“Are you sure you’re alright? You don’t look well.”
“I’m fine, Miss Lia.”
“Eileen, you can tell me anything. Whatever it is.”
“Really, it’s nothing.”
Eileen shook her head, unwilling to voice the matter weighing on her heart.
She feared Amelia would choose to help her seek revenge. From what she had come to know of Amelia over these past days, Amelia would almost certainly do just that. But they were in the midst of their escape right now; it wasn’t a convenient time to do such a thing.
Seeing Eileen refuse to say anything, Amelia couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
[Come on, Eileen, just say it. Why won’t she speak up?]
[Sigh, it’s precisely because she won’t speak that she’s the Eileen we know. How could she let her own problems affect Amelia’s safety?]
[Exactly, that’s just how Eileen is.]
[Having seen the original plot, I have to say this is going to depress me all over again. In the original story, Eileen never got her revenge.]
[Yeah, she found Lester and had the power to take revenge, but she ultimately made another choice.]
[Another missed chance…]
[Who knows if she’ll ever run into Lester again after this miss? The plot’s already diverging from the original now. Who knows what the butterfly effect will change?]
The bullet comments were filled with viewers sighing and lamenting, their emotions complicated.
Amelia watched the information scrolling through the comments, and her own expression couldn’t help but change.
From the information in the bullet comments, in the future, Eileen would investigate a sinister organization called Iris and come to Rhine City, where she would encounter Lester, who had opened a tavern there, and attempt to take her revenge.
Eileen would have almost succeeded, but Lester started a massive fire in a residential district and escaped.
In that situation, Eileen had only two choices.
Chase down Lester.
Or save the innocent people.
One choice was a blood feud as deep as the sea, the other was innocent lives. But Eileen didn’t hesitate. She chose to save them.
Even though letting Lester go caused Eileen immense pain, she couldn’t turn a blind eye to those innocent people.
It was a choice she had to make!
After that, Eileen never encountered Lester again. The man who had murdered her parents right before her eyes—she simply could no longer find him.
Eileen’s enemy wasn’t just Lester; it was also the Black Crow Adventure Group. But that adventure party had long since vanished without a trace. Perhaps the only link to them was through Lester.
If she couldn’t find Lester, she could do nothing at all.
For the countless viewers who knew the original plot, this missed chance was a source of profound helplessness, an event that left their hearts heavy with frustration.
To miss it once… was to miss it forever.
And now, was a second chance about to be missed again?
Amelia’s feelings were complex.
Just as a viewer who sent a comment said, the plot had already changed, and the butterfly effect was already in motion. It was hard to say whether Eileen, if she returned to Rhine City in the future, would still be able to see Lester.
If she missed him this time, it might very well be another permanent, eternal miss.
‘Ever since I transmigrated, Eileen has been helping me. She’s helped me so many times. Can’t I help her just this once?’
Amelia made her decision.
But dealing with Lester would require finesse. From the information revealed in the bullet comments, Lester was likely already a Mid-Rank Apostle by now. If a being like that started fighting in the wrong place, it would certainly attract the attention of the Three Kingdoms’ Army.
