Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1478

Back in the hallway, Bella felt rather frustrated at Presley, who had unconditionally defended her previously.

Although her spiritual energy was limited, she didn't expect to be defeated by a mere powerful ghost. Presley's actions before resembled proof that she was fragile and in need of protection.

She didn't like it, but at the same time, she felt an odd stir in her heart. Now, it appeared he wasn't trying to protect her but… the owner of her face.

Bella's gaze turned cold as she said expressionlessly, "I don't, so please stop bugging me."

She lifted her leg and sidestepped past him, walking away.

Presley seemed to be in disbelief as he stared at her. He parted his lips, wanting to say more, but eventually let her off.

He thought, "Maybe she actually doesn't remember me. I can't blame her, though. When I left to go abroad, she was only 13 years old. I guess I'd been the only one thinking about her all these years."

When he was hospitalized for heart disease, she would come to talk to him every day. As his heart gradually failed, leaving him to wait for death, it was her who insisted on staying by his side, trying to cheer him up.

Later, her parents died in a car accident. And he, fortunately, survived thanks to her father's heart.

She had no idea that her father's heart was beating inside his chest, but he remembered his promise to take care of her in place of her parents.

When he returned to the country, however, all he heard was that she had been adopted. After that, they lost all contact.

It wasn't until the production crew sent him the information of the cast members that he saw her again. Although she had changed her name, he recognized her at first glance and knew she was the one he had been looking for.

That said… Her transformation had been drastic. What had she been through all these years for her to turn out like this?
