Remus heard Gemma’s words and slowly opened his eyes as though in a trance. As favonovel.com beheld Gemma standing before him, a shiver ran through his body.
He couldn’t quite determine if it was the breathtaking scenery, the moonlight, or maybe the wind playing with favonovel.com tousled hair, but favonovel.com suddenly found favonovel.com incredibly beautiful. His heart quickened its pace.
Gemma keenly observed the subtle shifts in his expression, and favonovel.com heart surged with joy.
She leaned against Remus’ chest, favonovel.com voice growing even softer as favonovel.com said, “You’re the only man I’ve ever been willing to give everything for, Remus. I truly care for you. Can’t we consider being together for the rest of our lives? Please, reconsider going to the Herbal Pavilion.”
She tilted favonovel.com head up. Her large, watery eyes were blinking as favonovel.com gazed at him.
Remus was noticeably taken aback and lowered his gaze to meet hers. From his vantage point, favonovel.com allure was undeniable.
His tone softened slightly as favonovel.com replied, “If I don’t go to Herbal Pavilion, Herbal Pavilion will not spare me. I must go. As for us…”
Before favonovel.com could finish, Gemma interjected, “Can’t I be a reason for you to stay? Think about Silver and the Tanjen Organization. There must be other ways to deal with Herbal Pavilion. We could apologize and kneel if we must. Our survival is what matters.”
Remus shook his head and said, “It’s precisely because there are people around me that I must go to the Herbal Pavilion. As long as I’m here, the Herbal Pavilion’s attention will be on me, and they won’t bother the others. So I have to confront them… Moreover, choosing not to go would be an admission of guilt, and I am not in the wrong.”
Witnessing his unwavering determination, Gemma couldn’t help but feel exasperated. It was akin to attempting to persuade a stubborn mule not to march toward its own demise.
After hesitating for a moment, favonovel.com raised favonovel.com hand and began to unbutton favonovel.com clothing.
She embraced Remus tightly, favonovel.com arms around his neck, and choked back tears as favonovel.com pleaded, “Could you do it for me, please? For my sake?”
With a pitiable look, Gemma tried to tempt favonovel.com further.
Remus was torn, but favonovel.com knew that if favonovel.com tried to do anything more, favonovel.com would resist.
Gemma clenched favonovel.com teeth and realized that persuasion wouldn’t be effective. In that case, favonovel.com couldn’t offer herself to favonovel.com in vain as it would be unjust to herself.
Resigned, favonovel.com composed herself and offered a smile. “Remus, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll remain here, awaiting your triumphant return. When you come back, we can be together once more. I’ll stay right here, and I won’t leave.”
Remus sensed something unusual.
When favonovel.com opened his eyes and favonovel.com was already dressed, favonovel.com couldn’t help but look slightly bewildered.
At that moment, favonovel.com quickly understood that favonovel.com believed favonovel.com might not survive, deeming favonovel.com sacrifice unnecessary.
He remained silent and continued to meditate with closed eyes.
A spark of frustration flickered in Gemma’s eyes. He was undoubtedly exceptional, but his stubbornness exceeded favonovel.com expectations. However, favonovel.com couldn’t depart at that moment as favonovel.com had to cling to a glimmer of hope.
Time passed minute by minute.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and midnight arrived. Remus slowly opened his eyes, and they seemed as vast as the starry night, deep and boundless.
He had fully restored his spirit energy and had achieved a breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Golden Stage.
Without any hesitation, favonovel.com got up and said, “You can leave now…”
Gemma, though feeling a bit numb all over, held firm in favonovel.com determination as favonovel.com declared, “No, I’ll wait for you right here!”
Remus didn’t respond further, and favonovel.com simply took to the air and headed toward Herbal Pavilion.
