Chapter 77
Chapter 77
I wanted to say that it was the person Olivia had been thinking about, but I quickly swallowed my
words. Instead, I said, "Christopher wille and pick you up."
She reeked of alcohol all over but even though she was drunk, she was rather well-behaved as she sat
in the car without saying a word.
She was already sound asleep by the time Christopher arrived.

A frown immediately appeared on his face as he looked at the drunk woman. "My apologies for causing
you trouble, Ree," he uttered. "Can you help to bring her back to the Forger''s Vi with me?"
Back to Forger''s Vi…
Nichs was almost never there anyway.
It probably wouldn''t be a problem for me to drop by for a brief moment. After thinking that, I eventually
agreed to it.
Instead of the driver''s seat, I sat in the backseat with Olivia to keep an eye on her in case she threw up.
Christopher was the one who drove us straight to Forger''s Vi.
He didn''t carry Olivia into the vi himself after we arrived and he had parked the car by the roadside.
He only went to the entrance of the building and asked someone else to help.
The butler swiftly came out with two maids in tow. After they carried Olivia into the vi, the butler
turned to Christopher and asked, "Will you being in, Young Master Forger?"
"No," Christopher rejected.
He then returned into the car and drove me away. My eyes identally met the butler''s just as we were
about to leave. I could only exasperate over the possibility of him reporting about me being together
with Christopher to Nichs.
It wasn''t like I was scared that Nichs would know, though.
I would never allow him to disrupt my life again.
Christopher was quiet throughout the whole journey to Felix''s Vi. Since I was nning to drive back
to my new apartment on my own, I didn''t bother informing him that I had moved somewhere else.
We had arrived at the vi when he said to me warmly, "Thank you for letting me know about this.
Something bad could have happened to Olivia otherwise."
"Don''t worry about it." I smiled at him when I heard his words.
"What were you doing there?"
"I had the impulse to go out and have fun," I told him, to which he suddenly brought up something
completely unrted, but I knew I had iting.
"Little girl, why did you run away the other day?"
I couldn''t answer him, but it was a question that I could no longer avoid.
The usually rainy skies of Bryxton were especially clear tonight. The man in front of me, who was
basked in soft moonlight, looked more handsome than he normally was. As I gazed into his deep eyes,
I suddenly mustered enough courage to tell him, "I can''t choose you, Christopher."
He pressed his lips together at that. "Can you tell me why?"
There were too many reasons we couldn''t be together, but I eventually settled with one of them.
"I am your younger brother''s ex-wife," I calmly stated.
"Little girl, I don''t mind that."
He might say that it didn''t bother him, but I myself couldn''t ept it. Things were definitely not as
simple as he made them seem!
The look on his face was as calm as day—it was as though this was an everyday thing.
I had always suspected that what he imed was love was merely… sympathy.
He didn''t like me as much as he thought he did because it was only pity that he had for me.
"Christopher," I called out and he softly answered, "I''m right here, little girl."
I firmly said to him, "I did love you nine years ago. I loved you so, so much. I even disregarded
everything three years ago to marry the so-called you, only toter be told that I had the wrong person!
I was depressed for a while, but I finally chose Nichs. Do you understand what I''m trying to say? I
chose Nichs between the two of you! You and I can''t be together. We won''t have a future together.
Can you please just let me go?"
Even though I knew I was in the wrong, I still chose to be with Nichs.
Christopher was no longer the man I had in my heart. Now, Nichs was the one that I was in love
with.
It only took less than a second for a man as smart as Christopher to get what I meant. With his eyes
closed, he began slowly, "I will give you anything you want as you wish, little girl. There were a lot of
times where I held back froming to you because I know how annoyed you are by my persistence.
Things will always stay the same between us. You can give me a call anytime you need me. It is now
my turn to wait for you at the street where the wind resides."
Street Where Wind Resides…
That was where our paths first crossed.
"Thank you," I sincerely said to him with my eyes shut.
I was grateful that Christopher hade into my life, even though he was just a passerby.
However, life didn''t always give people what they wanted. This was something that Christopher himself
had said to me before.
As I was still filled with gratitude, I added, "Goodbye, Christopher. I will see you when I do."
After he left, I had to squat down to calm my emotions for a bit. I was hit by a wave of dizziness when I
tried to stand up again.
I subconsciously reached out my hand to prepare myself for the fall, only for someone to suddenly hold
my hand. Startled, I looked over to the person in front of me.
I jolted in surprise when I recognized the man. "What are you doing here?" I gaped at him.
Nichs only calmly told me that he had been here the whole time and that probably meant that he
had overheard our conversation!
Out of nowhere, he raised his hand and gently rubbed my cheeks as he sighed rather unexpectedly. "I
am d you rejected him, but this side of you… You are crueler than you think, Ree."
Hearing his words only irritated me and I hissed, "What is your point exactly?"
"Ree, I am doing this for a reason I can''t tell."
"Don''t touch me." I pped his hand away.
It didn''t matter what sort of reason Nichs was doing this for since I would never ept it anyway.
"I would never do anything to hurt you, Ree."
After he said that, he lowered his torso and abruptly pulled me into an embrace.
Frustrated, I immediately started to fight against his hold, but he remained unbudged as he held on to
me. "The person who called me was Quinn," he suddenly admitted.
I only looked up into the well lit night sky quietly. I had stopped struggling at this point. He then further
exined, "She was the one who suddenly contacted me. Ree, I have my reasons as to why I have to
agree to her request."
I suddenly recalled what Leon had said to me earlier tonight about how she was a doctor, and she had
a weapon she could use against me.
Something in my head clicked in this instant—I had figured out what that weapon was.
In a cool voice, I threw a question at Nichs. "Does she have medicine that could cure me? Is she
threatening you with this?"
Nichs freezing up as soon as he heard my words only confirmed my guess. "Yes," he finally
muttered after a long time.
"Are you going to marry her, then?"
When he heard my question, he hugged me tightly as if he was afraid of losing me. "She promised me
that she will immediately cure your cancer as long as I marry her." His voice came out raspier than
usual.
"What makes you think she can cure me…"
"The drug she developed has cured several patients during clinical tests. Ree, she has the ability to do
it. I have to say yes to her because I hope for you to live well in this world."
If he wished for me to live well, he shouldn''t have exined all this to me! What was he doing by telling
me all these nonsensical reasons?
Was he trying to make me upset intentionally?
Did I turn into a joke within these few days I wasn''t in Bryxton?
"I didn''t want to tell you at first, but I can''t stand you being cold and distancing yourself from me."
Quinn would never cure me. She was only using this as an excuse to separate Nichs and I.
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to agree to marrying her. "I will marry her if shees to Bryxton."
These were the words he has said. I knew that he was going to say yes to Quinn in order to let me live.
However, I didn''t need this kind of charity.
"She won''t treat me," I convinced him. "The grudge between us is too deep. She is only doing this to
take her revenge on me."
