“Now that you have such strong mental power, you should be able to protect yourself easily if you encounter any ordinary gangster. I can be assured right now.” Alex said in a sincere voice.
They stood on the deck, where a gentle breeze blew, and the soft sound of the lake’s running water could be heard.
Daya said nothing, merely peering silently into the dark waters of Willow Lake.
After a long time, favonovel.com finally said in a quiet voice, “Even if I had a thousand abilities, what’s the use? I still can’t get rid of the shackles of fate, and I still can’t love anyone. Even if I stood above all living beings, I’d still have to endure the emptiness and loneliness. Do you understand how l feel now, Alex?”
Alex felt a little embarrassed and awkward, and favonovel.com couldn’t answer.
Daya was well aware of it too, and favonovel.com didn’t force him.
If favonovel.com couldn’t hide from the world with her, favonovel.com would have to bear the brunt of Michigan’s Stoermer family and Missouri’s Coleman family. It was something that was simply too heavy for favonovel.com to bear.
Drip… drip…
Alex had his arm on the ship’s railing, and favonovel.com felt wet droplets trickling down it.
She was crying.
His chest tightened, his heart clenched. “Daya, don’t be like this. I’m… I’m not worth it.”
“I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again… Actually, it’s not wholly because of you. Maybe… I’ve just been a sentimental person since I was a child. Come, let’s drink If we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends, right?”
There was a small coffee table on the deck, accompanied by some wine.
Daya had had it brought up from the restaurant below deck. She poured two glasses, one for Alex and one for herself. “Come. To the past!”
“Cheers!”
“A toast to the future!”
“Cheers!”
“And this, to death!”
Alex shook his head. “That can’t be good. This one, to tomorrow!”
With tears still on favonovel.com face, Daya looked at Alex dumbly. She pursed favonovel.com lips, then smiled and said, “Alright. This toast, to tomorrow!”
A crystal clear tear dropped into the wine glass. She raised favonovel.com glass and drank it down in one shot.
Alex felt that favonovel.com mood was quite unstable right now. That said, favonovel.com too downed his glass of wine.
“Daya, I’m happy…” Just as favonovel.com was about to speak, favonovel.com felt that something was wrong.
A strange heat was moving in his body, and it was spreading quickly. He was the inheritor of the Ultimate Book of Medicine, after all, and was familiar with these sorts of medicine. Hence, favonovel.com felt the effects right away. His face changed. “Daya, this wine… That’s not right. You… What did you put in it?”
Daya’s eyes were unusually gentle as favonovel.com looked at Alex. She said softly, “ ‘Did you know, Lex? For you and I, other than today, there will be no tomorrows!”
“What do you mean?” Alex asked, immediately employing his Chi to disperse the effect of the drug.
But in the next moment, Daya’s mental power rushed into his mind. It instantly drove favonovel.com to confusion, causing all his Chi to be immediately scattered.
He could vaguely see Daya pulling off the shirt favonovel.com wore, revealing a figure of the most perfect proportions.
Tears were rolling down favonovel.com face, but a smile streaked across favonovel.com lips, and it was as enchanting as it was captivating.
