Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

All of a sudden, it felt as if time had come to a halt as their eyes met.

It wasn't until a few students walked past them that Vivian slowly regained her senses.

When Vivian finally saw the person she'd been waiting for, the overwhelming feelings that she buried in her heart

exploded.

Without warning, she squatted down and burst into tears.

Upon seeing Vivian's tears, Sonia was at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her at all.

Kurt froze on the spot as he saw her cry her heart out. The muscles in his pale face tensed.

After a few minutes, Kurt was about to step forward to comfort Vivian. Yet, she suddenly stopped crying and wiped

the tears off her cheeks. Vivian then lifted her head and rose to her feet.

“Sonia, let's go!” With that, Vivian spun on her heel and left without looking back.

Despite waiting for an entire day, Vivian ended up crying her eyes out when she finally got to meet Kurt. After her

outburst, she left the scene without even talking to him.

Sonia couldn't help but feel puzzled by her friend's actions.

She shot a glance at Vivian's retreating back before looking at the young man, who was clearly stunned. What on

earth should I do?

“Kurt, you're too much. Did you know that Vivi spent the entire day waiting for you? She even skipped her meals.

What took you so long?” Sonia stomped her feet in frustration before she turned around and rushed toward Vivian.

Hearing this, Kurt was dumbfounded.

After a few moments, Kurt finally turned around to look at Sonia and Vivian. Unable to control himself, he clenched

his fists and hurried after the duo.

What took me so long?

Truthfully, Kurt was delayed.

Besides, he never wanted to attend this university. I clearly told Mr. Hayes that I'd be content pursuing my studies at

University of Technology. But after receiving the results of my college entrance exam, I ended up receiving a

notification from Mr. Hayes saying that he'd enrolled me in this school.

When Kurt first learned of this, he was upset.

After all, he didn't want the past to repeat itself. Kurt had used to long after something that didn't belong to him.

Although he knew he didn't deserve it, he couldn't bring himself to let it go.

In the past six months, Kurt had finally managed to rid himself of that mindset.

Why on earth did Mr. Hayes make such arrangements for me?

As a result, Kurt attended his first day of school without much enthusiasm.

Finally, Kurt managed to catch up with them.

However, he quickly realized that Vivian was one step ahead of him. She'd already hailed a cab and hopped into the

car. Sonia, who was following closely behind, followed suit.

Helplessly, Kurt watched the car speed off in silence.

Though he initially planned to chase after Vivian, he stopped himself from doing that.

He remained rooted to the spot and watched as the car disappeared from sight.

Perhaps this is for the best.

In the cold night, Kurt continued to glance at the spot where Vivian once was. After a moment, he withdrew his

gaze, and his eyes were again filled with indifference.

After that, Kurt headed back inside.

The next day, Vivian woke up with a pair of swollen eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted with the bright glare of the sunlight that streamed through the

window. Nevertheless, Vivian remained seated on her bed for a very long time. She felt as if she had been trapped

in a stupor.

“Ms. Vivian, you are finally awake. How do you feel? Do you feel unwell?” Upon knowing that Vivian had awoken,

the housemaid quickly attended to her.

Vivian glanced at the housemaid with a dazed look. After several moments, she came back to her senses, and she

felt slightly light-headed.

“W-What happened to me?”

“You were down with a fever. When Ms. Sonia sent you home last night, you were burning up. I called the doctor

over to treat your fever. It looks like the fever has subsided,” the housemaid explained hastily.

Oh, I was down with a fever... Vivian lounged on her bed for a short while before making her way to the bathroom.

“Ms. Vivian, I have not informed Mr. Hayes and Mrs. Hayes about your fever yet. Should I tell them about it right

now?”

“There's no need for that,” Vivian quickly replied.

I don't want Daddy and Mommy to be worried about me. Besides, they might blame Kurt for this. Daddy might get

mad and punish him because of my sickness.

After Vivian brushed her teeth and freshened up, she finally headed downstairs to have breakfast.

Half an hour later, Vivian received a call from Sonia.

“Vivi, are you feeling better? Do you want me to drop by and pay you a visit?”

“It's all right, Sonia. I'm fine. I'll be heading to school after breakfast.” After Vivian reassured Sonia that she would

meet the latter in school, Vivian ended the call.

Once Vivian finished her breakfast, she went back upstairs to pack her bag. With that, Vivian wore her backpack

over her shoulders and set off.

In hopes of distracting herself from her misery, Vivian planned to keep herself busy. Staying idly at home would only

cause her to dwell on the sad memories.

Hence, Vivian boarded the bus and departed for school.

Unexpectedly, a young man boarded the bus when it halted at the next stop. When he saw Vivian sitting in the back

row, he pursed his lips before walking toward her.

As Vivian was still feeling slightly unwell, she leaned her head against the window and tried to get some rest.

Nevertheless, her rest was interrupted when someone took a seat next to her.

Instinctively, Vivian whirled around to look at the person.
