When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Whispers in the Dark

Her body reacted faster than her mind, and Sierra had already hidden a steel needle at her fingertips, ready to strike, when the man’s aura suddenly changed. Then, a familiar voice rang out.

“Why are you here“”

It was Jonathan’s voice!

Sierra’s tense demeanor relaxed abruptly, and with a mix of laughter and tears, she said, “I was about to ask you the same

thing”

“I heard some noises.”

Jonathan didn’t mention that he hadn’t actually heard anything; it was just his sixth sense alerting him to someone’s presence, making him think someone had come looking.

Without giving it much thought, Sierra responded, “I’m just sitting here for a bit.”

Jonathan entered upon hearing this and casually closed the door behind him. The emergency exit was dimly lit, making it

hard to see their faces clearly.

“Want to talk about it?”

Jonathan was always so understanding and composed. Sierra’s anxious heart began to calm down because of his words.

She had been sitting there for a while now, unable to settle down, fearing her return might disturb Dickson, so she thought about waiting until she felt better before going back.

After a moment, she began, I ran into the guy who’s been bullying Dickson today!”

Jonathan frowned slightly, a gesture lost on Sierra due to the dim light. She continued, “That man was openly criticizing Dickson in front of me, and I couldn’t hold back; I confronted him.”

Jonathan’s voice grew colder, “Did you get hurt?”

Sierra was too focused on Dickson, and Jonathan, feeling possessive, naturally wouldn’t allow her to care so much about another person. However, he couldn’t show this.

Sierra shook her head, “I’m fine, just feeling a bit upset.

These people didn’t treat them like humans, whether it was Brendan, Kason, or Shane, they were all the same.

Just as Brendan had said, in their eyes, Sierra, Dickson, Daphne, and others like them were mere toys, like puppies to be played with. When pleased, they would throw you a couple of bones; when displeased, they would torment you in various

ways.

What fault did we have?

“They hadn’t wronged anyone, hadn’t done anything wrong, but simply because of their looks, their family background, or various other reasons, they were denied even basic respect. It was truly ridiculous.

Feeling the sorrowful anger emanating from Sierra, Jonathan was about to speak when he heard her say, “Mr. Yeager, I will succeed.”

If her goal before was just for Lily’s sake, now she had a new purpose. She wanted to succeed, to become someone respected try all, to stop more injustices, to expose these wrongdoings, and to let more people know about them.

Despite the darkness in the hallway, at that moment, Jonathan felt as if Sierra was radiating light, her determination and vincerity compelling him to believe in her, even affecting him.

10:54 AM

Jonathan might not realize how important his words were to her.

The previous oppression instantly vanished, and Sierra relaxed a bit, patting her pants as she said,

“I don’t know!”
