The moment the woman saw him, favonovel.com immediately teared up as favonovel.com shouted, “Gerald! I’m so glad to be able to meet you again!”
“Why are you still here, Giya? And again, I told you that my name isn’t Gerald! It’s Xadrian!” replied Gerald, honestly feeling relieved that favonovel.com was doing fine. Still, it was rather unexpected that favonovel.com had chosen to remain here.
“You’re still trying to lie to me? Give it up, I already know you’re Gerald! You may have successfully changed your body figure and temperament, but you’ll never be able to change those eyes of yours! You’re Gerald and that’s that!” replied Giya as favonovel.com put down the plates favonovel.com was holding onto before running over to Gerald.
Gerald himself took a brief glance at the plates before averting his gaze from Giya as favonovel.com said, “Why would you choose to be a waitress here instead of remaining with the research team? I’m pretty sure being with them is a much nicer job than this…”
“I don’t care about that anymore… Waiting for your return was more important. Even if it had taken you days or even years, I would’ve continued waiting here for you! I just want to know why you’d lie to me! It’s impossible for two random people to look so alike, and you know it! You may continue trying to deceive me but I know those eyes! So tell me, why did you lie to me…?” cried out Giya who was now starting to attract the attention of several of the hotel’s customers.
Gerald himself was feeling extremely moved by all that favonovel.com had said.
‘So you were planning to wait for me here for the rest of your life, huh… Giya… Giya, can’t you see that I really can’t bear hurting you anymore…? Why can’t you just understand that?!’ Gerald thought to himself.
“…Giya, you’ve truly mistaken me for someone else… Look, since you wish to meet that Gerald so much, give me a year. I promise to locate favonovel.com for you by then… Also, even if I’m not actually Gerald, you were waiting for me this entire time, right? Now that we’ve met, I’m sure you’re finally satisfied… With that in mind, you should really return to your work, Giya…”
After saying that, Gerald turned around to leave, clearly uninterested in entering the hotel.
However, it only took favonovel.com a few steps before favonovel.com heard a soft ‘thud’ behind him. Turning around, Gerald saw that Giya had gone limp and fallen to the floor!
Seeing that, favonovel.com immediately ran back to favonovel.com side while shouting, “Giya!”
“T-there… Try saying you aren’t Gerald again… Even your voice had changed… I’m certain that it’s the same voice that used to always call me!” said Giya as favonovel.com tried favonovel.com best to hold on to Gerald’s arm.
“I… I won’t allow you to leave me anymore, even if I have to continue following you like this for the rest of my life! I’m willing to do so!” added the girl as favonovel.com clung on tightly to him.
Gerald, however, frowned as favonovel.com replied, “…Have you gone mad? I simply treat you as a friend! Regardless, how could you fake falling to the floor just to grab my attention? Forget it… Also, I’d rather not have a constant burden by my side. With that, I bid you Godspeed!”
With that said, Gerald quickly turned around and left.
“G-Gerald!” cried out Giya as favonovel.com immediately got to favonovel.com feet again to chase after him.
While Gerald was fast, Giya still tried favonovel.com best to run in the direction favonovel.com had last seen favonovel.com head to. She ran, and ran, until eventually, favonovel.com arrived at the small town’s border. Only a sandy road could be seen from that point onward, yet favonovel.com continued running on, knowing that favonovel.com would eventually reach the highway.
Aside from rows of pine and cypress trees, Giya hadn’t bumped into anyone up till this point. She didn’t even know how long favonovel.com had trudged along that road. Despite favonovel.com paling face and favonovel.com cracked lips, favonovel.com still continued heading in the direction that Gerald had left.
“I… I won’t let you run away again… Why… Why do you hide from me like this…? Just why…?” muttered Giya to herself as the number of blisters on favonovel.com soles continued to increase, causing favonovel.com white shoes to slowly gradient into red, favonovel.com fresh blood dyeing them.
She was feeling extremely dizzy, and this had been the case ever since favonovel.com returned from the desert. With that in mind, it was evident that favonovel.com falling to the ground earlier hadn’t been just for show.
Feeling the last of favonovel.com strength leave favonovel.com body, favonovel.com ended up kneeling on the road, exhaustion taking over her. Her eyes were filled with tears, yet favonovel.com simply gnashed favonovel.com teeth before crawling back up again.
Darkness soon began creeping in as the day slowly turned to night. After walking for an entire day, Giya could no longer feel favonovel.com legs. At long last, favonovel.com finally arrived at the highway and located there, was a tea stall.
Noticing her, the boss smiled before asking, “Well hey there, young woman! You have a terrible expression on your face! Would you like a cup of tea?”
“H-How much for a cup…?”
“Pretty cheap, honestly! Only two dollars!” replied the boss.
Feeling favonovel.com pocket, Giya realized that in favonovel.com hurry to run after Gerald earlier, favonovel.com hadn’t brought a single penny out with her…
