There was hardly any traffic on the road but Hendrix focused hard as he drove.
However, something moved in my heart. I would remember that night and this expression of his forever. He looked so calm and collected, but I could feel the deep sense of love and affection he had for me through it.
If he really had to choose between revenge and dying for me that day, he would definitely have chosen the latter in a heartbeat.
However, there were no 'if's in life, and there was no need to sacrifice one's life for something that may or may not happen.
Hendrix remained silent as he drove me to the crossroads near the Reid family home and parked the car by the roadside.
As soon as I saw Mullen's car, I unbuckled my seatbelt and proceeded to get out of the car. Suddenly, Hendrix spoke in a low voice, "You're wrong."
Such inexplicable words puzzled me for a moment. "What?" I asked.
Hendrix bore his eyes into mine and said, "To me, you're the most important thing in my life.
Although you've guessed it wrong this time, it doesn't mean you were wrong the other times. Listen, no matter what happens to you, I will be there with you. No one can stop me, so you'd better give up the idea of dying. Otherwise, I don't mind turning the tables and letting you feel the pain of losing someone."
I was stunned for a moment. I did not expect him to speak so rashly.
But what Hendrix said was completely right. Ever since we left the lab, I had not been myself. I even thought that as long as Hendrix was around, everything that I ever cared about would be looked after by him. Hence, my death would be quite insignificant.
