All Chapters of I wish it were you: Chapter 1211 - Chapter 1220

Annabelle kept her eyes closed.Left with no other choice, Kendrick gently kissed her cold lips, tenderly prying them open.There was a subtle medicinal fragrance in her mouth, light and clean, mingled with the bitterness of seawater.Kendrick kissed her with utmost gentleness—it was the only way he could warm her up.Slowly, she responded.Her tongue moved slightly, and then Kendrick tasted a salty flavor—he knew it was the taste of her tears.He pulled away from her lips and saw tears streaming endlessly from her eyes.A surge of joy and heartache overwhelmed him.“I thought I’d never see you again…” Her voice was even hoarser than his.“Me too.” Kendrick smiled and kissed her eyelids.She looked around with hazy eyes and murmured, “Did Young Master leave?”A sharp pang pierced Kendrick’s heart.This heartless woman… I searched for you for three days and three nights, risked my life to find you, and the first thing out of your mouth is asking about him?Didn’t you already cut ties w

As the sky slowly lightened, the dim little cave gradually brightened as well.Kendrick opened his eyes.The fire had long burned out. From outside came the crisp and ethereal cries of seabirds, and the ferry's deep, prolonged whistle echoed faintly across the sea. Though it was still raining, the wind had died down.He looked down at the small woman in his arms—she was still sound asleep, her breathing steady and soft.Kendrick let out a long breath and tightened his arms around her just a little more.Honestly, last night’s sleep had been the most restful he'd had in the past four or five days—even in this cold, damp cave.Thinking again of the cave’s poor conditions, his gaze drifted to the words written in blood on the wall.Blair, Henry McClinton... How desperate were the two of you to escape worldly constraints, to come to such a godforsaken place for a secret meeting?And in what kind of despair, with what kind of heart, did you choose to die together?Hopefully, this Blair was

By now, Annabelle had already come to terms with the fact that she might never make it back to shore. She believed she was destined to drift endlessly across the sea…But judging from how she’d managed to survive the past three days, it seemed death wasn’t coming for her anytime soon. When she was hungry, there were fish to eat. When she was tired, there were “beds” to rest on. If she was lucky, she could even hear dolphins chattering happily. It wasn’t exactly a dull existence.Still, nothing could soothe the ache of her growing longing for Kendrick. Just thinking about how he might not be able to handle losing her left her feeling hollow and in pain.But the moment she saw those two enormous, beautiful tails gliding through the water, everything else faded from her mind. She only wanted to catch up to them.She imagined herself growing fins and scales, swimming faster than she ever had in her life. If Gauge were to race her now, he’d lose without a doubt. She could practically leave

Kendrick told her that he had also prayed to the sea birds, dolphins, and even the sea god.Hearing that, Annabelle's hairs stood on end. At the same time, she felt a bit disappointed."So it wasn’t because I’m amazing... it’s because you are. Whatever you pray for, it just comes true..."Kendrick chuckled, "Then you better stay close to me from now on. If you ever dare run off with some other little guy, don’t blame me if my curses come true."They joked for a while. Looking at Kendrick’s face and listening to his deep, magnetic voice, Annabelle couldn’t help but hug him tightly."I really missed you.""Not as much as I missed you."Annabelle laughed. "Are we really going to compete on that too?"Kendrick nuzzled her cheek, "For you, I was ready to never return to shore. What do you think?"It felt like honey melted in her heart—sweet to the extreme, with a faint touch of sourness. Her eyes went misty.She hugged Kendrick even tighter, feeling like this man had filled every inch of h

“Aren’t you curious why I fell into the sea?” Annabelle asked.Back in the cave on the island, Kendrick hadn’t asked her a single question about it—perhaps because she had been too disoriented at the time. But now that she was mostly recovered and they had talked about so many things, he still hadn’t brought it up. That made her curious.Kendrick wiped his mouth with a napkin, then patted his thigh. “Come sit over here.”Annabelle obediently sat on his lap, resting her hand naturally on his shoulder.Kendrick said, “It’s not exactly a pleasant memory. I figured you wouldn’t want to talk about it, so I didn’t ask. Either way, I already know what happened.”“You do?”There was no surveillance on the yacht, and when she fell into the water, the only one with her was Leo. How could Kendrick know?“Yesterday afternoon, that Leo came to confess.”After Kendrick’s explanation, Annabelle finally understood. Leo had panicked as soon as he heard she’d been found. Realizing the truth would inevi
