Rebirth and Finding the One Truly Loves Me

hapter 393 She was willing to be his medicine! After learning that Sterling was on a mountain behind the school, Audrey went to find him. From a distance, she saw a tall and stern figure sitting on a rock.

In the cold and freezing weather, he wore only a thin black shirt, unlike his usual meticulous appearance, with a hint of wrinkles, his slender figure exuding a sense of desolation and melancholy.

Just watching his back. Audrey's nose started to feel sour.

Taking a deep breath, Audrey walked towards him.

She sat on a nearby rock and didn’t call out to him.

There were countless cigarette butts sc at tered under his feet, and his slender fingertips were holding a half-burnt cigarette. He must have been sitting here for a long time.

From this perspective, overlooking the entire village, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, it is not like the hustle and bustle of a big city, but rather exudes a serene and quaint elegance.

This tranquility and simplicity can calm down the restless heart.

Audrey's clear deer-like eyes fell upon the man’s sharply defined handsome face. His usually clean-sha ven jaw had grown a faint stubble, and his dark and profound narrow eyes had hidden red bloodshot veins that were hard to conceal.

It was obvious that | hadn't slept well due to staying up late.

Audrey furrowed her brows tightly, feeling an indescribable. discomfort in her heart.

She sat quietly on the side until a dark and ugly bug crawled towards

her feet.

Audrey, who considered herself brave, still screamed and jumped off the rock when she saw the bug for a moment. In a panic. she threw herself into Sterling’s arms.

Sterling really didn’t notice that there was someone else beside him. When Audrey fell into his arms. he thought it was another woman and instinctively tried to push her away.

As a result, his neck tightened and the girl’s slender arms wrapped around his neck.

“There are bugs!” Audrey buried her face into the man’s shoulder, her delicate hand pointing at the bug crawling on the stone. Sterling glanced in the direction Audrey was pointing and saw that the bug. possibly startled by her, burrowed into the soil. He lowered his gaze and looked at the trembling girl in his arms, his long fingers holding a cigarette, frozen in mid-air.

Seemingly incredulous, yet feeling it could be an illusion, he looked up at the distance and then lowered his head again to the person in his

arms.

Audrey slowly lifted her head, her pure black hair cascading down her shoulders. Her fair and delicate face was only the size of a palm, and her butterfly-like long eyelashes fluttered. She bit her lip with her white teeth, exuding an indescribable charm.

Who else but Audrey? tl Chapter 3x3 She was wiling to be his me

Sterling’s narrowed eyes darkened as he looked at Audrey, his prominent Adam’s apple sliding up and down. His voice deep and h oa rse, he asked. “How...did you end up here?”

He came to Spring Mountain without telling anyone.

Even Deon might not have known he was here.

Audrey playfully fluttered her long and thick eyelashes and said, “We have a telepathic connection, don’t we?” Sterling looked deeply into Audrey's dark eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Audrey looked at his face, which had become thinner and more haggard in just a few short days, and held out her pale hands to him.

“Deon told me, your mother came back. right?”

When mentioning that woman. Sterling’s handsome features suddenly tensed up, and his deep black eyes were filled with a terrifying storm. “Don’t mention her!”

Seeing Sterling’s reaction, Audrey became even more certain in her heart that the root cause of his illness was his mother. Once the cold and tough man turned fierce and gloomy, his aura could freeze everything around him.

Audrey suppressed the palpitations in her heart and looked into his clear deer-like eyes, as serene as water. She asked gently. “Can you tell me about your past?”

Sterling didn’t like others prying into his privacy.

If someone had asked him to speak about the past, he might have exploded on the spot. Chapte 303 55e was willing to be ha medicine

But now, the person asking him is Audrey.

Her watery eyes, like feathers that could soothe the restlessness and gloom in people’s hearts. Gently, softly.

He tightly pursed his thin and cold lips, as if a century had passed. He slowly spoke, “After she caught our father cheating and had a car accident that left her unable to walk, her temperament changed drastically. She went abroad for treatment, and later on, | also went abroad to study.”

“On weekends, she would pick me up and take me to her place. | thought it would be a warm time for mother and son to be together, but it didn’t happen...”

“She was me ntally unstable and would lock me in a dark basement when the serv ants were not around. She would repeatedly play videos of my father’s infidelity, but | refused to watch. In response, she would stab me with a needle.”

It seemed unwilling to recall such a scene, the veins on his temples throbbed, as if he was trying hard to restrain his emotions.

Audrey's heart tightened all of a sudden. She couldn’t imagine how Gianna could bring herself to lay hands on her young son at such a tender age!

He must have endured torment and abuse, otherwise he wouldn’t have developed such a severe m ental illness. Audrey didn’t want to make him remember anymore, which was undoubtedly torture for him.

His thin lips moved slightly, indicating that he wanted to continue speaking, but suddenly his vision darkened.

The girl’s delicate and charming face enlarged in front of him, and in the next second, her thin lips were sealed by her. In Audrey’s clear deer eyes, a thin mist emerged, and in her mind, she saw a scene where he once choked her neck.

