You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1802: Flying Far Away

Cloud abruptly got up from Vicki's body, supporting himself next to her as he gasped heavily.

He looked at her, but her eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth. She no longer resembled the person from before, whose eyes reflected the stars in the sky, full of tenderness. They could never go back.

He sat up and took off his jacket, placing it on her. He buttoned it up for her.

He avoided her gaze.

Picking up the food he had brought earlier from the table, he fed her bite by bite.

Vicki didn't refuse. After sleeping for a day, she was indeed hungry and needed to replenish her energy to sustain herself. Soon, she finished all the food. Although it had the taste of her childhood, she couldn't feel the same nostalgia. Time had passed, and things had changed.

Her hands were still handcuffed, but she awkwardly reached for a napkin on the table and wiped her lips before discarding it.

Cloud watched her struggle to move, and deep down, he felt sorry for her. But he didn't want to let her go, not now at least.

"What exactly do you want to obtain from the warlords?" Vicki sat up straight and asked. She stretched her legs and jingled the shackles around her ankles. "There's no need. If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't have exchanged Anderson for you and come here with you. I wouldn't have drunk the mineral water you gave me."

Cloud remained silent, squatting down with one knee in front of Vicki. He caught a glimpse of the red marks and even a place where there was a faint trace of blood on her ankle from the iron shackles. He took out the key from his pocket and unlocked her shackles, throwing them aside.
