Chapter 381 Meet Denise Again (2/2)
n the end, a blue sea appeared in front of me.
There was nothing but waves in the sea. So I kept swimming until I got lost. There was no way at all.
I was so scared at that time. I wanted to go swimming forward, but I couldn't find my way. I wanted to go back, but I forgot the way where I came. I was completely lost. Adorable fish, please tell me, what was I looking for?”
Denise was talking to a fish in the river, and Darren listened carefully. He felt a surging sense of bitterness in his heart. Denise was really a poor, naive girl.
'What was she looking for?'
Darren thought for a moment. Denise's words made him curious and confused at the same time.
”Don't go yet! I am not finished,” Denise said to the fish.
Seeing the fish swim away, she stamped her feet heavily on the shore. She was so lovely, and her radiance was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
”You are looking for freedom, right?”
Darren suddenly appeared beside Denise and asked her in a curious tone. Darren's question startled her a lot, the same way as it surprised her in her dreams.
”Ah! It's you!” Turning back to see who was the owner of the voice, Denise was excited to see Darren. She didn't answer his question. Instead, tears were glistening in her eyes.
”You know what? Last night I dreamed... Never mind. I am not going to say it, or you are going to leave too like that fish.
Am I a sad sack? Boring to talk to? No one wants to hear my stories, like butterflies, bees, birds, and fishes. They are all gone. They all hate me,” Denise said in a quivering voice.
Sensing her grief, Darren decided not to comment. He just stood there quietly with a smile on his face, listening to her rants.
Denise kept talking and seemed to have forgotten Darren's existence. She was crying and laughing at the same time while narrating her experience. Though, Darren thought that she was out of her mind, he kept on listening to her, making silly reactions from time to time to keep her talking. At that point, time seemed to freeze for both Darren and Denise.
