Iris Harris looked at him calmly.
"Brandan Hyde, have you ever heard a story like this?"
"A fisherman caught a bottle containing a demon, but when he released the demon, it wanted to kill him.
Do you know why?
The demon said: ’Fisherman, listen to my story, and you will understand what happened.
"I am an evil god. I opposed the gods and angered them. They advised to stop my wickedness, but I wouldn’t listen. So, the gods took a copper bottle, sealed inside, covered the mouth with tin, and threw into the sea.
"In the first century in the sea, I told myself, ’Whoever saves in this century, I will surely reward him with a lifeti of wealth.’ But a century passed, and no one ca to save .
"At the start of the second century, I thought: ’If soone saves in this century, I must reward him by uncovering all the treasures buried in the ground for him.’ Yet still, no one ca to save .
"At the start of the third century, I told myself, ’Whoever saves in this century, I will definitely reward him by granting him three wishes.’ But still, no one ca to save .
"I stayed in the sea for a full four hundred years, and I beca very angry, so I swore, ’Whoever saves now, I will kill him.’
At this point, Iris Harris paused, raised her head, and looked at him slowly.
Iris Harris’s dark eyes looked deeply at him and said softly, "I waited for you all night."
She had once given him a whole night’s chance.
"When I was first taken away, I told myself if you ca to save now, I would forgive you."
"But you didn’t co."
"When I was locked up, I told myself if you ca to save now, I would forgive you."
"I waited and waited until the sky lightened and a whole night passed."
"But you didn’t co."
"Aren’t you curious about what happened that day?" Iris Harris laughed softly, "Actually, nothing happened. They took there and locked in that iron room. When they locked in, they left quickly."
"There was radioactive material inside. If you stayed there for twelve hours, it would cause permanent radiation to your body. They didn’t lay a hand on ; they were just making wait to die."
"The child was also lost at that ti. I don’t know why, maybe I was too scared... But even if it wasn’t lost, I wouldn’t have been able to give birth to it."
At this point, her tears began to fall slowly.
That was the deepest regret of her life.
The child she had desperately tried to keep was ultimately not kept.
She had too little fortune in this life.
The love from ten years ago might have already exhausted all her good fortune in this life, which is why the past ten years have been so difficult.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Everything is about to end soon.
The twelve hours in the iron room had consud all her strength for life.
She had once hoped for Brandan Hyde’s arrival, just like ten years ago, he would co breaking all barriers, saving her from the waves.
But this person ultimately wasn’t her "Brandan," he ultimately didn’t co.
She was utterly in despair.
Brandan Hyde sat beside her, his face already covered with tears.
