Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 871 - Bab 880

Rebecca raised both hands and assured Rachel at once. "Okay, Mrs. Winston. I'll keep quiet and not speak again."She calmly leaned against the backseat and tried to avoid the knife Rachel swung around. Paul hadn't interacted much with Rebecca in the past, but he had several encounters with her. So, he offered her advice out of kindness. "Ms. Rebecca, you're now aware of Mrs. Winston's current state. Regardless of what has happened, she watched you grow up. I hope you can be more understanding and consider her emotions."Rebecca pursed her lips and didn't speak. She only glanced up at the rearview mirror to meet Paul's gaze. Then, she remained obediently seated in the back.She cussed Rachel out in her mind as she felt the sharp pain in her neck. Even so, she didn't voice her thoughts because it was unnecessary, and she valued her life.The car soon arrived at a secluded villa. Judging from the surroundings and the villa's furnishings, this was likely where the Winston family resided

Left with nowhere to hide, Rebecca could only shut her eyes in defeat. She had experienced many close brushes with death, so she wasn't too fazed at this crucial moment. Rebecca merely grieved her doomed fate. God kept subjecting her to the same situation, even after she survived every time.It was a pity that she couldn't spend more quality time with her family. She was about to make her parents go through the pain of losing a child again.If Rebecca had known this sooner, she would've lived like an average person instead of returning to her parents. It would have been better if they had accepted her disappearance sooner instead of reuniting with her only to lose her again.Similarly, Rebecca wouldn't be as emotionally attached if she had never felt the warmth of a family. The situation was pure torture. Yet, the pain she expected never came.For a brief second, Rebecca wondered if she was having a nightmare. She only realized what had happened was crueler than her nightma

"Does that mean you're worried about me, Becca?" David perceptively analyzed the meaning behind her words. Then, his smile broadened, and he asked, "Are you that worried that I'll die?"Rebecca was speechless. She didn't say those things because she still had feelings for him. She only stated a logical conclusion after weighing the pros and cons like a regular person. After all, any criminal would flee the country to enjoy life abroad.Meanwhile, David had escaped abroad but returned. It was impossible to understand why he did so. It was impossible to talk to a brick wall. Rebecca finally understood that. Even if David knew what others meant, he would only interpret their words based on his preference. Her head and arm hurt at that moment. Plus, seeing David only frustrated her more. So, she decided to shut her eyes and rest.That was when David chuckled again. "You've slept all day and night. Yet, you're sleeping again after waking up and having a meal? Are you a hibernatin

David had just said that when the man outside the door brought some rope.The man had seen Rebecca in Seardale before and knew everyone was respectful toward her.Perhaps he hadn't adjusted to the current situation. So, he stepped forward and politely greeted Rebecca. Then, he motioned ahead and made it clear he wanted Rebecca to get up. Rebecca remained seated, turned, and smirked at David. "Weren't you going to bring me downstairs after your meal? Isn't it too troublesome to do it now?""It'll only trouble you, not me." David's grim, impatient expression had eased up by then. He lazily glanced at her and stated, "I'd stare at you every second of the day if I could, Becca."After saying that, he shot a look at the man in black beside him, opened the door, and exited the room."You know how Mr. Winston's temper is, Ms. Becca. Please don't make things difficult for me." The man hadn't moved once after he motioned her to stand.Rebecca peered at him while her lips curved into a s

Rebecca indifferently watched as David dealt with the injury on her left arm, bandaged it, and tied a neat knot at the end. Throughout that, she never spoke and only narrowed her eyes at David, who knelt on one knee before her.There was a scar on the latest wound of David's abdomen. However, it looked aged, like faint words carved on a tree years ago.Rachel watched her son kneel from behind. After wiping the tears from her eyes, she couldn't help saying, "David, you're injured, and your wound has just ripped open. Doesn't it hurt to kneel like that?" David couldn't be bothered to respond. He gave a satisfied nod at Rebecca's arm before using his arms to hoist himself up. When he noticed that Rebecca's gaze was on his abdomen, he let out a light chuckle. "Are you reminiscing about the past, Becca?"That snapped Rebecca out of her thoughts. She glanced up at David with a smirk. "Yeah, I was wondering why I was so merciful and didn't let you die on that mountain."David didn't s
