Chapter 525

I shook my head hastily, “No, I didn’t know. I only found out when I came here that I met you guys in this small town back then, and your house is so close to my grandmother’s house.”
Reynaldo stared at me without blinking, his dark eyes making me feel at little uneasy.
held his arm and softened my voice, “Reynaldo, what’s wrong with you? Do you not like me going out alone with Anton?”
I won’t go out with him in the future, okay? Please don’t be angry.
“By the way, how is your injury? How could you just run out of the hospital like that?”
I said, and then I pulled open his clothes, anxiously to see his wound.
Fortunately, this time the wound did not open up, and the gauze was wrapped up nicely.
Why did he come here instead of staying in the hospital and resting properly with such serious injuries?
Is it because you are worried about us?
Just then, Reynaldo suddenly nudged me slightly.
His voice was cold and deep, with a touch of self–mockery: “Do you know how many times you just called Anton’s name in your dream?”
I was stunned, instantly recalling the scene in my dream.

I hurriedly explained, “That’s because… ”
“I never knew that Anton was so important to you.”
I had just started speaking when Reynaldo interrupted me.
Although he was smiling, his face was filled with sadness: “Even though you haven’t remembered that memory, but you see, deep down you still care about him.”
In the past it was Winston, now it is Anton, in your dreams, it seems like I have never been there.
Still, I never really entered your heart.
The so–called ‘liking‘ is just because I risked my life to save you, and you are grateful.”
“No!”
I anxiously denied, “Reynaldo, don’t overthink like this, okay?”
I said, “I have always liked only you, only you, why do you always have to overthink it.”
“That’s because you have said countless times that you hate me, you disgust me.
Reynaldo suddenly let out a low growl, his chest slightly heaving, hist eyes crimson, his expression both sorrowful and self–deprecating.
I was sincerely worried and afraid that you would remember your past with him, and th
your so–called liking would transfer to him.
But actually, without having to remember, he was always in your dreams.
Esmeralda, I suddenly felt tired…”

Upon hearing his last sentence, I felt a sudden panic in my heart.
“Reynaldo…”
I grabbed his arm.
He withdrew his hand coldly.
He stood up and laughed at himself, saying, “I really shouldn’t have followed you. He was the person you liked the most when you were young. How can I compare to him when we return to this familiar place?”
“It’s not like that, you misunderstood,” I said helplessly, feeling quite powerless in my heart.
I never knew that Reynaldo’s heart was so sensitive.
“Do you know what it feels like in my heart when you keep calling Anton’s name over and over again in your dream?”
Reynaldo looked at me calmly, but the smile at the corner of his lips was so desolate that it made my heart tighten.
He said, “I have been looking forward to hearing you say my name, even just once, but I never heard ‘Reynaldo‘ until you woke up.”
Esmeralda, don’t deceive yourself, I don’t need your ‘grateful kind of liking‘ either.
“You have always wanted the freedom, and now I give it to you.”
He finished–speaking, gave me a deep look, and then walked out.
I was completely panicked and hurriedly got out of bed to chase after him.
