Chapter 405


    Chapter 405


    Marcus’forting vibe was like some sort of magic, making her trust him unconditionally, bringing


    peace to Cornelia’s mind.


    Cornelia left the airport with him, hopping into a car heading downtown. As the car moved along, she


    asked again, “You’ve helped Skyler escape from Zavier’s grip, can I still keep in touch with Skyler in the


    future?”


    “You can get in touch with her however you want, don’t worry about anyone.” Marcus replied in a rather


    straightforward manner.


    Cornelia knew, Marcus made it sound simple, but the effort he put in was not simple at all.


    Skyler had been bouncing around a few ces before going to Nice, Zavier still managed to find her in


    such a short time, which was enough to show Zavier’s abilities.


    France wasn’t Marcus’ main stomping ground, managing to dodge Zavier’s surveince in such a short


    time was already quite a feat, yet he pulled it off.


    Cornelia looked at Marcus, with many words of gratitude she wanted to say but didn’t know how. So


    she just kept this gratitude in her heart, nning to work even harder in the future to repay him.


    Marcus caught her nce, turned his head to look at her, “Still worried?”


    “No.” Cornelia looked away, staring out the window at the fast-receding view, hoping in her heart that


    Skyler could finally be truly free this time, never having to hide again.


    Just as Cornelia was thinking about Skyler, a message from Skyler popped in. It was a long one:


    “Cornelia, the first time I met you was on November 12thst year, why do I remember it so clearly?


    Because it was the day before Marcus’ birthday.


    “Marcus brought you to us. I took one look at you and I liked you, even had the idea of wanting to be


    friends with you. But I didn’t dare to approach you, I was afraid you’d reject me or wouldn’t like me.


    “I was afraid you’d think I’m not a good person. I had a lot of fears. I didn’t have the courage to take the


    first step, and I had to pretend that I didn’t care about you.


    “I saw Hannah and Rosie taking the initiative to talk to you. Seeing them chatting happily with you, I


    was jealous. I thought, if only I could talk to you like them. But from that meeting to the next day’s


    farewell, I did not get to talk to you alone much.


    “Our second encounter was this New Year’s, that day I learned your flight was dyed due to weather.


    So I plucked up the courage to invite you to join us at Enchanted Sands for hot springs. That day there


    was you, Hannah, and Rosie, just us four girls and no men. I was really happy, I felt there was hope in


    my life again. But this happy time was quickly disrupted by the sudden appearance of Zavier.


    “When I heard that Zavier and his friends also came to Enchanted Sands, 1 felt an immense pressure,


    like I couldn’t breathe. A terrifying thought came into my head: if death was the only way to escape


    Zavier’s harassment, then I was willing to die.


    “At that time, I was really foolish, not only did I have such a thought, but I also acted on it. I ended the


    life in my womb myself, I wanted to go to another world with my child and live freely. I initially thought I


    wouldn’t be afraid of death, however, when I saw the blood uncontrobly flowing from my body and felt


    my life fading away. I panicked and I was scared.”Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
