The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1642

Lucy!

She was the girl of the indigenous people who took Vivian and the rest to the subterranean river to search for the black stone back then at Aquene Temple. She had even stayed with them at Oceanic Estate for a while.

However, she returned to her village when it was time for Vivian, Matteo, and lan to go to school. Why is she here? How is she related to Elysium?

Vivian widened her eyes in disbelief.

As for Kurt, his gaze darkened when he saw the girl, and a cold glint flashed past his eyes

Lucy was at a loss for words.

“Lucy, what are you looking at? Aren't we going back to eat? Why are you still standing there?” the middle-aged man asked, noticing that his niece was staring in the direction of Vivian and Kurt.

He walked over suspiciously, trying to figure the situation out.

In the nick of time, Lucy ran back while replying, “It's nothing. Who are those people? I've not seen them here before.”

"Oh, they're probably from a neighboring tribe, trying to climb over the borders. It's fine. Let's go home and eat.” After hearing Lucy's words, the middle-aged man did not ask any further questions before turning around, preparing to leave.

Vivian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that.

She was really glad that Lucy did not expose them. Otherwise, they would surely be in deep trouble. Just when they thought everything was fine, the middle-aged man suddenly turned back and said sternly, “The two of you, leave right now! Stop sneaking around, understand? Otherwise, I won't let you off”

Vivian was stunned at the man's sudden outburst while Kurt exuded an air of hostility.

However, they merely kept quiet and restrained themselves

Fortunately, the middle-aged man left with Lucy after giving them that warning.

After both of them were gone, Vivian asked, “Kurt, what should we do now? If they won't let us in, how are we supposed to meet up with Daphne?”

“Then we'll take the same route she took,” the young man replied with a crease between his brows as he gazed at the majestic mountain ahead of them.

Vivian's expression changed instantly.

The same route she took?

Isn't that area taken over by the remnants of this tribe? Wouldn't it be very dangerous if we travel by that path?

“Kurt, can't we go another way instead? lan said that it'll be really dangerous for us to venture there if it's really where those people reside.”

Vivian looked toward the young man with a worried expression on her face.

However, the fact was that they simply had no other options. Kurt did not know of any other routes they could take that would allow them to reach the entrance of River of Styx by the agreed time.

If they didn't show up by then, that woman might end up changing her mind.

Kurt's gaze darkened at that thought. In the end, he still made the decision to turn back and take their original path.

However, right after Vivian and Kurt arrived at the mountain, a young lady who was wearing a thick silver ring on her neck sprinted toward them.

“Kurt, Vivian! Wait up!”

It turned out to be Lucy again.

She had returned.

Vivian froze for a second. Before she could react, the young man next to her had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him.

Lucy, who had just caught up with the two of them, fixed her gaze on their tightly held hands while catching her breath. After a long while, she finally looked away.

"Why are you here?”

“I... I specially came here to look for you guys. Vivian, why did you two come here? Is something up?” Lucy asked her old friend in concern.

Vivian blinked her eyes and looked at Kurt, who was standing in front of her.

The young man replied coldly, “Everything is fine. We're just here for leisure. I studied architecture when I was in college, and I'm very interested in tribal architectural designs. I'm thinking of incorporating some of the elements in my work, so I decided to make a trip here during the holidays.”

It was just an excuse that Kurt made up on the spot.

After hearing the young man's words, Vivian's eyes grew wider.

Impressive! How did he manage to come up with such an excuse so quickly?

With a look of realization on her face, Lucy answered, “I see. We seem to be quite fated. I never thought that I would get to see you guys again.”

The young lady started feeling down as she spoke.

Noticing the change in Lucy's expression, Vivian dismissed her thoughts with a wave and tried to comfort her. “Don't be silly! We are friends, of course we'll see each other again. When you get home, you can come and look for us at Oceanic Estate any time you want!”

“I can't go back anymore.”

Lucy became even more upset after hearing what Vivian said and started sobbing in front of the two of them.

She was sobbing so hard that even Kurt could not help but look at her.

“My grandpa is gone. Shortly after you guys left, I went home. During that time, Grandpa took a fall when he was chopping wood in the mountains and died instantly. After that, my uncle brought me here. Since then, I haven't gone home. It has already been more than half a year.”

Lucy continued wailing sorrowfully.

Vivian was shocked at what she had just heard.

She could hardly believe that something so terrible had happened to her friend.

She still remembered that back when she was at Aquene Temple, it was Lucy's grandpa asking Lucy to show them the way. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lucy told them that her parents had passed away long ago and it was her grandpa who raised her.q
