Chapter 32 You are my redemption
Chapter 32 You are my redemption
Somehow, Rachel Stuart feels a little shy.
She says coyly, “But you don’t tell me why you like me. I try to think it through. I have never met you
before, and I remember nothing about you.”
“I know.” Thomas Grey sighs, “Because I was in a tight corner then. How could you remember me at
that time?”
Rachel Stuart doesn’t understand.
“The first time I saw you was when I was eighteen.”
Rachel Stuart is stunned, “you were eighteen?” Then that’s when she was fifteen.
If she is not wrong, Thomas Grey is three years older than her.
Thomas Grey holds Rachel Stuart up and walks to her bedside to sit down, “Yes, when I was 18, I was
kidnapped because of family conflicts...”
Rachel Stuart shivers.
Thomas Grey chuckles, “Don't worry, I'm sitting beside you right here right now, safe and sound. At that
time, I was tied up and they wanted to trade me for something, and I forgot the reason, because it was
ten years ago, but I always remember the girl who brought me out of hell.”
Rachel Stuart's eyes are blank, “You are not going to say that I am the girl who brought you out of hell.”
Thomas Grey nods, “yes, it’s you.”
“How, how could...When I was fifteen, I was studying at school obediently and honestly. I was in senior
high school then, and my parents were strict to me. I was allowed to go nowhere. Except there was one
time that I was allowed to go back to my hometown in the countryside during the winter vacation...”
Rachel Stuart says “countryside” and feels stunned.
By the look on Rachel Stuart's face, Thomas Grey knows that she remembers something.
“Remember?” Thomas Grey holds her hand and caresses it gently, “I was confined for a long time.
They didn’t torture me much, but didn’t give me any water or food. They didn’t show up for three days. I
forgot how I survived…I was about to die when you appeared.”
Hearing this, Rachel Stuart remembers something.
She didn't know that the boy in custody was kidnapped. She always thought that his family didn’t allow
him to go out, or that he was in poor health or something.
She didn't find much fun in the country, so she went to talk to him from time to time every day, though
he didn't talk to her.
“At that time, I felt that every day was like living in hell, but you would show up at that little window Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
every day and talk to me quietly, and you would bring some small fruits sometimes that you thought
were very delicious...Though the little fruits are very sour, you don't know, if it hadn't been for the little
fruits you gave me, I would have starved to death.”
“Thomas Grey…”
“Later, I can speak again. So, I told you a little about myself, but I was afraid to get you involved.
Because I did not know who had planned my kidnapping, so I did not dare to tell you everything. Only
that some family members would not give me food, so you brought me some good food every day
secretly.”
“Finally, I got the strength, and I took advantage of their absence to escape. They thought that without
water or food, I could not escape, so they did not bother to lock me up any more. They threatened me
for totally two months...”
“I thought, as long as I ran out of that house, I can return home, but unexpectedly, after I ran out, I
found that it was a strange village. I dared not to yell for help or tell other people about my situation.
Because I didn’t know whether these people were a group of those who kidnapped me."
“Just when I was in despair, you showed up again.”
