Layla opened her eyes. She was surrounded by endless darkness. There was only a small amount of light in the far distance.

The howling wind beside her ears was mixed with a few angry roars that came from somewhere unknown. Layla was terrified, but she tried her best to run toward the light.

​ 

However, her legs suddenly stopped moving.

Layla lowered her head and saw that she was actually standing in a lake. Below her, Andre was supporting her with all his might!

Behind him were countless people, which made for a grand sight. Layla could not tell if they were humans or ghosts, but all of them reached out their hands to pull Andre into the water.

Layla woke up with a start; even the top of her head was covered in cold sweat.

Upon seeing the familiar layout and the smell of disinfectant in her nostrils, Layla let out a sigh of relief. That was just a dream.

Layla wanted to get up, but she realized there was no one beside her. Where was Andre? Where had Uncle gone?

When she woke up and did not see Andre nearby, an indescribable bitterness and grief welled in Layla’s heart.

It would be great if Uncle could watch over her steadfastly in reality as he had in her dream.

The tearing pain coming from her wound magnified the grievance in Layla’s heart again.

In any case, she was injured because she had saved him. Where exactly had this ungrateful uncle gone?!

Layla picked up her cell phone at the head of the bed and called Andre.

The phone rang five or six times. Just when Layla thought that Andre would not answer, his magnetic voice came from the other end of the line.

“Uncle…” Layla thought that she was strong enough, but she was already sobbing when she called him “Uncle”, this title that belonged exclusively to Andre.

“Uncle, where did you go?” Layla asked as she sniffled. The grievance and pitiful tone in her voice would make the hearts of others tremble.

Let alone Andre, who loved Layla!

Andre felt terrible. How much he wanted to dash back to Layla’s side and guard her at this moment when she needed him the most!

However, he could not.

“I’m having dinner with Catherine,” Andre said as calmly as he could.

“Since you’re awake, rest well. Catherine and I have already informed the hospital to arrange the best nursing team for you.” After saying that, Andre wanted to hang up.

“Uncle! My wound hurts, and so does my heart. Can you come to the hospital to see me?”

“No, I can’t. I told you I’m having dinner with Catherine.” Andrew’s heart ached so much that he really wanted to end the call immediately.

Upon hearing Andree’s unhesitating rejection, Layla could not control her tears anymore and they streamed down in an instant.

She took a deep breath and said, “Uncle, I’ve been with you for a long time. Don’t you have the slightest bit of feelings for me at all? Uncle, have you forgotten about that unforgettable and beautiful night we had…”

Layla did not want to believe such a cruel truth. Andre had clearly been so gentle.

“Shut up!” Andre still did not know that Catherine had installed surveillance cameras. He was afraid that she would not let Layla off even more after finding out that they had been intimate.

“Layla, listen to me. I took care of you only because you’re young and due to my relationship with your father. I’ve never had any romantic feelings for you. That night, I was just playing around on an act of impulse. In short, I, Andre, have never loved you!”

Then, Andre hung up the call resolutely.

Because he really did not want to hear Layla weep broken-heartedly again.

He was afraid that if he continued listening, he would lose control and smash the head of this woman directly in front of him!

As she listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Layla did not know what she was feeling. She only felt like a big hole had split open in her chest and cold water was being pumped inside. It was excruciatingly painful.

Layla could not help but shiver. She reached out to touch her face, which was ice-cold and full of tears.

Uncle, why are you treating me like this? You’re so… so heartless!

So this was the feeling of not being able to get the love one wanted!

Andre’s every word was like a knife that stabbed her chest ferociously.

Her heart ached so much. It really hurt.
