Chapter 1387
Felipe could not believe what he was seeing before his eyes, but the face that appeared before his tearful eyes was so real.
“Cathy, Cathy.”
He muttered to himself. Then, he raised his hand and fiercely wiped the tears from his eyes.
The seemingly familiar figure that flashed across from him turned and walked toward the other side.
Felipe hurried to keep up, but this was the peak hour of people getting off work. Even if he wanted to run a red light to the opposite side, he would not have such a chance.
“Cathy, Cathy!”
Felipe shouted to the young woman’s back, but from a long distance away, the woman walked forward while minding her business. It was as if she did not hear Felipe yelling at her. It was also as if she had no impression of the name Cathy.
Felipe could not find the opportunity to run to the opposite side, so he could only move ahead along this street and catch up with the woman. Soon, the woman turned the corner at the end of the road.
“Cathy!”
Felipe could not accept that he could not see her figure anymore. He ignored the traffic and rushed across the road.
A lot of drivers rolled down their windows and poked their heads out to yell at Felipe, “Do you want to die? You deserve to die for charging out into the road like this!”
Felipe had no mood to care about these people. He also knew that he was the one at fault, but he had no choice.
He was afraid that the person he was thinking of day and night would disappear from his eyes again.
He was terrified.
However, when Felipe ran up to the corner, he realized that the shadow from just now had disappeared.
“Cathy! Cathy!” Felipe yelled and screamed with a flustered expression, but there were only passersby who looked at him in confusion. The familiar figure never appeared again.
“Cathy…”
Felipe lowered his dull eyes as if his whole heart was hollowed out.
‘Could it be that what I saw just now is just an illusion because I’m missing you too much?
After he turned around, a young woman came out of a toy store nearby while holding a good-looking little boy in her arms.
“Mommy, Daddy said we’re going to have din-din soon, so we have to go home fast,” the little boy said childishly. Although he was a little inarticulate, he still wanted to express himself.
The woman looked at the boy in her arms and raised her eyebrows while showing a crooked smile. “Let’s go home now. Let’s not make Daddy and your sister wait too long.”
“Yeah!” The little guy nodded and smiled. Then, he nestled in the woman’s arms.
Those big, clean, and full eyes looked around quick-wittedly. Suddenly, he seemed to see a familiar figure.
“Mommy, it’s that uncle.”
He pointed to Felipe who was standing on the side of the road not far away, looking inattentive.
“It’s that uncle again.”
“Which uncle?” The woman stopped and looked curiously in the direction her son was pointing.
Under the light of the setting sun, the man’s long and handsome body came into her sight coldly and desolately.
