Chapter 947
Quinn saw Alexander staring at her.
In the water, she couldn't remember her feelings for him, just a sense of familiarity.
He leaned in and kissed her.
For a moment, she felt a breath that wasn't from the sea, reigniting the pain in her lungs.
Instinctively, she clung to Alexander, drawing in the air that eased her pain.
She lost track of what she was doing, driven purely by instinct.
After some time, a sharp pressure hit her chest, and she coughed violently, expelling water from her nose and mouth.
Her lungs stung, but the fog in her mind cleared, and she slowly regained consciousness.
The happy scenes vanished, replaced by a dark sky and a crescent moon.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Quinn coughed for a while, clearing most of the water from her lungs, and started to feel better, gasping for air.
After lying on the beach for over half an hour, a sea breeze blew by, and she sat up weakly.
She met Alexander's deep gaze.
Quinn, recalling everything, asked weakly, "Why did you save me again?"
Alexander replied, "Did you find the answer?"
Quinn closed her eyes, too tired to curse him. "You're nuts!."
Alexander chuckled. "Just not fully sober."
Quinn glanced at him. "Are you sober now?"
He shrugged. "Maybe."
Quinn asked, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Alexander looked at the horizon. "Sure."

He continued, "For a moment, I wanted to sink to the bottom of the sea with you, never to be separated."
Quinn was stunned.
He smiled wryly. "But I'm too sober for that."
Quinn asked, "Are you afraid of dying?"
He replied, "No. But if you're dead, there's nothing left."
Quinn didn't know how to respond, so she stayed silent.
She looked at Alexander, who was sitting casually on the sand, looking relaxed and unrestrained for the first time.
He wasn't high and mighty or cold, just a normal person.
It was the first normal conversation they'd had in a long time.

He turned to look at her, water dripping from his hair, the moonlight outlining his features.
Quinn said, "Let's end this."
Alexander just looked at her.
He chuckled, looked away, and gazed at the sea without answering.
Quinn lowered her eyes in disappointment; he still wouldn't let her go. Then she changed the subject, "Why did your grandfather do that?"
"I don't know," Alexander said calmly, looking into the distance. The moonlight faded, and the night grew darker, making it hard to see each other's faces. Quinn stared at him, unable to read him.
She asked, "Do you really not know, or do you just not want to say?"
Alexander stood up and walked towards the sea, his voice carried by the wind, "Does it matter? It won't change anything."
Quinn watched him walk away and fell silent.
