C128 But I Don't Love You Anymore.

"...Uh, mm ~"

The warm touch made Lydia suddenly come back to her senses.

With Reece's enlarged face in front of her, she was so shocked that she raised her hand to push him away.

However, her hand was gripped by Reece. She could not move at all. The girl was so anxious that she turned her face away from him. "Reece, don't forget that you promised me not to have any physical contact with me!"

"Yeah, I remember."

"Since you remember, why are you still..."

Reece lowered his eyes and glanced at the angry girl in his arms. He explained slowly, "The rules are set by me, and others have to abide by them."

"???"

"It was set by others, so it's up to them to decide what they want."

He was clearly trying to argue that he had broken his promise, yet he still said that it was reasonable!

Lydia's face darkened. She turned her face away and ignored him.

While they were in a stalemate, her hands were being rubbed by the man.

The girl felt mixed emotions as she felt the warmth.

Lydia's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but feel her heart fluttering in her chest. She had never expected that this man would be so gentle.

She had died once, and she no longer had the same obsession with him.

Her heart, which was covered in wounds, no longer dared to touch the word 'love'.

Even though she knew clearly what he was thinking about her, her heart was still calm.

After a long while, Lydia said in a deep voice, "Reece, I don't love you anymore."

"..."

Because of one sentence, the two of them fell into silence. Lydia thought that this time, he would definitely stop when he was right.

Although it might hurt a little for Reece, it was still better than letting it go.

This was the best ending for both of them.

Since she had already spoken, she did not want to give Reece any more fantasies.

She forcefully pulled herself out of his arms and said, "I can do it now. Let's go down the mountain."

However, when her legs touched the ground, she tried to stand up, but her numb legs didn't have any strength to support her. Instead, she fell into the snow.

Luckily, Reece reacted quickly and reached out to hold her. She didn't fall down.

"Lydia, your body has not fully recovered yet, so you can't walk." Reece carried her up and gently placed her under the tree. He squatted in front of her and said, "Before that, I'll carry you down the mountain."

"..."

Reece patted the back of his hand and motioned for her to come up.

Lydia weighed the pros and cons and decided to do it. "...Sorry for troubling you."

"..."

The man lowered his eyes and carried her up.

Because she could not see Reece's face, Lydia naturally did not notice the pain in his eyes.

As if he was afraid of awkwardness, or perhaps because he really had nothing to say, the two of them maintained their silence and walked down the mountain with the cold wind.

The two of them went up the hill and walked across the small mound to the wide road.

After walking for a long time, the man's pace slowed down.

Naturally, she could feel the strain on her back.

"Reece, let's rest for a while..."

"Sixth Bro!"

Before she could finish her sentence, a voice interrupted her.

Lydia looked over and saw Loran rushing over with some people.

After being trapped for so long, the corner of Lydia's mouth could not help but curl up. "Reece, look! Loran and the others are here. We have hope!"

Reece nodded. He still protected her tightly, afraid that she would fall from his back.

Loran walked up to her and reached out to pick her up.

However, just as he raised his hand, he felt a cold knife that was filled with a strong warning.

Cough.

He didn't want to touch her. Sixth Bro, please don't be so fierce.

Loran sensibly retracted his hand and waved at the people behind him. "Quick, get the stretcher ready."

When the stretcher arrived, the C醋王. Reece's eyes softened.

He bent down and gently placed the girl on the stretcher. When he got up, his vision darkened and he felt dizzy.

However, he still managed to steady his footsteps in front of the girl, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

When Lydia was carried out of the hole, the corner of Reece's mouth rose into a straight line, and his footsteps swayed.

Loran, who was standing beside him, quickly grabbed his arm. "Sixth Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"That woman has gone far. Don't push yourself too hard!" He had already lost his balance and was unable to stand, yet he still insisted that he was fine.

'Is this what you call fine?'

'It's fine. If you have the ability, why don't you just stand there and let me take a look?'

Suppressing his anxiety, Loran glanced at his Sixth Brother's legs. "It's just a woman. Is it worth it for you to sacrifice your life?"

"It's worth it."

Reece spat out two words, but it made Loran so angry that he clenched his teeth. "..."

"When you fall in love with someone, you'll know whether it's worth it or not."

"Forget it. Feelings are too dangerous. I better not experience it."

Loran shrugged and put his arm on his shoulder. He held him up and chased after him.

...

After the two of them went down the mountain, they were sent to a nearby hospital for a checkup.

After a series of complicated scans and tests, the two of them sat in the doctor's office and waited for the results.

"From the results of the examination, the situation is still optimistic. Both of you have different degrees of frostbite. Miss Ellis is in a worse condition. Her waist has been injured and there is blood on it. She needs to be admitted to the hospital for treatment," the doctor said as he picked up a pen and handed it to Lydia. "Take this and go to the sixth floor to apply for the hospitalization procedures."

"Isn't it necessary to be admitted to the hospital?" Lydia looked at the list and hesitated. "Can you prescribe some medicine? I have something to do and need to take a flight."

"But you can't even walk now. Why don't you just push it?"

"Life is at stake!" Lydia shook her head and discussed with the doctor, "I can sit in a wheelchair."

"This..."

"Drink the medicine." Suddenly, Reece, who had been sitting next to her, spoke up.

The doctor shrugged and compromised.

After taking the medicine, Lydia rushed to the airport without stopping.

Because she was worried, she called Eliza on the way.

"Mom, how is my dad?"

Eliza glanced at the unconscious Benny in the intensive care unit and forced down her tears as she smiled and replied, "Your father, he... is very good. Don't worry, Reece has hired the best doctor to connect your father's bones. Your father is now asleep."

Lydia's eyes reddened as she listened to her mother's forced calmness. "..."

Reece: "..."

"Mom, Lydia knows the truth." In the end, the man still broke the silence.

After a few seconds, a sobbing sound came from the other end of the phone.

Although the voice was soft, she could still hear it.

She quickly said, "Mom, Dad will be fine. I'll go back right now."

"Okay..." Eliza wiped her tears and nodded. However, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "Lydia, your second uncle brought a few directors here today and insisted on me signing a contract. He asked your second uncle to temporarily manage the company. Do you think I should sign it?"

"No!"

"But... they said that they would come back in the afternoon. It seems like they are very serious."

"Mom, remember not to sign it. No matter what they say, don't listen to them. I'll deal with it when I get back."

"Alright."

After talking to Eliza, Lydia hung up the phone with a cold expression on her face.

Sure enough, her second uncle's family had started to take action.

In the face of benefits, blood ties were useless, and people's hearts were even more unpredictable!

Since they were not benevolent, then don't blame her for being unrighteous.

This time, she would clean up the house for the Ellis family.
