Chapter 231

Shawn was smart and good at reading others. When I asked that question, his eyes darkened. Then, he questioned me in a low voice, "Did somebody say something to you earlier?"
Shawn was smart and good at reading others. When I asked that question, his eyes darkened. Then, he questioned me in a low voice, "Did somebody say something to you earlier?"

I shook my head and denied it, "I was just curious."

After he heard my answer, he pointed out firmly, "You tend to shake your head every time you lie. Not to mention, your eyes are avoiding me completely. Ray, no matter what nonsensical rumors you hear, you have to believe in one thing. I will never leave you for any reason, and I will never let go of your hand because of the obstacles in my path."

Why is he saying that all of a sudden…

I stubbornly repeated my question, "When did you first learn about me?"

If it was in the past, I would have buried those words at the bottom of my heart and silently tortured myself by imagining various nonsensical scenarios in my head after hearing what Eliza said. However, when it came to Shawn, I needed to clarify things.

He knew that I wanted an answer. Therefore, he pondered for a moment before he answered seriously, "I heard of your name in the past, but I never paid much attention to your existence. I also didn't know what you looked like. The first time I actually took notice of you was when you met me for the first time. It was not until later that I realized you were the president of the Felix Family and the ex-wife of Nicholas Forger. Although I could have learned about your identity earlier, I was not interested in learning more about you. I believed you when you claimed that you were Myra Felix because I didn't care much about whether it was true."

He claimed that we met for the first time at the homestay. In that case, I believed him.

As long as the words came out of his mouth, I would believe in everything that he said.

Besides, his behavior at the time hadn't been out of place. He even thought that I was short of money and asked if I needed help. Of course, if he had known about my identity at the time, he would not have asked me such an idiotic question.

So, no dishonesty or other factors influenced our meeting.

He had allowed me to approach him simply because I was Myra Felix.

It was not because of his misunderstanding regarding the kidney…

I asked softly, "Why did you allow me to approach you back then?"

Why did he abruptly announce that he would be my brother and protect me for the rest of my life?

There were so many other women in the world. Why me?

Shawn replied indifferently, "You kissed me."

I asked in confusion, "Huh?"

"After you fell into the river, you couldn't regulate your breathing. When I approached you… You kissed me at the time, Ray. I have always acted alone throughout my entire life, but I am stubborn down to my very bones. To put it bluntly, I am conservative and old-fashioned! When you kissed me that day… That was my first kiss. The situation was so unexpected that I couldn't stop you in time. Things had already progressed to that point, and there was nothing I could do. Perhaps, you left a mark on my heart at that time, so…"

He suddenly looked sideways at me and continued resolutely, "So, no matter what mistakes you might make or what misconduct you might cause in the future, I will always accept and indulge you. I regarded you as a child who needed time to grow up."

I stared blankly at the man's side profile in front of me. When I reflected on our interactions, he had indeed been very indulgent toward me. Yet, no matter what happened, he always acted from a bystander's perspective and never punished or reprimanded me.

Moreover, he was always the first to come forward and protect me whenever I was in trouble!

He was like a mature and down-to-earth adult who silently watched over his child from the shadows. In this case, I was the child in question.

He always spoiled and pampered me as though I were a child.

So what if the things Eliza claimed turned out to be true? So what if he really wanted to kill me?

Even if I were to die at his hands one day, I would willingly die for him.

"Thank you, Shawn."

Thank you for appearing in my life at the right time.

…

Shawn and I kept vigil together that night. Unfortunately, I eventually became too exhausted and was forced to retire to my room. After I returned to my room, I felt a faint metallic taste in my throat but thought nothing of it. It was just that my entire body felt weak, and I quickly fell asleep after laying down on the bed. Not long afterward, I heard somebody calling my name beside me.

I reluctantly opened my eyes to see Shawn.

Shawn noticed that I wasn't faring well, so he asked gently, "Are you still sleepy?"

I got up and burrowed myself in his arms. "Is the funeral about to start?"

"Yes. You need to get up and get changed."

It was with extreme reluctance that I got out of bed to change my clothes. Then, I dragged my weary body out the door to accompany Shawn as he saw his mother off for the last time. When they closed the coffin, I noticed his reddened eyes were completely bloodshot.

The funeral ended at 9.00AM. We drove back to Eldham without further delay instead of returning to the Xenos' villa. On the way back, my lower abdomen kept hurting. The metallic taste in my throat also grew stronger.

We finally arrived back at the apartment at 2.00PM. Shawn drank a glass of milk, took a shower, and went into the bedroom to catch up on some sleep. On the other hand, I took the chance while he was asleep to drive myself to the hospital for a physical examination.
