Phi-Fic Chapter 295 Bitter Fruit is Still a Fruit
Chapter 295 Bitter Fruit is Still a Fruit
"How is this possible... It was impossible for me to have such a long-term premonition dream at that time..."
Lilith was shocked by Evelin's affirmative tone, and her hair stood on end unconsciously.
"You just said you dreamed of two different research institutes?"
Evelin thought about what to say, quickly piecing together these few words in her mind.
"Yes, but I'm not sure whether it's a hospital or a research institute..."
Lilith murmured as she thought, and suddenly she looked at Evelin with her eyes wide open in shock.
"You mean I changed the fact that you were kidnapped, and this future was also changed!"
"Yes."
Evelin nodded, her eyes filled with gloom. If all this was true, it also meant that they were all playing a chess game.
She had been targeted since she was a child, but the best time to implement the plan was when Huo Wanqing kidnapped her and took her to the research institute a few years ago.
"It all makes sense now. No wonder only the footage from the research institute is unstable and too blurry."
"Because it keeps changing, the timeline has been extended to the present, and it's not like you will be kidnapped by the Hades mercenaries and this will definitely happen in the near future!"
Lilith also understood everything, and she suddenly felt powerless as if she was completely trapped in a huge conspiracy.
"So what happened next in this prophetic dream? What else did you see?"
Evelin raised her eyes again and looked at the worried Lilith.
"Later, I saw that you were kidnapped on a smuggling ship. They locked you in the cabin. I guess the destination should be Hades."
"I can't present the complete dream to you. I can only convey the main content."
Lilith frowned, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"It was indeed a dream I had, but...it finally happened a few days later?"
Evelin’s doubts deepened, and she even wondered if it was too long ago and Lilith remembered it wrongly.
Lilith shook her head slightly and let out a long sigh before speaking.
"I thought it was because I reminded you that you gave up going out after school and took the bus home with your brother."
"And I also took it for granted that I changed your fate and saved you from this terrible experience."
"But, the cabin behind Evelyn will explode... I really don't know..."
At this point, Lilith's mind once again emerged of the time when she watched the cabin being attacked and exploded from Evelyn's perspective.
Countless thick black smoke filled the air and drifted into the closed cabin without any holes.
Evelyn's hands and feet were tied up with cursed ropes, her nose and mouth were sealed, and she watched in despair as the fire gradually spread to her.
It was at this critical moment that Lilith gathered all her last bit of energy and correctly conveyed the location of Evelyn's sea area to the troubled Garland.
She transformed into starlight, leading Garland to the right direction quickly, and found Evelyn who was in a coma and dying.
This was also her only chance to connect with the outside world and have contact with Garland.
It was this incident that completely ignited Garland's anger, making him resolutely decide to retake the underworld and creating his paranoid character of protecting Evelyn.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Lilith never showed Evelyn a precognitive dream again.
"This matter has been stuck in my heart for too many years, and I have always felt very sorry for you."
"My original intention was really to save you. At that time, I no longer regarded you as my substitute, so I tried not only to tell you through dreams. I wanted to connect with the outside world."
"But I really didn't know that the consequences of doing so would lead to a chain reaction that would almost cause you to die in an accident that was originally not a big deal."
As Lilith spoke, the guilty look on her face made people feel distressed.
"These things have nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself."
"After all, what is supposed to happen is bound to happen."
Evelin was stunned for a moment, then spoke softly to comfort Lilith.
"But... I don't know if I should say these words. I have always been curious about you and... Vincent."
"After all these years, he has never completely let you go."
Evelin paused and spoke tentatively. This was her first time to be so close to Lilith, and perhaps it might be the only time.
Watching myself, who was once out of reach, appear beside me.
Lilith was stunned when she heard this. This name that had been buried for many years was painful even to mention.
"It's his character."
As she spoke, Lilith raised a bitter smile at the corner of her lips, and her eyes were filled with pity as if it were real.
Evelyn saw clearly that only Lilith truly felt sorry for Vincent.
"Why are you so obsessed with him? It's obvious that it's absolutely impossible for the two of you to be together under the circumstances."
“A bitter fruit is also a fruit.”
Lilith raised her bright blue eyes to look at Evelyn and answered her.
“Evelyn, I think you should understand me. You don’t need a reason to love someone.”
"When I followed him, I was not the princess of the Lan family, nor was I the heir of the Lan family who was burdened with great responsibility. I had no identity at all. I was just myself, just Lilith who loved Brother Vincent."
"Love is love. I just want to be with him. Even if the whole world disagrees with us, I will not look back."
"Because I know he loves me, too. This reason alone is enough."
"Besides, he needs me. If I give up on him too, wouldn't that be too cruel for him?"
"Everything that happened to him, the tragedy caused by the grudges and disputes of the previous generation, was unfair to him."
Lilith turned her head away, her red eyes and hidden love made her look broken.
"Yeah, everything is unfair to him."
Evelin stopped looking at her, raised her head and sighed, muttering.
"But fortunately, you two have been together, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets of our previous life."
Lilith seemed to have sorted out her emotions. When she said this, there was relief in her tone. The smile at the corner of her lips was faint, but her face was satisfied.
It seemed that everything was over, and Lilith, who had always loved Vincent wholeheartedly, had also become a thing of the past.
"A butterfly flies through a mountain gate, and a boat sails across a mountain."
Lilith gently wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and her light words drifted away with the wind.
Only Evelin, who said this after seeing all that Lilith had been through, could truly understand the indifference of relief and what a huge weight had been let go.
