My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 485

“I never knew you had gone through something like this. It’s a good thing the little girl was around to save you.” Ashlyn’s heart rate suddenly picked up its pace. For some reason, when Lucas spoke about the little girl, fragmented memories suddenly flashed across her mind.

Mountains... Forests...

She didn’t manage to grasp hold of the fleeting thoughts before hearing Lucas continue, “I fell asleep in the cave afterward, and my parents managed to find me. I didn’t see the little girl again, so I started looking for her.”

“Did you ever find her?”

“I did. It turned out to be Hera. But... she’s completely unrecognizable. She’s no longer the kind and brave little girl from back then,” lamented Lucas as he closed his eyes. “My sister was pronounced dead as well. For all these years, her death has weighed heavily on me. If I had just managed to grab on to her in time, then she wouldn’t have died.”

“You were a child back then too. Her death isn’t on you.” Ashlyn reached out to take Lucas’ hand in hers and gave it a little squeeze. “It was an accident.”

“Seeing my sister fall to her death has been too traumatic.” Lucas’ eyes had reddened. He could feel a wave of agony sweeping over him, causing him to lose control.

His breathing became haggard. He couldn’t handle the frustration and anxieties that were surging through him, so he leaped out of bed and gave the wall a violent punch.

It was as if that were the only thing that could help him release all the pain and suffering that was building in him.

Bang!
