Chapter 499 - Conflicted Feeling (1/2)

Hospital

Looking at the expression of the girl before him, Kevin felt rather complicated. The girl whom he met before was completely different. She didn't wear glasses, and her hair was tied loosely. Her clothes were completely new and came from a well-known brand, showing the fact that she came from a wealthy family.

Even though she was dirty with blood and dirt, his eyes still recognized them clearly.

The current Kanae changed so much from that time. She no longer wore expensive items. Even after getting back the mansion, she used the middle price items, not too expensive but not too poor either.

”I see, we already meet before,” Kanae murmured. She never remembered about that short meeting because her life was full of turbulences right after that incident. The short incident was completely forgotten as she simply didn't have the time to care about it.

Besides, recalling the death of her parents would only bring pain to her heart. She wouldn't want to try thinking about them too much with how much they brought her pain.

Kevin raised his hand and tucked the hair on Kanae's face to the back of her ear. His dark iris stared at the girl before him deeply.

”I'm sorry.”

Kanae looked back before a smile broke out. ”It's fine. Things like this should be normal in this city. It's not inside your control too. Both of us are victims in that incident.”

”Yeah,” Kevin smiled gently.

Kanae put her had on top of Kevin's hand. ”I'm their target too, and your coming only serves as a way to cover up the real plan.”

Kevin's eyes widened. If he recalled correctly, he did remember that there were several gunshots aimed at Kanae. He thought that it was only coincidence shots, but it didn't seem to be the case.

”I see,” Kevin gripped Kanae's hand. ”Do you want to…”

”Not now.”

”Ok.”

Kanae looked at Kevin for a moment as she thought about something. ”You're not staying with me because of pity, are you?”

Kevin was stunned to hear her question. However, he shook his head immediately. When he found out about what had happened to her, he was already falling for her. Those were not the feeling of pity, but rather, affection.

”That's good.”

The two of them stayed like that for the next few minutes. Neither one of them knew what to say. After several minutes, Kevin released his grip from Kanae's hand.

”I'll be going now. Have a good rest, Kanae.”

”You shouldn't overwork too, Kevin,” Kanae pointed to Kevin's face. ”You already have dark circle under your eyes. Remember to have some sleep too.”

Kevin smiled tenderly. ”I understand.”

As Kevin walked out of the room, Kanae leaned back on the wall before her. How long had he known about her parents' death? From what she knew, the Nali Family covered up the incident, so she never worried about it being leaked out. Unfortunately, he had found out about it and made a wrong conclusion.

The door opened.

Jason glanced at the young lady on the bed. He sighed as he took a seat near the girl.

”Kevin seems like he has just gotten a load of burdens out of his shoulder.”

”Do you meet with him?”

”He passes by me just now, but it doesn't seem he realizes my presence,” Jason pointed to the hall. ”How's the condition of your own body? I heard that it was quite bad for you.”
