thought she was when she was with him. She was just a regular woman attracted by his talent and charm.

In fact, when she wasn't occupied with anything, the moments she'd spent with him would play in her mind like a movie. Then, she would think about the things Jack liked and disliked.

There was only one problem—Feena's heart always felt empty whenever she finished thinking about him. Her thoughts of him didn't form because she was lonely. No, she was lonely because she thought of him.
