Chapter 378


    I used to dislike birthdays because I hated the fake ttery and pleasing


    gestures that came with them. I like authenticity, so that’s why I enjoy


    spending time with you. To me, birthdays aren’t really anything special, but


    this time it became special because it gave me an excuse to take you away


    from Mackenzie. I’ve never had a boyfriend before because I have a deep


    yearning for romance and I won’t settle for anything less than perfection!”


    Thank heavens for letting me meet you. You know, before I met you, I


    despised my strange illness. It tortured me and constantly put the pressure


    of death on me. But after meeting you, I have to thank it because it brought


    me to you, my favorite person.”


    As udette spoke, tears streamed down her face, and the teardrops


    glistened like crystals as they slowly froze on her beautiful face.


    “Stop talking and let us go up first!”


    Emmanuel suddenly felt a heavy heart and even a sense of sadness. He had


    the feeling that udette was bidding farewell


    Although she was currently experiencing a medical episode and her


    condition was dire, he would never let anything happen to her.


    “Yeah, okay!”


    udette wiped away her tears but smiled through them, saying, “Sorry, I just


    blurted out so much. It’s affecting my image. But the truth is, I said all of this


    because I don’t want you to feel pressured.”


    Emmanuel forced a bitter smile and nodded.


    However, he now felt immense pressure…


    He was getting to know udette more and more.


    She and Mackenzie were totally different. She didn’t have the ethereal aura of


    an otherworldly being; she was simply a down–to–earth woman.


    Even though she was born into a wealthy family and was the daughter of a


    general, when she interacted with ordinary people, one could feel her


    sincerity. Even her asional tantrums seemed genuine.


    However, if one thought she was innocent, one would be mistaken. She had


    many hidden intentions, such as during the shooting game and tonight’s


    events. Everything was nned by her.


    Even Zovince’s prodigious Magnus was a pawn on her chessboard.


    Such a woman could have had more, but she chose a poor doctor like him


    without any regrets. How could Emmanuel not feel immense pressure?


    He didn’t want to disappoint such a woman, but deep down, he still cared


    about Mackenzie in his heart…


    At that moment, a beautiful firework appeared in the sky.


    udette’s face suddenly lit up. To her, there was nothing more romantic


    than seeing fireworks tonight.


    Watching fireworks with her beloved had always been one of her dreams.


    Emmanuel, on the other hand, waspletely different.


    Because of his expertise, he understood exactly what those fireworks meant.


    Those were military res andmunication signals!


    In the next moment, Emmanuel suddenly tackled udette to the ground,


    and they started rolling down the slope frantically!


    udette’s heart suddenly raced violently.


    Another one of her wishes hade true!

    She yearned to be yfully tackled by her beloved and roll with him.


    Emmanuel truly surprised her.


    Emmanuel, however, couldn’t care less about what udette was thinking.


    They continued rolling until they reached a low–lying wend, then they


    found a hiding spot before stopping.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    Almost at the same moment, the muddy ground where they had just been


    rolling was riddled with bullet holes!


    White smoke billowed, and dust was all over them.


    However, it wasn’t over yet. With a loud whoosh, a ck figure with firearms


    descended and bombed the area near where they had just been.


    In an instant, the idylldscape on the mountainside waspletely


    destroyed. Mud sttered everywhere, turning it into a hellish scene.


    “Magnus is ruthless!”
