When Petals Meet The Blade (Priscilla and Waldo) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Waldo just felt a headache coming on

He said, “Priscilla, let me take you back to treat your wounds. The events at the hunting ground were pretty much over, and the rest could be bet t Garbuch.

A moment ago, he had indeed briefly believed that Jessica had come for him.

Now, after being mocked by Elsie for being sell absorbed, he felt extremely awkward.

Besides, the blood still seeping from Priscilla’s wounds tugged at his heartstring

But Priscilla wasn’t about to let it go. Seeing how passive Waldo was being, she finally couldn’t hold back her tears, which had been welling up for a while.

She snapped, “This is how you protect me, Waldo? I despise you!”

Waldo’s patience wore thin. “Priscilla

“Flirting first, and then playing the victim.” Jessica looked coldly at Priscilla, “If you don’t have the strength, then don’t go around picking fights. You were the one who struck first. When you couldn’t win, you claimed others bullied you, What makes you any different from the thugs on the streets?”

Priscilla fumed. “Jessica, you…

Jessica interrupted. “You made the first move. No matter how much you try to explain, you’re still in the wrong. Your man spoils you, and now you think the whole world should spoil you too?”

Jessica wasn’t one to enjoy arguing, so even while saying all this, her tone was calm and detached. It was almost like she was commenting on the weather. But every word hit where it hurt.

Jessica continued, “And didn’t you keep saying how much you look down on women who rely on men? So tell me. If you truly want revenge, why don’t you handle it yourself? Why beg Waldo to fight your battles for you?”

Those words instantly shifted everyone’s gaze to Priscilla. Some were amused, some scornful, and some openly disgusted.

Waldo was looking at her too. In fact, this was not quite the Priscilla he thought he knew.

He had always admired her for her pride and unyielding nature, the fierce light in her eyes that had never feared even a prince like him.

Jessica’s words made the light he once saw in Priscilla’s eyes seem dimmer

Priscilla couldn’t stand Waldo looking at her like that.

The pride she carried as the daughter of the Desert Eagle was shattered into pieces.

All the patience, tact, and restraint Yuna had taught her disappeared instantly.

She glared at Waldo, her eyes red–rimmed. “Fine. I have never needed a man’s help. rll settle it myself. I don’t need you!“,

Then she turned to Jessica, gritting her teeth. “One day, I will repay this humiliation. Just wait!”

With that, she turned and left, never once glanging back at Waldo.

But from the look she gave him before walking away, Waldo saw a flash of the stutibor pride that had first drawn him to her.

Memories came flooding back, and in that instant, he softened again..
