Of course, the person on the bed was still quiet.
She waited for a while, but upon realizing that Gideon did not respond, she reached out curiously to touch his forehead.
However, while her hand was still in the air, the man who was lying on the bed motionlessly, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist quickly. He wore an expression that made Nell think that he was really unfamiliar.
It was like looking at someone you never knew, or maybe an even enemy.
Nell smiled bitterly. Indeed, she was a foe to Gideon no, was she not?
After all, although she did not know what happened, she could also tell from the previous situation that Gideon was chasing Jeff, but she had saved Jeff by coincidence.
Therefore, she had nothing to complain about.
Nell pressed her lips together, resisting the weird sensation when facing his eyes, and asked, "Are you awake now? How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Gideon took her hand away coldly and sat up.
"What is this place?" he looked around and asked in a hoarse voice. Maybe because he was injured, his voice was abnormally rough.
Nell was a little puzzled. "You don’t know either? I thought it was your people who rescued us. You should know where this is."
"My people?" Gideon gave her a weird look. "Who are my people?"
Nell was taken aback. Immediately, she heard a low voice, "My people have long died on the ship."
Nell was shocked!
"So, they’re not—"
Realizing something, she closed her mouth suddenly.
Gideon did not speak. He observed the instrument attached to his body, and reached out his hand to pull out the tube, then he put on his coat and walked out.
Nell quickly followed.
There was still no one outside, but this time, maybe because she was with Gideon, she observed something different. For example, there seemed to be a faint red light passing through the air, and she knew that those were infrared rays.
Gideon said coldly, "Follow me closely and do whatever I do."
"Mm," Nell answered obediently as she followed behind him and walked out step by step.
In about five minutes, the two reached outside.
Gideon took a janitor's uniform from somewhere and threw it to her, indicating for her to change into it. Then, he changed into another set of identical clothing. He pulled two garbage bins from the corridor, and they walked out together with their heads down.
It was not a difficult exit.
The two soon arrived outside. Gideon glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Are you coming with me, or are you going back by yourself?"
Nell realized that she was now safe, thus she shook her head. "I’ll go back by myself."
Although her actual thought was to follow Gideon, only through this way could she know what he was doing.
However, it was not her decision to make.
By this time, Nell realized that although she was now back in time, in reality, she was just a bystander that could only watch what happened that year without making any changes.
Gideon nodded without saying anything, turned around, and got into the car.
Nell also stopped a taxi from the side of the road and took a taxi to the school.
When she arrived at school, the environment was still the one that she was familiar with.
She saw that Gideon had changed into an elegant suit. He sat there like he was a beautiful landscape, completely different from what she had seen on the cruise ship before.
Nell felt a little nervous. "That...If the conditions are met, when can you pay up?"
Gideon flipped through her physical examination report and replied without any emotions, "Soon."
He went through the report and seemed satisfied, so he asked her, "This operation may not be successful in just one go, so you need to stay here for a few days. Are you willing to do so?"
Nell nodded quickly. “Yes.”
After that, he asked someone to guide her down.
For a while, Nell lived in a very luxurious and beautiful house.
Gideon would come over occasionally but just to see the progress. He and Nell hardly communicated, but she could feel that this man was different from what she had seen before.
She did not understand what was different, hence she just did her own thing silently: studying and preparing to go to school. Now, as long as she could get the money, then she could continue her studies.
Finally, one day, the sampling was successful.
Gideon gave her a million-dollar card, and the deal between the two of them was considered cleared.
Immediately afterward, someone yelled loudly, "Blow this place up for the master!"
A huge explosion erupted, stunning Nell's brain, and her heart felt as if it had suddenly come loose. She lost all of her strength in an instant.
However, at this moment, her wrist was suddenly clenched as the other person grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
