Chapter 1071

Lina's thoughts turned to her lost friendship with Gia, and a sense of sadness washed over her. Keira noticed that something was amiss. "What's wrong? Don't you like this?" she asked. Lina shook her head and forced a smile. "It's not that... It's delicious, thanks, Keira. I'm lucky to have you around when I'm feeling down." "Hehe, don't say that!" Keira scratched her head. "Lina, I've always wanted to be your friend. I'm so happy to have the chance to get closer to you today!" "Weren't we always friends?" Lina asked. "No..." Keira's voice softened. "I mean friends like Gia and you." Lina's eyes darkened at the mention of Gia. "Lina, I used to think you were extraordinary. An exceptional girl like you should have exceptional friends. I'm just... ordinary and average. I don't match up to you at all," Keira confessed. Lina smiled humbly. Her smile was pure and innocent, radiating a gentle star-like glow. But in Keira's eyes, Lina was a star beyond reach. Lina held Keira's hands.
