Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

Cloud pursed his lips and watched Vicki, motionless, as if he knew what she was going to say next because they understood each other too well. Subconsciously, he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand, but the tighter he held it, the more his hand trembled, and the muzzle kept shaking.

Both Mr. Ball and Luther were nervous at the same time, fearing that the gun might accidentally go off.

At this moment, Vicki took a deep breath, suddenly smiled slightly, her smile filled with infectious warmth.

“Rayan, between us, it’s already in the past. I hope that in my heart, you will always remain as the big brother who loved and protected me. I will always remember your kindness. I know that I owe you, and I won’t be able to repay it in this lifetime. But if there is a next life, we can start over. I will repay you for this debt of mine, in full.”

Upon hearing these words, the light in Cloud’s eyes suddenly faded, like a dying ember.

She had made it clear, it was impossible between them. In her heart, he would always be a brother. If they didn’t want to turn against each other, if they wanted to leave the best memories in her heart, the best course of action was to let go now. Otherwise, with her personality, if he killed Felix, she would eventually follow him in death. His own life didn’t matter, but her life was what he cherished the most.

He had done so much, right or wrong, all for her sake.

In the gentlest way possible, she extinguished the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

It was a silent farewell.

He couldn’t be any clearer about it.

Cloud slowly let go of the gun in his hand, despair evident on his face as his arm fell weakly, eventually dropping the gun to the ground.

Mr. Ball quickly stepped forward and kicked the gun far away.

Everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.

“You go, don’t worry about me,” Cloud said bitterly, closing his eyes in desolation. At this point, he had no other choice. They were the family of three, and he was the surplus one. Since he loved her, why make her regret for a lifetime? One person with a lifetime of regrets was enough. She was right, back then it was his impatience that led him down the wrong path. He should not have joined OGW, ultimately losing himself. It wasn’t her fault, it was his own choice, and he should bear the consequences.

Felix didn’t expect Cloud to back down voluntarily, he was somewhat surprised. Just as he was about to speak, Vicki pulled him back with one arm. She glared at him, silently signaling him not to say anything.

“Thank you, Rayan,” Vicki sincerely said, “I will always remember the love you had for me.”

Felix’s face darkened upon hearing this. His woman, right in front of him, said that she would always remember another man. It was simply testing his patience.

At this moment, Luther spoke, “Rayan, take the USB drive. I won’t hide it from you, the drawings inside are half true and half false, not entirely useful nor entirely useless. There are a few bugs in there, and if the researchers at OGW are skilled enough, they can also crack the bugs. But if they can’t, I can’t help either. However, it won’t take them longer than a week to discover the existence of the bugs. And during this time, it’s enough for you to leave OGW and for OGW to fulfill their promise to you. Besides that, the conditions I mentioned earlier still stand. I will provide you with a set of overseas identities, overseas accounts, and enough money. I guarantee that you will live a safe life for the rest of your days.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

After speaking, Luther directly handed the USB drive to Cloud. This was given to him personally by Joyce, and they had discussed it before. It might not be a bad idea to hand over this USB drive to OGW. Sometimes, throwing out bait could lead to greater gains. They had carefully considered it and decided to give this thing to Cloud.

Cloud looked down at the USB drive in his palm, then suddenly turned away. “Vicki, leave. Before I regret. We…”

He paused, his voice trembling slightly. “We will never see each other again in this lifetime.”

Vicki took a deep breath and responded, “Okay.”

She didn’t say goodbye because he had said they would never see each other again. She didn’t say another word either, which was in line with her usual straightforward style. She held onto Felix and left first, without looking back.

Luther and Mr. Ball exchanged glances, nodding at each other. They would take care of the situation here. Later, they would take Cloudto a safe place and coordinate their story with everyone else. Since they had reached a resolution with Cloud, Luther would naturally keep his promise.

Felix didn’t expect the matter to end like this. He was still a bit dizzy and bewildered, not understanding what had just happened. Cloud had easily given up, even though he had a perfect opportunity to kill him. Was Cloud doing this to help them? For some reason, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, even a tinge of jealousy.

Yes, he was jealous.

Although Vicki didn’t choose to leave with Cloud, he felt a sharp pang in his heart.

As they walked further away, distancing themselves from Mr. Ball, Luther, and Cloud.

Felix couldn’t bear it any longer and questioned, “Vicki, why didn’t you let me speak earlier?”

Vicki turned her head to look at Felix, impatiently saying, “What did you want to say?”

“I…” Felix suddenly faltered. What did he want to say? In that situation just now, what could he possibly say?

Vicki frowned and glared at Felix, “With me here, you don’t need to say anything.”

Felix…”

What does that mean? Does it mean he has no say in the matter?

He grew angry. “Vicki, you almost lost your life along with the child. Is this all you have to say to me now? You didn’t even give me a basic explanation.”

Vicki furrowed her brow. “You don’t look good. Your lips are pale. Have you lost too much blood?”

She suddenly stepped forward, pulling him to her and unbuttoning his shirt, checking him. Then she exclaimed softly, “So much blood is flowing from the wound. Why didn’t you say anything earlier? It could be fatal. No, you must go to the hospital now, immediately.”

“I’m asking you a question! Answer me!” Felix angrily demanded, his voice losing its momentum. In fact, he had lost a lot of blood. The wound had reopened during his confrontation with Cloud, and now he felt extremely cold, so cold that his whole body didn’t feel like his own, and he couldn’t control it. His perfectly shaped thin lips trembled uncontrollably from the cold.

Vicki helplessly said, “I said I would protect you. At any cost! That’s my promise.”

Upon hearing these words, Felix felt like he was about to spit blood. At any cost! Promise! This was her “at any cost.” She was driving him crazy. He had lost too much blood, had no strength left, and her words knocked the wind out of him. He directly fainted in her arms.

Vicki caught him, seeing him unconscious, and anxiously shouted, “Felix, Felix, wake up! Don’t fall asleep! Wake up!”