At that time, he was like a stimulated wild beast, with bloodshot eyes and panting heavily in anger, as if he wanted to destroy everything!

She had always known that he must have experienced some kind of trauma, but she never expected that at such a young age, he would be abused by his own biological mother.

How did he manage to survive, being so small?

icy

Audrey's spine sent a chill up her back. her hands and feet to give

cold. She tightly embraced the man’s shoulders, as if wanting to give him all her warmth and strength.

Sterling buried his face in her slender neck, his voice low and h oar se, “She said | was a monster. a madman—”

Audrey's heart was suddenly gripped with pain. In this world, what could be more cruel than being called a lu natic, a monster, and being treated so mercilessly by one’s own biological mother?

He was just a child back then, and which child doesn’t long for a mother’s love? But he lived in a dark and sick world!

Tears welled up in Audrey’s eyes and uncontrollably streamed down her face. She shook her head, her voice gentle yet firm, “You are not!”

Sterling’s cold and austere body suddenly stiffened.

He lifted his head from her delicate neck and looked at her tear- streaked face. His pupils contracted slightly “When | had an episode, you did see it. Audra. | truly am not quite normal.”

Audrey raised her hand and wiped off the water droplets on her face. She sniffed her reddened nose and softly said to him. “Then I'll be your medicine.”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was evident that his breathing had become slightly heavier.

The ordinary girl knew about his obsessive and pathological side, she couldn’t even hide from it, but this silly girl wanted to be his cure!

Sterling pursed his thin lips and tightened his determined jaw. “When she was having a fit, she didn’t recognize anyone. That night, | almost choked her to death.”

The outcome of strangling her. he was not unaware.

But once it got out of control, there was no rationality left.

He was also afraid that one day he would lose his sanity and harm Audrey!

He didn’t say who she was, but Audrey knew in her heart that ‘she’ referred to his mother. He almost strangled her!

She was somewhat horrified.

His illness was even more serious than she had imagined!

Sterling’s dark eyes deeply looked at Audrey’s expression. Seeing her pupils slightly contract, he thought she was scared and retreated. He extended his long arm and forcefully pushed her away.

“You still have time to stay away from me!”

Audrey was caught off guard and was pushed by him, falling to the ground. The small pebble scraped against the palm, causing a slight pain.

Sterling had already stood up from the rock, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he knew that his emotions had once again gotten out of control.

Continuing to talk to her, he didn’t know what he would do. He turned around and walked down the mountain. Audrey watched his tall and desolate figure, her heart feeling as if it had been tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

She understood his current state of mind, fragile, sensitive, and suspicious, like a person falling into a dark abyss, any slight movement would make him tightly wrap himself up!

Audrey sighed, got up from the ground, and chased after Sterling.

He could hear her footsteps and he walked faster and faster.

He was tall with long legs, taking two steps for every one of hers. He intentionally avoided her, so naturally she couldn’t catch up. Audrey was a little annoyed.

Standing on the playground, Hannah saw Sterling and Audrey coming down the hill one after the other. Sterling had a gloomy and icy expression, looking like someone to be avoided. Hannah walked up to Audrey, puzzled.

Ill D “You came all the way to find him, and he wasn’t moved, but rather became unhappy?”

Audrey naturally wouldn't tell anyone about Sterling’s me ntal illness. She pursed her hips and whispered. “He’s not in a good mood, let’s let hum calm down first!”

Hannah didn’t dig deeper. No matter how good a best friend is, if the other person doesn’t want to talk, you can’t pry into their privacy.

“Shall we go and give gifts to the children?”

“Sure”

Audrey and Hannah brought the gifts to the classroom.

When they saw Audrey and Hannah, the children opened their eyes wide and looked at the two of them curiously. “Are you fairy sisters? You look so beautiful!”

After Audrey and Hannah introduced themselves with a smile, they took out the gifts they had brought

“Remote-controlled car!”

“Pink backpack!”

Audrey handed out the gills one by one to the little children that Sterling had recorded in the notebook.

When it was sent to Sonia, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Audrey with a black and red face. “Pretty sister, are you Sterling’s girlfriend?”

e was willing to be his medicine Audrey felt a little embarrassed by the innocent gaze of the little girl. She nodded and said. “Yes, indeed.” Sonia looked at the pink backpack in her arms and pouted. “When | grow up. | want to marry Sterling.”

Audrey didn’t expect to have such a small rival. She smiled and patted Sonia’s head. “What should we do then? Sterling is only one, and sister doesn’t want to give him to anyone!”

Sonia furrowed her brows for a moment, then suddenly saw a tall figure appearing at the classroom door. Her eyes widened. “Sterling is here!”

Audrey turned around and saw a figure leaning against the classroom door, not knowing when it had appeared. She thought about the words. she had just said to Sonia, and her heart couldn't help but sk ip a beat.

Sonia ran towards Sterling and grabbed his long hand with her small hand. “Sterling, will you marry a beautiful sister in the future?”
