Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1624

On the other side, their conversation riveted Vivian to her spot.

The fogginess in her mind had begun to fade away. But when she heard Daphne’s words, it felt as though her entire brain turned blank once again.

Prince Kurt? What does that mean? Why did that woman call him a prince?

Vivian became even more confused when she saw how Daphne was kneeling respectfully in front of Kurt.

Didn’t Great-grandpa rescue Kurt from poverty? How did he suddenly become a prince? Also, what sort of place is Elysium?

In the span of a few seconds, Vivian’s mind was thrust back into a state of chaos.

After around five minutes, Daphne’s words seemed to have swayed Kurt. Slowly, he lowered his bow.

The corners of Daphne’s mouth upturned into a smile.

“You’d better not be lying,” Kurt warned her.

“I will not back out on my promise. I solemnly swear that if I don’t rescue Mrs. Calyette and your sister, I will pay for the price with my own eyesight. Furthermore, breaking my vow means I will be cursed to remain in the afterlife for eternity. I will not be able to reincarnate,” Daphne declared as she raised her right hand.

This vow was considered the highest form of binding that one could place on themselves.

After all, having good eyesight was one of the high priest’s most important assets.

Without her eyesight, Daphne would be as good as dead.

Even so, Kurt continued to look at her with disdain. Clearly, he still did not completely trust Daphne.

If she ever goes back on her word, I will banish her from the cycle of reincarnation and make her regret that she was ever born!

In the end, Kurt decided to spare the mother and son duo.

When he lifted his head to glance at Vivian, he instantly noticed the look of shock scrawled all over her face.

Somehow, the sight of her surprise felt as if a knife shad stabbed through his heart.

In haste, Kurt scrambled toward her.

With a trembling voice, he asked Vivian, “A-Are you all right? Were you hurt?”

Despite his concern, Vivian showed no sign of response. Instead, she stared at him blankly. The empty look on her delicate features shattered Kurt’s heart into tiny pieces.

Kurt clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles became bone white.

Quickly, he scanned her body to see if she had suffered any injuries. Throughout the entire ordeal, Vivian’s bathrobe had fallen loose. Immediately, Kurt found his gaze drawn to her exposed skin. When realization dawned upon him, he quickly averted his eyes and shrugged off his hoodie. “Here, wear this.”

There was an indescribable feeling that lurked in his heart when he saw Vivian in this state.
