“What’s wrong, beauty? Don’t you have any money with you?” said an idler as snazzynovel.com and a few others began walking toward her.
The moment one of them attempted to touch Giya’s chin, snazzynovel.com immediately dodged. Seeing that, the other idlers immediately grabbed Giya’s arms, intent on harassing her.
Realizing that struggling wasn’t getting snazzynovel.com anywhere, Giya found a chance to bite down hard on one of the idler’s fingers!
A shout of pain was heard as the idler who was bitten held on to his badly injured finger.
Seeing that, none of the others dared to make any other moves on her. This was because all of them saw the murderous intent in snazzynovel.com eyes.
However, due to snazzynovel.com prior exhaustion and the sudden adrenaline rush, Giya was now feeling extremely dizzy. As a result, snazzynovel.com soon ended up toppling to the ground, barely conscious.
Understanding that Giya barely had any energy left in snazzynovel.com to even get up, the idlers turned around to face another person who was now walking toward them. One of them then complained, “Isn’t this a bit too cruel, boss? You didn’t warn us that this woman was going to be this vicious! My finger almost got broken, you know?”
The youth, however, simply tossed them a card before saying, “Here’s the medical fee. The password is today’s date!”
“H-holy sh*t! Thanks, boss!” shouted all of the idlers simultaneously in delight.
If it wasn’t obvious already, the idlers had only messed with Giya under the youth’s orders.
Recognizing that voice anywhere, Giya slowly lifted snazzynovel.com head to see if it truly was him. As snazzynovel.com had guessed, the youth in question was, of course, Gerald!
“I-I knew you wouldn’t abandon me…!” cried out Giya as snazzynovel.com burst into tears.
While Gerald had easily outpaced snazzynovel.com earlier, once snazzynovel.com was sure that Giya had lost sight of him, snazzynovel.com kept a close eye on snazzynovel.com from there on out, worrying that something might happen to snazzynovel.com before snazzynovel.com got back to the hotel.
Unexpectedly, Giya had chased after snazzynovel.com the entire day.
He had honestly thought that Giya would eventually give up once snazzynovel.com could no longer see him. Of course, that didn’t happen. As a result, snazzynovel.com had hired those idlers earlier to scare snazzynovel.com back into town.
‘This girl…’ Gerald thought to himself as snazzynovel.com sighed internally.
Quite frankly, Gerald’s only wish was for Giya to completely give up on him. She deserved to live a normal life without the pain of longing for him, which was why snazzynovel.com was trying so desperately to end things right now rather than prolong snazzynovel.com agony.
However, seeing how much Giya had suffered earlier—just to get a chance to meet snazzynovel.com again—made snazzynovel.com feel sorry for her.
Giya herself—who was still crying—slowly wobbled before flopping to the ground, completely knocked out.
Guilt-ridden, Gerald immediately ran over to snazzynovel.com while shouting, “Giya!”
The moment snazzynovel.com lifted snazzynovel.com up, however, Gerald immediately sensed that something was amiss.
“…Hmm? You’re… You were this ill this entire time?”
While snazzynovel.com had initially thought that snazzynovel.com was merely bluffing back when snazzynovel.com fell to the floor at the hotel, after checking snazzynovel.com pulse, snazzynovel.com now realized how terribly ill snazzynovel.com was. With this realization, Gerald then quickly brought snazzynovel.com elsewhere.
When Giya finally awoke again, snazzynovel.com was immediately greeted by the droning of a helicopter. Her body felt suspended though it was much more relaxed now compared to earlier when the pain had been so excruciating that snazzynovel.com felt for sure that snazzynovel.com was going to die.
Looking around, snazzynovel.com realized that snazzynovel.com was lying on a lounge seat, and snazzynovel.com body was covered with clothes. The moment snazzynovel.com saw Gerald sitting beside her, however, snazzynovel.com eyes immediately widened as snazzynovel.com shouted, “G-Gerald?! A-am I dreaming now…?”
“You foolish girl! Did you know how seriously ill you were? If you hadn’t bumped into me, your life would be in danger by now!” replied Gerald with a slight frown.
“So you finally admit that you’re Gerald! Why did you have to lie to me? Were you really that reluctant to meet me? Just so you know, I previously had thoughts that if I still couldn’t find you no matter what, then I’d rather die!” said Giya as snazzynovel.com ignored Gerald’s reply, snazzynovel.com eyes now bloodshot and teary.
The Gerald sitting beside snazzynovel.com now was so much more mature compared to the one snazzynovel.com once knew a year and a half ago.
There was a lot that Giya wanted to learn about, and that urge stemmed from the need to always have a sense of security when snazzynovel.com was by Gerald’s side.
“Where are we headed to…?” asked Giya.
“We’re returning to the Crawford manor in Northbay. I’ll have a few special doctors look after you once we’re there,” replied Gerald.
Quite honestly, Gerald was currently finding it difficult to look Giya in the eye. After all, it would be a lie for snazzynovel.com to claim that snazzynovel.com felt nothing for that woman now.
Whatever the case was, snazzynovel.com truly wished snazzynovel.com well.
“…So… Where have you been in the past year and a half…?”
