Chapter 240 Despair

"Christopher..."

Everleigh carefully called his name when she saw that he seemed to be in a trance. 

Then, he came to his senses and avoided her gaze. "Nothing. Who told you that nonsense? What could have happened to me?"

That didn't sound right at all.

Everleigh had known him for seven years, and the relationship between them was even closer than that between family members. She could guess what he was feeling from his actions and gaze. 

There must be something that occurred eight years ago that Christopher refused to tell her about.  

Just as she was about to ask more questions, the sound of an engine came from behind.

Everleigh and Christopher both looked back and saw the black car parked behind Christopher's car. A tall figure came down. He was tall and thin, and his face was as expressionless as the cliff behind them. 

Then, Everleigh's eyes suddenly narrowed.
