Kate felt that Bruce's words were reasonable.
Leonardo was an arrogant person, always having strong opinions of his own. How could Bruce change his mind?
When she thought this, she became even more puzzled. Why did Leonardo tell her this?
She thought for a while, but she couldn't figure it out.
In the past few years, Kate had lived the life of a princess. Everyone was respectful to her, but her so-called friends were just pretending to be caring for her.
She remembered when she received the diagnosis, her first reaction was struggling whether to tell Leonardo, because Leonardo was her only relative.
As for Michael, she had stopped expecting anything from him long before.
However, she couldn't call Leonardo, for Leonardo would refuse to talk to her.
But apart from Leonardo, she found no one else to tell.
At that moment, she was desperate.
People thought she was living a decent life. But actually, no one really cared about her.
Kate felt a little stuffy. After taking a deep breath, she said to Bruce, "Get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."
Bruce didn't look her in the eye. He was wearing a complicated look. He said to Kate, "I'm not going with you."
"What?" Kate suspected that she had misheard him. Bruce would not go with her?
"The reason why I followed you to protect you was because you saved me once." Bruce said blankly, "But now I didn't own you anything. We are clear."
Kate's expression changed slightly, but she calmed down instantly, "Okay. And ... where are you going?"
Bruce did not answer Kate.
Kate continued, "That's right, you don't have to tell me where you're going. But no matter what, thank you."
If it weren't for Bruce, she wouldn't be alive now.
Bruce looked cold and frightening, but he was a courageous man.
He had principles and bottom lines, and he was more honest than most of those who seemed to be living a glamorous life.
He agreed to be her bodyguard because she had helped him once.
Now they were even, then they had nothing to do with each other.
Seeing that Bruce was still silent and seemed to have no intention to speak, Kate said, "Excuse me, I have to go back to my room."
Kate's eyes darkened slightly. She was about to turn around and leave.
However, when she turned around, Bruce suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Bruce used much strengths to grab her, and she was pulled over fiercely. The next second, she fell towards Bruce uncontrollably.
All of this happened in a very short time, and Kate cried out in astonishment. She looked up at Bruce and said, "Bruce, what..."
Bruce did not give her the chance to finish her words, as he lowered his head and covered her lips with his.
Bruce held her wrist with one hand and her waist with the other, preventing Kate from getting away from him.
Kate was in Bruce's embrace, unable to get rid of him. She closed her lips tightly in anger, giving him no chance to kiss her.
But she failed to do that.
Bruce didn't leave her lips until he felt that she was almost out of breath.
