My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2694

"Do you blame me?" Fogort asked.

Tamsine shook her head gently and said, "How could I? If it weren't for you, I would've died long ago."

Fogort replied nonchalantly, "I didn't do anything. If you need that power, I'll give it back to you."

"No need. The power of those dead cultivators has returned to my body, so consider that share of power as my gift to you, Mr. Maguire."

Fogort’s expression was blank. His eyes were evasive, as if he was afraid of something. He said, "Alright, I'm leaving."

Just as Fogort turned around to leave, Tamsine grabbed his arm just like that time in the villa.

This time, Fogort did not push Tamsine's arm away. He had his back to her and dared not look into her eyes.

Tamsine boldly expressed how she felt and said, "Actually, I had always known that those people were plotting against me. So, I lived very cautiously every day.

"I had already woken up after the operation yesterday, but I was still terrified. I was afraid that I would cause a disaster again, so I just thought it was better to play dead. If I pretended to be a vegetable, then I wouldn't have to worry about those things anymore. I was ready to let all those disputes go.

"But… I heard your voice. I realized there were still people who cared about me and cared whether I was dead or alive. Because of you, I had the courage to open my eyes. Fogort… No, Aubrey… Can we…"

There was deep yearning on Tamsine's face. At this moment, she wanted badly for Fogort to turn around and look at her, even for a brief moment. As long as he could accept her, she would have the motivation to continue living.

Suddenly, Fogort was in a dilemma.

He was a Path master from Goodspear Mountain. He should not and could not be tainted with the desires of the secular world.

However, Tamsine was begging him to stay. At the same time, he could also clearly see her fate.

Those caring words sent warmth to Tamsine’s heart as she threw herself into Fogort’s arms.

She said, "Thank you, thank you.”

"This is the time you should say you love me instead of words of thanks," Fogort teased her softly.

Tamsine's eyes became even more teary when he said that. She responded, "Oh, okay..."

…

As the sun set, Thresmund and the rest took Sidney back to the villa.
