âNoâ¦â Hua Jin replied.
Did this guy come with the intention of eating him alive?!
âDonât come so close to meâ¦â The actor felt his breathing becoming completely chaotic.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy?â
!!
Silence.
Gong Jie could feel the actorâs heartbeat intensifying⦠The distance between their faces gradually closed. The actorâs heart was about to jump out of his throat!
At this point, the door suddenly burst open and the twins barged in. âHua Jin, bad newsâ¦â
Youyou had just walked in when he saw the scene on the bed. Gong Jie had the actor pinned under him, making him look like a predator eyeing its prey. Hua Jin, on the other hand, looked over in horror. When he saw that the two little lads had found their way into the room, his face turned pale.
The twins were dumbfounded.
What⦠What the hell was going on?!
âUncleâ¦â
âWhy didnât you knock when you came in?â Gong Jie raised an eyebrow in displeasure.
âAh, itâs like thisâ¦â Recalling his original intention, the boy quickly explained, âNatalia⦠sheâ¦â
Upon hearing that it was about Natalia, the two men were alert at once. âWhat about Natalia?â
âShe wonât stop cryingâ¦â
Hua Jin and Gong Jie dashed over to Nataliaâs room and saw that Alice had also arrived. The room was in a mess.
Natalia was huddled in the corner, shivering. As soon as she saw Hua Jin, Natalia cried and threw herself into his arms.
âBoohoo⦠Youâre not dead. Thatâs great, thatâs great⦠I thought you were deadâ¦â
Alice looked at this scene with mixed feelings. Initially, she had thought that Hua Jinâs appearance might trigger her to recall the memories of being imprisoned in the Sacred Temple. For that reason Alice had persuaded the actor not to visit the girl.
However, when the actor did not appear for a long time, Natalia thought that he was dead and that everyone had been hiding it from her. Her nightmares were endless. She often dreamed of the actor lying on the bed with a white sheet over him. He was no longer breathing and she was heartbroken. She would wake up crying.
Now that she saw he was still alive, Natalia broke down sobbing. All her worries and doubts finally vanished.
âYouâre still alive. Thatâs great, thatâs greatâ¦â
That day, Gong Jie had carried Hua Jin onto the vessel. During the critical period, Natalia overheard Alice mentioning that she wasnât optimistic about the actorâs condition. So she thought that Hua Jin was doomed and had been suppressing her emotions over this matter.
The terrifying memories, coupled with the accumulated worries, finally crushed her.
The actor had not made an appearance for many days, and only Gong Jie and Youyou had been accompanying her. She did not dare to ask about the actor for fear of hearing an answer she wasnât ready for.
The suspicion and nightmare that she had been suppressing for the past days finally became the last straw that broke her. Natalia was so devastated that she broke everything in the room. She felt that there was no longer any reason for her to be alive. She would not have lasted until now if the actor and Alice had not taken care of her when she was imprisoned in the Sacred Temple. Hence, she felt guilty and thought it was her own fault that Hua Jin died.
Now that Hua Jin was standing before her alive, she thought she was dreaming.
âAm I dreaming?â Natalia cupped his face in her hands, choking with grief. âIs it true? Are you really alive?â
The actor was greatly amused, but he was also filled with endless emotions.
So it turned out that the girl had been fretting over him?
