Chapter 1345: What Was She Just Saying...?
Matthew Saxon was stunned, and lowered his head to look at her.
Her eyes were still tightly closed, but a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and her face seemed tense, her breath slightly rapid.
The hand clutching his shirt button was getting tighter; if she exerted a bit more force, she could tear the button off.
"Don’t go, big brother, don’t go..." Her fragmented sobbing slipped from her throat, like a mourning little beast, sobbing and crying, "Big brother, don’t you want Little Tail anymore? Didn’t you say... you would let me be your Little Tail for a lifetime?"
"Don’t go... don’t leave... I won’t let you go..."
"Liar, big brother is a liar, big brother doesn’t want Little Tail anymore..." More tears slipped from the corner of her eye.
She began with a whimper, choking, and as she cried, she began to sob, crying very sadly.
Bang—
The wine bottle placed by the table was knocked over, with a crack it hit the table, and half a bottle of wine spilled out.
The purplish-red wine spilled along the edge of the table all over the ground.
A white carpet lay on the ground, with drops of wine falling like blood, visibly red.
Matthew Saxon’s pupils contracted, his hand trembled.
What was she just... saying?
He seemed to hear her mention the name Little Tail.
He was so shocked his heart stopped for a few seconds, incredibly looking at her.
He thought he would never hear that name from someone else again, a name buried deep in his heart for over ten years, how could it come from her lips?
After a few seconds of astonishment, Matthew Saxon suspected he heard wrong.
She was drunk, so she said some nonsensical things, she might not even be talking about Little Tail, but something with a similar sound.
Because he was so sensitive to that name, he heard incorrectly.
How could she possibly know Little Tail? How could she possibly be Little Tail?
His Little Tail had been swept away by the ocean over ten years ago.
He searched for so long, but couldn’t find her.
His Little Tail was no longer in this world because of his negligence, his carelessness, which caused her to be buried in the vast ocean.
He would never forget, at the moment when she was swept away by the huge waves, she reached out to him, her usual smiling little face was full of fear, crying out for him to save her.
At that moment, she must have pinned all her hopes on him, she thought he would save her, because in her heart, her big brother was omnipotent.
But what did he do?
He did nothing.
He was dragged back by others, able only to watch her be swept away into the depths.
After a few waves rolled over, she disappeared.
"Don’t go... don’t leave... you promised you would take me with you." The sobbing gradually quieted, but she was still crying fiercely, tears flowing silently, the hand gripping the fabric of his clothes didn’t relax in the slightest, as if she truly feared he would leave.
Matthew Saxon wanted to strain his ears to listen.
But Scarlett Yates didn’t speak any more dreams, she just sobbed very softly, cried for a while, and then her tears gradually stopped.
Just now, it really seemed like he had misheard.
After a bout of crying, Scarlett Yates fell quiet again.
But Matthew Saxon’s heart was far from calm.
Even if it was very likely he heard wrong, before he got confirmation, his heart couldn’t calm down.
