Chapter 632: Take Away The Person She Cares About

Helen’s POV

When I reached home, I was surprised to see Cece standing at the front door of my apartment building
and waving excitedly.

"Helen…" I thought my eyes were deceiving me.I had to blink several times to make sure it was not an
illusion.

"What? Don’t you recognize me?"

Cece flung her arms open, waiting for me to rush to her and receive her warm embrace.I couldn’t
believe my eyes.

Still, I dashed towards her and gave her a giant hug.

No wonder she was one of my best friends.

There seemed to be a tangible connection between us.I was just thinking about her on the subway
minutes ago, and here she was, in the flesh, right in front of me! Talk about the powers of
manifestation! The universe did have a superior intelligence! "Cece, what brings you here?"

"I’m here to see who is bullying you so I can put a stop to it!"

When I heard her words, the raw wounds of the last few days opened up again.

The grief and sadness that I had suppressed, resurfaced and I broke into a food of tears.

Just then a sprightly figure popped out and shouted at the two of us.

"Hey, you two! Come and help me carry these heavy bags.Don’t just stand there and get so
emotional.You can go inside and talk once the hard work is done."



It was Lucy.

Obviously! With bags of food in her arms and a carton of beer on the ground, she shouted at us to help
her.

We could barely see her face as the food parcels were stacked so high.She was struggling to carry
such a heavy load.

"Come on! Help me! Quickly! Before everything falls!""What on earth possessed you to buy so much of
stuff?"

I rushed over and picked up the carton of beer from the ground.

Cece took some of the food parcels from her arms.

Lucy glanced at Cece and said, "It wasn’t a rare occasion for this woman to come to New York.We will
have a girls’ night tonight.Let’s get hammered!"

After entering the elevator, I looked at my two best friends and my heart melted.

It felt like the morning rays of sunshine had arved to melt the ice in my pathway and clear the road
ahead for me How blessed was I to meet such wonderful friends who were more like family than friends
to me? When I saw the two of them waiting for me downstairs, I suddenly had a new take on life.

It was not so bad if you had friends who would keep you company and take care of you.

As long as I had these two precious souls and my dear mother with me.

I would be just fine Once we got inside my apartment and laid out the food, we eagerly started chatting
Cece put her arm around my shoulder, took a sip of beer and sighed, "Our little Helen has finally grown
up.She is no longer the little girl who always cried and ran away when something happened."



"Cece, I’m glad that you could come.I can always be my true self in front of you guys"

I leaned on Cece’s shoulder and clinked my can of beer with her, smiling, I was surrounded by good
food, great friends and excellent beer.

What more could a girl ask for? I was content with my life.

"Yes, you don’t need to grow up.I’m here to protect you!"

Lucy also came over and hugged us.

What a beautiful group hug that was!

"Come on.Jane would definitely have been held accountable for what happened at that time.But you
gave her a good thump and made Helen seem like the troublemaker.Now she even has to apologize to
that bitch.You had good intentions, but your actions have actually created more problems."

Cece had always been more prudent than us.

After carefully analyzing the situation at that time, she blamed Lucy Lucy didn’t think she had done
anything wrong.

"Did you expect me to sit back while Helen got beaten? I had to protect her honor.Sorry! I just have to
do this!"

Lucy and Cece always handled problems in two different ways.

Lucy was straightforward in both words and deeds; However, Cece was more diplomatic I was probably
somewhere in between So there was a reason that the three of us were such good friends.

Cece rolled her eyes at Lucy and said, "Well, both you and Helen did something wrong.



And two wrongs don’t make a right.No matter how upset you were with Jane, you shouldn’t have
slapped her in public.

What’s the way forward? You were caught on the spot and suffered a great loss."

"How else are we supposed to do?"

"Of course we should give her a taste of her own medicine.We have to hit her where it hurts most.What
does she value most in life? Let’s figure out what it is and then deprive her of it! Do you remember how
she stole your father in the past? Now it’s your turn to take away the person she cares most about!"
Cece said cunningly, yet emphatically.

I shook my head.

"No! Forget it.If I do that, how would that make me different from her? I would never stoop that low.It’s
not worth breaking my principles for a bitch like her."

Both Lucy and Cece stared at me.

After a while, Cece asked, "Helen, to be honest, don’t you feel as if you have changed?"

"In what way?" I asked, not being able to put my finger on what they meant "Well, you are able to talk
about Jane calmly.It means that she does not bug you anymore.At least not that much."

After they reminded me, I realized that what they said was true.I didn’t hate Jane as much as I used to.

In the past, the mere mention of Jane’s name would drive me into a wild frenzy.But now I was able to
talk about her calmly.It meant that with time, the trauma that she had caused me was beginning to die
off.



"That’s right.Jane used to be a time bomb in your heart.You were always ready to explode when she
was mentioned.You have become stronger now.Helen, you have your whole life ahead of you.You
shouldn’t allow Jane to ruin it.Is she that important to you? No! The most important thing is to live a
happy, peaceful life," Cece advised patiently.

What she said made sense.

Libby and her daughter had appeared at my father’s funeral all of a sudden and arrogantly declared
Jane as my father’s daughter.

At that time, I felt that my whole world had come crumbling down.

My mother and I seemed to have been blown into the air by a hurricane, floating helplessly without any
destination And now they were back.

Although they still created negative vibes in my life, the wounds in my heart had slowly healed.

The dark psychic impressions that had been suppressed within me had gradually dissolved with time
and I felt better.

Later, the three of us drank so much, we were unable to stand.I for one was as drunk as a skunk.

Then we looked at each other and laughed like hyenas.

Then suddenly Cece started crying sadly.

Lucy and I looked at each other and then at Cece blankly.

I had known Cece for so many years.

This was the first time that I had seen her crying so sadly.



It disturbed me.
