I guess he wasn’t dumb enough to freeze.
It was impossible to let go after decades together.
But after that, I never saw him again.
Quinn hadn’t shown up for a month.
I figured he’d gone back home.
I felt a little empty.
All those years were gone forever.
But I couldn’t worry about it. My mental state
was getting worse.
く
I always felt sleepy.
Luke took me to see his doctor friend, but it
didn’t help.
The doctor suggested some herbal teas.
So I increased the amount of tea to try to stay awake.
But it didn’t help. I got even sleepier.
One groggy night, I was about to go to sleep when someone burst into my bedroom.
Before I could react, he had covered my mouth
and forced something into it.
The heavy taste of blood filled my mouth, and
my eyes widened.
Quinn?
<
He was covered in blood, breathing rapidly, and
held a finger to his lips.
“I’m getting you out of here.”
He picked me up, climbed out the window, and started running.
We’d only run a few steps when I heard shouts behind us.
“Damn it! They’re gone! After them!”
Quinn cursed and ran faster.
I suddenly remembered something.
In my past life, I had died from being poisoned.
In my past life, I also loved to drink tea…
Could my recent symptoms be because of…..
<
But who would do this to me?
If it wasn’t Quinn, who was it? Who could get
to me in both lives?
My thoughts were interrupted.
The ocean was ahead of us.
Behind us, countless people and cars were
blocking the road back.
We were surrounded.
I picked up a stick.
The next second, my feet were off the ground. Quinn picked me up and threw me onto a small wooden boat.
It was the only boat on the beach.
“Sit tight!”
<
“Sit tight!”
He pushed the boat into the ocean. The icy
water made him shiver. His arms were straining.
I grabbed his arm.
“Don’t push it anymore! It’s enough! Get on the
boat!”
“Silly, this boat can’t hold two people.”
“It can! You won’t know until you get on!”
I tried to pull him up, but he grabbed my hand.
His chest was submerged in the icy water, his
lips were cold.
“There’s a watchtower up ahead. My men will
meet you there.”
Г
“What about you?”
“I’ll hold them off.”
