Loving A STRANGER Chapter 383
Advertisement
Seeing she didn't feel well, Ethan caught her hand.
"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up." He insisted.
"Don't panic. It's very common for a pregnant woman." Kylie smoothed her hair and asked him all of a sudden, "Is it real what you've told me about Dora?"
Ethan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Kylie would ask that.
"What are you asking about?" he said in a deep voice.
Kylie smiled. "The human-skin mask."
In order to achieve a certain effect, an actor would put on a lot of fake skin on his or her face during shooting, but the audience couldn't find it out because of lights.
If someone was really wearing a human-skin mask in real life, it was highly possible that others would notice it.
Ethan stared at Kylie's eyes, then smiled. "Are you doubting whether I'm real Ethan or not?"
Kylie moved her eyes away at once. "Nonsense!"
The man moved to sit by Kylie's side, and his fingers run in her beautiful hair. "Even though you can't recognize my face, I bet you must know my skills very well. Come on, have a check!"
"Leave me alone!" Kylie laughed.
She now was sure this shameless man in front of her eyes must be Ethan.
"Why do you have that thought?" He hugged her up and let her sit on his legs, then fed her like she was his baby.
Kylie shook her head to avoid the spoon but was still forced to have half a bowl of the soup before she told him the reason.
"I understand." Ethan wiped her mouth clean. "A human-skin mask sounds ridiculous, but it has long been used in special arms."
"Do you mean a spy?" Kylie asked. "Almost. I'm not certain who is helping Dora now, but I'm sure he's very skillful at changing a person's face." Ethan squinted. "Don't act alone before we find Dora."

"Sure." Kylie leaned against Ethan's strong chest. Although her suspicion of him was removed, she still felt anxious.
Ethan grabbed her hand and lifted it up, looking at the transparent bracelet. "Why don't you wear the ring I've sent you, but this worthless thing."
"How come it's worthless!" Kylie drew her hand back at once. "This is your mother's family heirloom!"
Ethan wore a gentle smile. "Heirloom is just a gimmick."
"Don't put it so directly. This is the spiritual sustenance of your mother," Kylie said, then remembered something. "Didn't you tell me your mother has a twin sister? I think I've seen this bracelet somewhere before."
"You've seen it?" Ethan was annoyed in an instant. "No matter who she is, I won't accept her."
Kylie sighed. "Mother's temper is so good. There is no reason that she couldn't get along with others. If there is really a conflict, a mother must be the victim." Ethan snorted with anger and stopped talking about this topic.
This spacious presidential suite fell into the silence within a second.
Kylie soon felt sleepy, hugging Ethan's neck. When she was about to close her eyes, she heard his low deep voice saying by her ear.
"My mother was assaulted by a man and then had me in her belly."
Hearing that, Kylie abruptly sat up, looking at Ethan.
"Do you mean..." She rounded her eyes in shock, and an idea dawned on her.
Ethan was silent for a while before he opened his mouth again. "Yeah, my mother indeed is the victim."
Kylie felt so sad.
Why? What has happened before?
Kylie couldn't figure it out, and Ethan began to tell her the heartbreaking story in a more detailed way, which she had already heard before.

In the end, she remembered where she had seen this bracelet last time.
It was her first meeting with Agnes. There was also a bracelet of this shape around her wrist, but its color was a little different.
"How did you get to know the story?" Kylie clasped Ethan, trying to comfort him with her body.
"I saw my mother crying with this bracelet once, and I was very curious about it, so I did an investigation." Ethan patted Kylie's back like she needed comfort more than him.
Kylie rubbed against his chest with her head and asked, "If, I mean, if you know who is your biological father, what will you do?"
"I only have a father who is old, Mr. Parker." Ethan held her hand and kissed it back. "I also only have a wife."
Kylie didn't say it aloud that she thought Agnes and old Mrs. Parker could be twin sisters.
In fact, in her heart, she hoped there was no connection between them at all.
Ethan rubbed her hair and sighed. "I need comfort now."
Kylie approached him and kissed his cheek with great force.
"Another side." He turned his head to the other side.
Kylie kissed him again with a smile.
"And in the middle."
Kylie laughed, but Ethan hugged her up before she could kiss him once more. "Let's go appreciate the moon!"
Kylie sat on the high stool in the terrace, leaning against the man's strong body and appreciating the silver-like moon above her head.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
"Do you know what day it is today?" Ethan asked her all of a sudden.
"What?" Kylie was struck dumb for a second. "Monday?"
"We've been together for a whole 100 days," Ethan said and pinched her cheek with a gentle smile.
"Oh!" Kylie was surprised and beamed with happiness.
The moon in the sky hid into the thin clouds, and the light-colored light emerged, making it even more mysterious.
"Let's take a photo together to remember this moment!" Kylie said and took out her phone.
However, she didn't take their faces but pointed the camera at the shadows on the ground.
Ethan stood while she sat.
The girl was looking up to him with admiration.
Someone said the whole world was barely comparable to a woman you loved. Kylie, instead, thought she already owned this world once she had Ethan.
With a shutter sound, this dreamy moment was remembered.
Kylie wasn't good at shooting, but the two ordinary shadows were coated with a layer of beautiful light with the help of a beauty application.
She posted it on her Instagram at once, along with a line of words.
Does he or she appreciate the beautiful moon with you tonight?
Within 10 minutes, over ten thousand people re-posted her post.
Some thought the male shadow in the picture must be Kylie's new boyfriend. Many people wished Kylie to be happy and criticized William again at the same time.
Some also believed the man must be a handsome actor in the entertainment industry, given his perfect profile and body shape, and Kylie must be attracting attention for her new show.
Nobody noticed there was a very unkind comment left below her post.
You just sold your body for money and fame. You will regret it when you knew his real identity!

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
