NOVEL WEB Chapter 177: Cold night
"Do you think we are going to get out of here?" Natasha looked at Yohan as she said those words.
Yohan tilted his head towards Natasha as she was sitting beside him and looking at him. He smiled at her while looking into her deep blue eyes.
"We will definitely leave this place together. There are people who are waiting for me outside and I can't break their hearts," Yohan responded to Natasha as he said those words.
Yohan's words were carrying determination. Hearing those words, Natasha smiled at him.
"You mean that lady Diya is waiting for you outside, or lady Jasmine?" she asked as she looked at him and she continued while looking towards the bonfire.
"I don't know lady Diya personally, but lady Jasmine is a beautiful woman and she likes you, judging by the way she looks at you. I wonder what she will be doing after your disappearance. She must be worried about you." Natasha said those words in a low voice.
Yohan became a little bit surprised as those words were coming from Natasha's mouth and her voice was a little bit shaky as she brought up Jasmine.
Yohan smiled and looked towards Natasha.
"Well, she is just like Diya, probably blaming herself, but in the end, I am grateful that we could save Neena and old Lee," Yohan responded to Natasha.
"It's not us. You are the one who saved those two and killed that guy. I still can't believe that you killed him." She tilted her head towards Yohan and said those words.
"I am thankful for you, that you were there with me that time and came to me the moment I was about to fall. I didn't know that despite hating me for what I did to your mother when I was a kid, you would still come for me," Yohan said as he looked towards Natasha with a bitter smile on his face.
Natasha raised her head towards him as she heard those words.
"I don't hate you for what you did to my mother in the past, because you were still a kid at that time. And that's my duty as a soldier of the Lin clan: to protect the man in command. After all, I pledged my loyalty to the Lin clan." Natasha looked at Yohan as she responded to him but Yohan's next words caught her off guard.
"I am sorry for what I did to your mother. The truth is that I don't have any memories of my childhood and my past. Due to an unfortunate encounter with a lightning strike, I lost my past memories, and at that time I didn't know how to react when you told me about your mother.
If I get a chance, I want to meet her personally and ask her for her forgiveness." Yohan looked towards Natasha as he said those words.
Natasha turned silent as she looked towards Yohan who was sitting beside her, looking towards her. She lost her words after hearing him. His eyes were telling the truth as she looked at him, and she recalled the incident when she heard that Yohan was in an accident but survived. She had thought that it was just a story, but now she learned the truth.
"She is no more. She passed away seven years ago due to an illness." Natasha took a sigh as she said those words and her facial expressions became stiff as she thought about her mother.
"I am sorry. You lived a hard life and I respect you for being a woman who fights for herself and reached the place where you are now," he responded.
Natasha nodded her head and smiled bitterly.
"It's okay. You know, Yohan, my father and mother always wanted a son, but unfortunately they ended up having me. I didn't get any attention from my father but my mother accepted me. I worked very hard and trained very hard because I thought that if I awakened any talent in cultivation, I might gain the attention of my father and the unfortunate day came when I turned ten years old.
I was excited and thought I might awaken some talent in cultivation, but the moment I took the test, everything was finished, because I am not fortunate enough to have those attributes to become a cultivator. At that moment, my father totally disowned me." Tears started rolling from her eyes as she opened up to Yohan about her past life.
But the next moment she felt a hand on her right shoulder and she tilted her head and looked towards Yohan with those wet eyes. Yohan smiled as he wiped the tears from her face.
Natasha's face turned red as she felt the touch of his warm hand. She looked at the cloak as it was too long for her. Then she hesitantly raised her head and looked towards him.
"Come inside this cloak. This thing is very big and it will cover us both. Don't try to act stronger. I can see that you are also feeling cold and the temperature is dropping outside. The fire is almost about to disappear." Natasha slightly bent towards Yohan as she looked at him while saying those words. She was still feeling cold despite wearing that cloak.
Yohan took a moment and looked at her face. He didn't feel like rejecting her because he knew that her body was not going to stand against these cold temperatures.
"Come here, you don't have to make those excuses. You are still cold," Yohan said and the next moment his hand went across Natasha's shoulders and he took her near him and covered Natasha and his own body with that cloak.
Natasha's heart started beating faster and louder as Yohan's hand was on her left shoulder, and his hand was warm. Her body temperature suddenly rose drastically as she was very close to him. She raised her head and looked towards his face with a blissful expression on her face.
"Can I put my head on your chest?" she asked in a low voice.
