On her way back, Lucy received a call from Evelyn.
"Lucy, are you okay?"
Lucy wanted to say she was fine, but the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved and upset she felt.
She suddenly burst into tears, which left Wyatt next to her utterly stunned. He had no idea how to comfort a crying girl. Especially in moments like this, he felt like a bewildered puppy, unsure where to place his hands.
"Please... please don't cry!"
But his feeble attempts to console her were futile.
On the other end, Evelyn inquired, "Are you at the dormitory? I'll come to see you."
"Mm-hmm," Lucy sobbed, hung up, and continued to walk and cry.
Wyatt, trailing behind, didn't know what to say or do. He didn't even have a tissue with him to offer at a time like this.
As they walked, people around them threw accusing glances at Wyatt, as if blaming him for Lucy's tears. They seemed to assume he must've cheated on her.
