Chaplain!

Chapter 1294: Chapter 1291

“Tap, tap, tap…”

And then, when hurried footsteps echoed through the narrow corridor…

Jessica Wright could hardly believe this was real, for she recognized this breath!

It absolutely belonged to that man!

She wanted to stand up, but her body had already frozen stiff, so after struggling for a moment, she fell back onto the icy surface.

Did she want to see him?

Of course, she did!

She dreamed of it!

But when Oliver Walker’s figure entered her vision, she suddenly became much calmer!

She forcefully suppressed her emotions and remained as aloof as ever, keeping others at a distance with her icy demeanor!

“Girl!”

When he saw the girl, Oliver Walker lost control of his emotions!

He saw the girl who had silently given everything for him, without ever offering an explanation, even wishing for death, lying on the ground wrapped in frost…

He felt a sting at the tip of his nose, and tears gushed down!

And Jessica Wright, who had intended to remain indifferent, upon hearing that familiar ‘girl’…

Her frosted eyelashes clearly trembled!

The emotions in her heart shattered like a breached dam!

She longed to rush into those arms…

She longed to express her grievances…

To tell the man how much she loved him!

But in the end, she still controlled herself and responded coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Yet her voice trembled with the shakiness of emotional collapse!

“I’ve come to apologize!”

Oliver Walker, as if driven mad, channeled the inner Qi within his organs into the katana, and with a swoop at the shackles, there was a loud ‘bang’, and the chains fell to the ground!

Then he threw the katana on the ground, rushed forward, and embraced Jessica Wright’s icy body!

The moment he touched her, he felt that the power of the bitter cold had invaded Jessica Wright’s body, bringing all her functions to the edge of death.

“Why be so foolish?”

“Why torture yourself like this?”

“Don’t you know that someone is still worried about you?”

Oliver Walker cried out with tears brimming in his eyes, and the inner Qi that had already been greatly depleted burst forth again, transforming into a gentle warmth to thaw the frozen delicate body!

He had never, from beginning to end, hated the girl!

Even the last time, when the girl truly struck to end his life, he believed it to be justified.

If not for his careless promises, she wouldn’t have been driven to such extremes.

She wouldn’t have been tormented by her heart demon to the point of pain worse than death, wishing for death itself!

“Let me go…”

The girl’s body trembled as she resisted, “I don’t need your kindness, let me go now…”

Although…

This moment, she felt the bliss of the past!

A happiness she had never known since growing up!

But she dared not linger, dared not long for it!

Even more, she dared not fantasize about possessing it!

She was not worthy!

“Girl!”

Oliver Walker said in a low voice, filled with remorse, “I’m sorry!”

“If I had known the truth, I never would have let you go!”

In that moment, his heart was filled with guilt.

Perhaps Jessica Wright would never understand how her actions had hit him in a soft spot!

In his life, he feared nothing, not dragon pools nor tiger dens, not even Asura’s purgatory.

No matter the dangers he faced, he was willing to face them all!

Except for the inability to accept owing someone!

Jessica Wright suddenly stopped crying, and quietly, so quietly, she felt the warmth emanating from the man…

She said nothing!

Maybe she didn’t know what to say!

Oliver Walker took a deep breath, “I know you hate me, but even if you do, why torture yourself?”

“I can’t give you perfection, so why do you stubbornly chase after it?”

“The world is vast, you shouldn’t do it for my sake, it’s not worth it!”

This heart demon was something all ancient martial artists feared the most.

Including him, who would rather endure a thousand cuts than let a heart demon take root!
