Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2819 Andrew stood there in a daze, feeling like everything before him was collapsing. "Valerie!" He roared out her name, his heart filled with unbearable pain. He rushed over and held Valerie's lifeless body, shouting, "I love you, Valerie! Believe me, | really love you!" His voice cracked with desperation. "I feel the same way about you as | do about Luna!" Valerie lifted her hand, trying to touch Andrew's face. But ultimately, it fell weakly, leaving only a trace of blood on Andrew's cheek. She mumbled, "Andrew, | hate you." With those words, she died.

Those words pierced Andrew's heart completely. He felt like his entire being, even his soul, had shattered into pieces. For the first time in a long time, Andrew cried, and the tears rolled freely down his face. "Silly girl, | love you. | never lied to you." Suddenly, the illusion shattered before him, and he came back to his senses. He realized he was kneeling on the ground with cold tears covering his face. Instinctively, he tried to hold Valerie ---- tighter, only to find his arms completely empty. Andrew froze, then slowly understood that all of it had been an illusion.

However, the pain in his heart made it difficult to breathe. After taking a long time to compose himself, he continued moving forward. Yet outside Harmony Cavern, Valerie already had red, tear- swollen eyes as she covered her mouth with both hands. Tears streamed uncontrollably as she listened to every cry, every agonized shout, and every desperate confession Andrew made inside. She had no doubt now that she had a place in his heart.

Her voice trembled as she whispered, "I love you too, you fool..." From her vantage point, she could clearly see everything happening to Andrew inside the cavern, while he saw nothing of the outside world. This was the miraculous nature of Harmony Cavern. Harlan and Noel stood guard nearby. "Harlan, why is Ms. Reyes crying?" "Shut up, it's none of your business!" Noel continued despite the rebuke, "Uh... Harlan, | was just asking casually. Why are you yelling at me? Look, Ms. Reyes suddenly cried, and the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince is acting ---- weird inside Harmony Cavern.

It looks like two women like him at the same time, but he can't pick, right? If it were me, I'd pick Ms. Reyes. She's gorgeous." "| told you to shut up, did you hear me? Noel, you're supposed to be a martial artist. Why do you care about this stuff?" Harlan scolded him. Noel replied, "Alright... | get it. But with a stunning beauty like Ms. Reyes, it's impossible not to notice. The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince is really something... The women who like him are all stunning. Speaking of which, if it were you, who would you choose? Ms. Phelan or Ms.

Reyes?" "Noel, I'm telling you to shut up and stop talking, okay? You blockhead, what makes you think you can compare yourself to the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince?" Harlan retorted. "Harlan, stop acting all proper and just tell me: Ms. Phelan or Ms. Reyes, who would you pick? I'm definitely choosing Ms. Reyes. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen at Mount Lourneau!" "Fine, fine! Since you're choosing Ms. Reyes, I'll take Ms. Phelan then. That woman is famously gorgeous across all of Holtrien's military. Honestly? | want both!" "Gross! You want both?

You've got no shame!" Noel scoffed. ---- They had also witnessed everything Andrew was going through inside Harmony Cavern. They immediately huddled aside, whispering secretively to each other. These were supposed to be two clean-cut, respectable apprentices of the martial arts academy. Yet, at this moment, their faces were plastered with goofy, shameless grins instead of their usual calm expressions.
