74 "Are You Two Forgetting Me?" (1/2)

When she finished speaking, Song Xia was surprised, listening to her own words.

She didn't know why but maybe it was because the little kid extremely resembled her elder brother that she impulsively said those words just now.

Even Ellen was taken aback from her words. He looked at her in disbelief and astonishment.

His gaze suddenly darkened as he lowered his head to hide the strange expression on his face.

'She would rather choose to believe a stranger than me.. What does she exactly think of me?' (A/N: Overthinking kills, Ellen)

He had been feeling extremely happy since morning from accompanying her to breakfast to the movie theatre.

While watching the movie, he had felt ecstatic to have her by his side.

But now it all came crashing down..

He felt a slight suffocation in his heart.

The blazing red suit on his body suddenly made him feel extremely uncomfortable as countless blurried images flashed past his head.

Blood.. Dead bodies.. Red dyed the sky and the land.. There was red everywhere..

(A/N: I know I'm not good at details, just imagine red everywhere)

Different memories that were buried deep in his heart suddenly seemed to have been triggered.

He felt his head ache painfully. Ellen subconsciously stepped back while holding his head.

Seeing him suddenly forcefully closing his eyes, Song Xia felt something was wrong with him.

But it happened all of a sudden that she couldn't react at all. She didn't understand what happened exactly.

The little boy's eyes flashed with a indiscernible light but his expression soon turned back to normal.

He quietly tugged Song Xia's skirt and asked softly with a meaningful gaze, ”Sister, what's wrong with Uncle?”

Song Xia shook her head and shrugged as she muttered anxiously, ”I don't know..”

She walked towards Ellen and hesitated before reaching out her hand and patting his shoulder. ”Ellen... Ellen!”

Ellen frowned as he opened his eyes slowly when he heard someone call out to him.

When he saw the face in front of him clearly, the pain he felt instantly disappeared.

It was as if his world, which was full of darkness, suddenly saw a light..

A very bright light which was her..

Ellen soon calmed down as he indifferently looked at her and avoided her hand.

Seeing his cold expression, Song Xia was puzzled. She didn't know why she suddenly started feeling guilty.

She froze for a while before awkwardly retracting her outstretched hand.

She then worriedly asked him, ”Are you alright?! What happened earlier?”

Ellen looked at her for a while before looking away and coldly said, ”What does it have to do with you?!”
