The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1677

Vivian had never been so scared before.

If she were to fall into the swamp underneath, she'd definitely be dead. But I came to Styx Forestprepared! I've done my research on toxic air and swamps in the area!

She never expected things to turn out the way they did.

Vivian's mind blanked out.

That was until she heard an erratic roar over her head. She opened her eyes in fear and saw a bright,pale gold figure. It was as if the figure had descended from heaven and dashed toward her like agust of strong wind

Vivian was dumbfounded.

The person held onto her and pulled her forcefully into his embrace. Up until then, she was still inbafflement. It was as if her mind had stopped working. Why is he here?

Finally, she was saved. Kurt couldn't be bothered by anything else as he anxiously checked her bodyupon landing on the ground. With a trembling voice, he asked, “Is everything okay? Are you allright?”

He was terrified. What would have happened to her if I were late? Will I ever get to see her again?He gradually tightened his grip on her slender wrist. At that moment, he couldn't hide his emotionsanymore. A look of panic filled his dazzling face, and even his body was trembling.

Vivian was a little stunned.

She watched as Kurt kept lowering his gaze to check on her well-being. He's no longer cold anddistant like he was before. Heck, I can even see how nervous he is.

Vivian remained silent for a while before muttering, “I'm fine...”

Finally, she had spoken. Her eyes were reddened. After having experienced such a terrifyingincident, she finally managed to calm herself down. She could barely control her emotions when shesaw how much Kurt cared for her. I thought he was ignoring me? I thought he has forgotten aboutme? Why did he come and save me when he has been so cold toward me? Why does he care aboutme that much?

Vivian stole a glance at him and noticed he wasn't the same as before. Instead, he was carefullychecking her body to see if she was hurt. In fact, the worried and concerned look on his face didn'tlook like he was faking it.

Suddenly, her heart started racing. “Kurt?”

Kurt raised his gaze and saw Vivian raising her hand and reaching for his head.

It was pin-drop silence at the scene.

At that moment, it felt as if time had stopped while the air had frozen.

Kurt stared blankly at her while she put her hand on his cheek.

In fact, that was what Vivian used to do all the time. He was brought to Oceanic Estate when theywere still little, and Vivian had always been a love-struck fool over him. She'd always drool whenevershe saw him.

Besides, touching his cheeks was one of her favorite things to do.

Back then, her mother would always remind her that her action was rude and inappropriate.However, her mother's words never worked. She'd always do that to him until she went to Yartran tostudy. Perhaps, she had grown up by then and realized how inappropriate her actions were.

Since then, she never touched him again.

Until now...

In that foggy jungle, Vivian had teary eyes and a pitiful expression when she asked, “Kurt? You stillcare about me, right? You still remember me, right?” She stared at that dazzling face in her palmand felt like they had gone back to the time when they were still little.

Kurt kept silent.

At that moment, a hard realization dawned upon him, and he felt as if something had just struck hishead forcefully.

He lowered his gaze and stayed still. However, one could see his fingers turning pale upon a closerlook. Besides, his face surged with thoughts and emotions. I've lost my self-control!

Kurt shut his eyes tightly for a moment and then opened them to reveal a cold glint in his eyes.

He then gradually let go of his hand and pulled himself out of Vivian's hopeful and excited gaze.“What are you talking about? I was just performing my duty,” he said.

"What?" Vivian froze. Duty?

She lowered her gaze to look at her other hand, which had lost the warmth from touching him.After that, she raised her gaze in disbelief at the Kurt who had stood up and moved away from her.“Don't you understand, Princess? You're one of the Jadesons. If something were to happen to youhere, wouldn't your dad raze this place to the ground?” He shifted his cold gaze toward her faceagain.

Just like that, he had gone back to becoming that cold and unapproachable person. It was as if itwas a different person who had saved her earlier.

Upon hearing that, Vivian's face went pale again.

Vivian was filled with utter disappointment and sorrow while looking at him. As despair filled herheart, she had no words to describe how she felt. Instead, she could only let tears stream down herface as she stared at him.

Right then, Matteo had finally found her. “Vivi!” he shouted when he saw the both of them there.After that, he started rushing toward them.

Vivian turned toward the voice the moment she heard it. When she saw it was her brother, she'dfinally lost it and burst into tears.

“Matt, I want to go home.” Vivian just kept sobbing.q
