You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1872: Silent Farewell

Cloud pursed his lips and watched Vicki, motionless, as if he knew what she was going to say next because they understood each other too well. Subconsciously, he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, but the tighter he held it, the more his hand trembled, and the muzzle kept shaking.

Both Mr. Ball and Luther were nervous at the same time, fearing that the gun might accidentally go off.

At this moment, Vicki took a deep breath, suddenly smiled slightly, her smile filled with infectious warmth.

"Rayan, between us, it's already in the past. I hope that in my heart, you will always remain as the big brother who loved and protected me. I will always remember your kindness. I know that I owe you, and I won't be able to repay it in this lifetime. But if there is a next life, we can start over. I will repay you for this debt of mine, in full."

Upon hearing these words, the light in Cloud's eyes suddenly faded, like a dying ember.

She had made it clear, it was impossible between them. In her heart, he would always be a brother. If they didn't want to turn against each other, if they wanted to leave the best memories in her heart, the best course of action was to let go now. Otherwise, with her personality, if he killed Felix, she would eventually follow him in death. His own life didn't matter, but her life was what he cherished the most.

He had done so much, right or wrong, all for her sake.

In the gentlest way possible, she extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

It was a silent farewell.

He couldn't be any clearer about it.

There are a few bugs in there, and if the researchers at OGW are skilled enough, they can also crack the bugs. But if they can't, I can't help either. However, it won't take them longer than a week to discover the existence of the bugs. And during this time, it's enough for you to leave OGW and for OGW to fulfill their promise to you.
