Chereads / Girl from the room of illusion / Chapter 22 - Epilogue

Chapter 22 - Epilogue

New York, January 2021.

Danielle opens her eyes, feeling that everything hurts. With semi-conscious eyes, she looks around her, and her attention is caught by Jin, who is sleeping by her bed. She lifts her hand and touches his head, being happy that he is next to her.

— Do you realize that you have once again cheated destiny? You should have died that day. — He shifts his gaze to the phantom that moves toward her. — I protected you again.

The ghost, who has the face of her biological mother, stops in front of the bed.

— Despite the years, you keep your promise — Danielle says in a hoarse voice.

— I keep my promises. I will protect you for the rest of your life, favorite.

Jin begins to wake up. He looks at the girl, and his eyes open wider when he notices that she is conscious.

— Danielle. — He leans over her, his hands touching her face. — How are you feeling? Should I call the doctor?

— I'm fine. You don't need to panic.

The boy breathes a sigh of relief and squats down in the chair again.

— I was so afraid that I would lose you this time. I'm glad you came back to me.

— It was the power of love that prevented me from dying — she replies, squeezing his hand. Out of the corner of her eye, she glances at the apparition, who pretends to vomit through their confessions.

— As soon as you come to your senses, let's go far away from here. Let's start all over again: in another, better place.

— Yes, let's go far away from here and leave all the pasts behind.... Let's start all over again, Jin.
