From the moment he lost consciousness, Charlie had no idea how long he had been drifting in the void until finally, a faint light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
At this moment, along with the faint light came intense pain and an extreme sense of weakness. This sense of weakness was so overwhelming that he could not even muster the strength to open his eyes.
Soon, he felt that his body seemed to be enveloped in a warm sensation, and this warmth seemed to provide some relief to the intense pain all over him. He then discovered that the warm feeling was lifting him upward.
Afterward, he heard a familiar voice exclaiming in his ear, “Charlie!” This call allowed Charlie’s vision to gradually return.
When the weakened Charlie opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he was utterly stunned because he suddenly discovered that the beautiful girl soaking in the hot spring pool, revealing only part of her beautiful shoulders, was none other than the mysterious Vera!
Charlie was immediately shocked! He felt as if he were having a bizarre, illogical dream, and he was unable to distinguish whether he was dead or alive.
Vera looked at Charlie’s horrified and shocked expression, smiled sweetly, and said in a gentle and melodious voice, “Charlie, I’m Vera. I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?”
As Charlie looked at her pure expression and yet cunning smile, he felt that the intense pain all over his body had disappeared in an instant. Besides, there was an inexplicable illusion of peaceful times in the depths of his heart.
He couldn't help but mutter, “Damn it. I'm probably already dead… But if I'm dead, why would I see Vera here? She shouldn't be dead too, right? It doesn't make sense. I clearly told her to stay at the university. Could these be just illusions after death?”
When Charlie heard this, he felt even more shocked, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning in an instant. He widened his eyes and looked around and was even more astonished!
He remembered that the moment Mr. Chardon suddenly turned into a human nuclear bomb, he was severely injured and instantly lost consciousness.
He thought he would definitely die, but unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in the hot spring pool in Vera’s villa. Moreover, he was even lifted out of the hot spring pool by Vera in the nude!
When Vera saw that Charlie had suddenly opened his eyes, she blushed and hurriedly said, “Charlie, don't be nervous. You are absolutely safe here. I’ll answer all of your questions after we enter the room!”
