She had thought it was out of respect for her, but now she realized that his uncontrollable feelings were only for the one he truly loved. And she was not worthy.
Juno and Quinn had already walked far away. But those little red marks seemed like a beast with a gaping bloody mouth, biting Sasha's heart into a bloody mess.
When she arrived at the factory's medical room, the doctor was shocked. "The wound just started to scab, how did it get worse again? Do you still want to celebrate the New Year?"
New Year?
Sasha's heart stung with sadness.
For Juno, she hadn't returned home for three years. She missed home. She desperately wanted to go home for the New Year.
The factory was decorated with lamps and festivity, making it a joyful scene. Yet Sasha, covered in scars, went to the workshop supervisor to apply for resignation and request a referral letter.
Nowadays, individuals without identification documents needed a referral letter to leave the province.
The workshop supervisor, who had witnessed her relationship with Juno from the beginning, agreed with regret.
"It's close to the New Year now, even with a referral letter, the earliest you can leave is the tenth day of the new year."
