He had wished, truly, that his words had been directed at Lissy Lock, as she had called him full of hopes, only for him to turn her down in cold indifference.
Then, he turned around and said to Skye Turner, "He's here."
Skye Turner felt a flutter of joy in her heart, John Fame did not push her away!
It meant that his anger had subsided significantly, her path forward would be much easier.
Skye Turner did not cling to him anymore, she willingly released him, her eyes curved with a smile.
John Fame looked at her, his gaze finally landing on the bouquet in his hand. He extended it towards her, "Congratulations on your discharge."
Skye Turner was delighted to accept the flowers, holding them in her embrace, "John, you're really too good."
He lightly nodded, his hand in his pocket as he turned around, "Let's go."
Skye Turner flashed a smile at Caspian Darcy, then rapidly moved to John's side, walking shoulder to shoulder with him.
John Fame didn't say a word.
