Chapter 449 - Buried Memories (2/2)

After that, Xing Han felt like everything went by in a blur.
The hospital discharge, answering the police questions, the purchase of flight tickets, the packing and finally, there they were, waiting for their cab to take them to the airport.
However, just as they went out when their cab arrived, Kyle stopped.
”Wait,” he said, his eyes on something in the distance, ”I'll be back. Just have the cab wait for a while.”
Sam nodded and went to the cab first, handing him some money as compensation to wait.
Xing Han wondered why Kyle had gone off, and quickly followed him. Kyle heard Xing Han's footsteps behind him, and he slowed down to allow Xing Han to catch up.
”What's wrong?” Xing Han asked, seeing the dazed look on Kyle's face.
”Strangely enough, I forgot about this place,” Kyle said in wonder as he stood outside the building that was close to their hotel.
Xing Han looked at where Kyle was staring at.
The entrance had a covered patio, and on top of it was a replica of a vintage Harley Davidson. Above the entrance in a bold, gold and black lettering, were the words, ”The Rock Cafe.”
Kyle entered and looked about. Just like what he remembered. The foyer was the reception area and on the right, was the restaurant that sold mainly western food and on the left, was the nightclub.
The nightclub was only opened at night, starting from 7pm until dawn.
”Why are we here again?” Xing Han asked, following Kyle obediently.
Kyle shook his head, flung his arm around Xing Han's shoulders and led him out, ”Was just reminiscing a bit.”
”You used to come here a lot in your past life?”
Kyle shook his head.
”No. I came a few times, too few to mention,” Kyle replied, ”But ... the last time I was here ... well, let's just say that ever since then, I never did step into the place ever again. Or touched a drink again.”
”What? Why? What happened?”
Kyle sighed.
”Something that I regret to this day,” Kyle said softly, looking back at the building as they walked out, ”I wish I could turn back time and redo the day, but I can't. It was my little dirty secret.”
He gave a loud sigh, ”I guess I was feeling so bad about it, I buried the incident deep down. I don't know why I suddenly remembered now.”
Xing Han gulped, ”Stop with these hints and what-not. Can't you just say outright what happened?! You're worse than an Evil Author giving cliffhangers!”
Kyle laughed at that, ruffling Xing Han's hair and replied, ”It was the day I cheated on my husband.”
”WHAT?!!”
”It's not something I'm proud of, and I never thought of cheating at all,” Kyle said softly, ”Despite how unhappy and unsatisfied I had been, I never thought it would happen. The guilt ate up inside of me.”
”So who was it?” Xing Han asked, ”That person?”
Kyle pursed his lips, ”Chris.”
