Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2486 Sheena could not help laughing. "Why not? If that brat's lucky enough to have you like him, that's a blessing for him. Why not just tell him?" Luna's eyes dimmed as she shook her head. "Because it's one- sided. | like him, but that doesn't mean he has feelings for me. I've tried to find out, again and again, but lately, I've just felt... tired. | realized that | never really understood Andrew. Slowly, | stopped being able to read him at all. "It feels like he's become a familiar stranger.

| still care for him, but he's becoming increasingly hard to understand, and that scares me. I'm afraid of losing him, afraid of being rejected, afraid of getting hurt. So please, don't tell him anything." Sheena nodded, agreeing for now. Then, she asked, "If you're so afraid of losing and getting hurt, then why tell me?" Luna exhaled, a self-mocking smile tugging at her lips. "Because I've been holding it in for so long. | never had the courage to say it out loud. But now, if Mr. Murphy Senior kills him, I'll never feel his warmth again. So | got scared...

| just wanted to say it while he's still here, while | still can." Sheena frowned. "Then you might as well just tell him directly instead of hiding it all the time." ---- Luna shook her head again. "I don't want to. It's strange... the world outside feels like it's collapsing, yet the secret in my heart is something | still can't bring myself to say. I'd rather guard that feeling quietly on my own. Years ago, he actually helped me once. It was such a fleeting moment, but it stuck with me.

I've kept it in my heart ever since, never telling anyone, not even him." Sheena shook her head, looking baffled. "I'll never understand you people. But | can tell your feelings for Andrew aren't ordinary. You've got good taste, really good taste. That brat's one of a kind, a genuinely good man through and through. But if you never tell him, you'll never have an ending." Luna gave a bitter smile. "At least for now, | won't say anything. | don't want to burden him, and | don't want to look worthless in front of him.

The only thing | want is for him to stay safe and achieve his dreams." Sheena stared at her for a long moment, then said seriously, " General Phelan, you're the first person from the military who actually impressed me. Honestly, | never even liked that old bastard, General Turman. But you're different. You have earned my respect." Luna gave a weary smile. "Thank you. Under any other circumstance, I'd be honored to hear that. You're someone we all look up to. But right now, the only thing | care about is whether Andrew's okay in there." ---- Sheena nodded firmly.

"As long as I'm here, he won't be harmed You love him, and | owe him. Just like you, | won't let anything happen to Andrew. If Wilder dares to touch him, I'll raze the entire Murphy family to the ground." What no one knew was that someone else was also restless at that moment: Valerie. Elaine said coldly, "The fight has already started in the Martial Tower. Weren't you the one always shouting about wanting the family to deal with Andrew? Well, now you don't have to. Someone else already made the move. The head of the Murphy family, Wilder, is fighting him to the death.

His chances of surviving are slim... or rather, zero."
