Chapter 174
However, Helen had been completely focused on her studies back then and was not interested in relationships…
Chris flashed a tender smile just then, “Long time no see, Helen.
His eyes were ablaze even as he looked at Helen–he was really in love with her back then.
However, despite his intentions to confess after graduation, his family was very poor and he was shocked to find out that Helen got married.
He had to give up on her for his career and was surprised to meet her again when he returned to the country years later.
“L–Long time no see…” Helen muttered awkwardly–to think that they would meet again under such circumstances.
On the other hand, Gina was looking at Chris gratefully. “We owe you so much for today… God knows what would’ve happened to Helen if not for you. I don’t know how to thank you!”
Chris chuckled. “It’s nothing. We go way back–helping out is just right.”
“Yes, yes, yes… Honestly, academics like you are simply different.” Gina giggled, delighted. However, Helen was frowning as she asked Gina, “Where’s Frank?”
“Frank? What about Frank?”
“I remember Frank saving me…” Helen explained, since she clearly saw Frank’s silhouette before he passed out, but was nowhere to be seen.
Gina snorted in disdain. “Did you hit your head too hard? Chris was the one who brought you here that lowlife never showed his face!”
Peter nodded repeatedly beside her. “Yeah. We never saw that bastard.‘
Helen turned toward Chris and asked, “Did you see him? He’s tall and a little on the slender side.”
Chris quickly shook his head. “Nope.”
“What?” Helen was baffled. “Then did you save me from Sean’s mansion?”
Chris was stumped for a moment but soon replied without flinching, “Yeah. There wasn’t anyone else there.”
He remembered how disappointed he was after finding out that Helen was married–and to a penniless bum at that!
He could go crazy with jealousy back then. They both had nothing, so why did that other man get Helen?!
In fact, he was convinced it was fate that he could see Helen again.
It was why he lied–he refused to lose her again!
On the other hand, Helen was frowning in thought, which hurt her head. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Seeing that, Gina promptly snapped, “You’ve really hit your head hard. If Frank had saved you, he would be here bragging about it. But he’s not here!”
“Yeah.” Peter nodded. “You must be misremembering.”
Helen hung her head, flustered. “Maybe.”
She was definitely thinking about Frank just before she passed out, and it might have been her imagination.
Chris then suggested, “By the way, the doctors said your concussion isn’t that serious, and you can be discharged once you wake up. I live just nearby–why not stay the night?”
“There aren’t any residential areas nearby, are there?” Gina asked, not keen on the idea. “We should just head home…”
“Of course there is,” Chris said flatly. “Skywater Bay is basically next door.”
“What? You live in Skywater Bay?!” Gina exclaimed.
