Chapter 1759
“Johnny!” Taya pounded the glass door with all her might, her fists hitting the wall as the door retracted.
Her fists kept coming, despite the pain and blood, but the wall remained unyielding. Exhausted, she slid down the glass, feeling hopeless and defeated.

She longed to know the question Johnny wanted to ask and the final message he wanted to convey.
But it was impossible now. Johnny had taken all the answers with him, leaving her with an overwhelming sense of guilt and confusion.
Taya sat on Johnny’s bed all night holding her doubts, carrying her guilt, and holding the last of her apples ……
