Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me

Chapter 323 She died!

The sky had already darkened, and everywhere was pitch black.

Audrey couldn't see the end.

Sterling felt Audrey's physical decline and stopped, his voice h 0a rse as he asked, “Do you still have strength?”

Audrey nodded obediently.

Sterling nodded and continued swimming forward with her.

Audrey didn’t know how long she had been swimming, but she felt like her limbs were no longer her own. However, she wasn’t as scared as before.

Watching the man who had always been with her, a warm feeling of emotion overflowed in her chest.

Although they could no longer be together, he still treated her so well.

She could appear promptly when she encountered danger.

Originally, he didn’t have to face such danger, but for her, he still came over without hesitation!

Audrey swam for another distance and felt her strength gradually waning.

the strongest person couldn't endure it!

Audrey's swimming speed noticeably decreased.

Sterling stopped and said to Audrey in a h oar se voice, “Hold me.”

Audrey's heart ski pped a beat. “No, | would bring trouble to you.”

Sterling grabbed Audrey's hand and pulled her close to him, silencing any objections she might have had. “I won't leave you behind,” he said.

Once, he had abandoned her!

He had told himself that no matter what happened in the future, he would never leave her again.

Due to the grudges of the previous generation, he was unable to confront their feelings for each other, and both of them were trapped in a deadlock.

He first realized that being alive was more agonizing and painful than being dead.

What he could do for her now was to let her live well.

Audrey didn’t want to be a burden to Sterling, but she could only rely on him to move forward.

He kept asking her to hold him and dragged his heavy body forward while swimming.

There was not a single complaint, nor a trace of impatience.

After a while, Audrey saw an island.

Aglimmer of light appeared in her dim eyes.

“Sterling, | saw hope-”

Audrey hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly a big wave crashed

over.

She and Sterling were forced to separate, and she was swept away by the waves. Just before losing consciousness, she heard ah oar se shout. “Audrey!”

Russell swam over with Sterling and Audrey

When he swam to the small island. Sterling was washed up onto the beach by the big waves.

He walked over and kicked Sterling's tall body

Sterling coughed a few times. spat out some seawater. and slowly regained consciousness.

Before her eyes were fully open, she grabbed Russell’s hand and exclaimed. “Audra!”

Russell ruthlessly shook off Sterling's hand. wiped the water droplets off his face, and gloomily said. “She's dead!”

Sterling suddenly opened his eyes and saw the person standing in front. of him was not Audrey, but Russell. His face turned slightly cold, and he clenched his fists tightly. He stood up from the beach and grabbed Russell by the collar. “What the hell did you say?”

Russell shook off Sterling's hand. Both of them were exhausted and had no energy to fight anymore. Pushing and shoving each other, they took a few steps back and ended up sitting on the beach in a disheveled state:

Russell gasped for breath, his face looking rather grim. “I searched around, but couldn’t find her anywhere. If she’s not dead. then what do

you think happened?”

Upon hearing Russell’s words. Sterling felt an unprecedented sense of fear and panic spreading from deep within his heart. Ignoring his physical exhaustion, he stood up from the beach and took a few steps forward. He then turned back and glanced at Russell, saying. “If she is really dead. | want you to accompany her in burial!”

Russell smiled and tugged at the corner of his lips, “Well, then we'll see if you have what it takes!”

Sterling clenched his fists tightly, and his joints creaked.

He walked along the beach, searching for Audrey’s footsteps.

He dared not imagine what had really happened to her, his mind was even blank.

His eyes were bloodshot as he kept shouting her name. “Audrey, Audrey—”

Audrey seemed to have had a very long dream.

She dreamt of her past life’s death, where Sterling lay in a crystal coffin and drank a deadly poison.

Seeing the fresh blood slowly trickling down from the corner of his mouth, she felt her heart being twisted like a knife. “Don't... Don't...”

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, “Don’t die, please, don’t die—”

When Sterling found Audrey, she seemed to be trapped in a nightmare.

Her facial features were tightly wrinkled, tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, she looked extremely distressed. Sterling forcefully embraced her, his eyes bloodshot with crimson veins. “You won't die, don’t be afraid.”

Hearing Sterling's deep and h o arse voice, Audrey suddenly opened her long eyelashes and looked at the young man in front of her. Her nose tingled, and she reached out her hands and tightly embraced him.

After an unknown amount of time had passed. Audrey gradually came back to her senses and lifted her head from Sterling’s embrace.

Looking at his dark eyebrows and deep features, her long eyelashes trembled.

Fortunately, they were all still alive!

She pursed her lips and broke free from his embrace.

Sterling wanted to pull her into his arms again, but halfway through reaching out, he withdrew his hand.

“We didn’t know when the rain would stop, so we found a place to

take shelter!”

Audrey nodded. “Okay.”

The island had never been developed and was quite desolate. The two of them searched for half an hour and found a cave. “| went in first, afraid that there might be snakes, insects, mice, ants, or something like that inside.”

Sterling took out a lighter from his pocket. His lighter was waterproof

and could ignite a fire.

After Sterling went in and tidied up the hole, he said to Audrey. “Come in!”

Audrey bent down and entered the cave.

When she was washed ashore by the big waves, she bumped into a sharp rock and got a cut on her left shoulder.

Bending down into the cave, she accidentally grazed her wound, causing her to gasp in pain.

“Are you hurt?” Sterling keenly noticed that Audrey was not feeling well.

Audrey shook her head. “Just a minor injury.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Sterling walked up to Audrey, a faint smell of blood wafting to his nostrils. He raised his slender hand, intending to undo Audrey's clothes.

Audrey quickly stopped his action, her lips moved slightly. “Go ahead. sir!”

Sterling saw Audrey's face turn pale, her lips slightly bluish. He did not force her to undress any further. Instead, he picked up some dry firewood inside the cave and built a bonfire.

After the fire was lit, the two sat facing each other.

Sterling noticed her complexion worsening and walked over to her side. “Let me take a look at your wound,” he said.

“| just got hit by a stone, but it’s nothing serious.”

“Your face has turned so pale, are you alright?” Sterling stood up with

a gloomy expression. “I'll go outside and see if there are any anti- inflammatory herbs.”

Without waiting for Audrey to say anything, Sterling quickly walked

away.

Audrey lacked the strength to call out to Sterling. She was both tired. and weak, her whole body seemed to have reached its limit.
