My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1038

Cassie’s voice was pleasant and sweet.

Looking at her sweet smile, Nash tried his best to force out a smile. “Okay, let’s go watch the sunrise!”

He took Cassie’s hand and walked toward the barren mountain in the distance.

Cassie locked fingers with Nash’s big, warm hands.

“Nashy… I’ve dreamed of walking hand-in-hand with you for countless nights!”

She was over the moon at that moment.

She was able to walk hand-in-hand with the man she loved during the last moments of her life. She could die without any regrets now.

Nash held her hand tightly and said while forcing a smile, “I didn’t expect that I would leave such a deep impression on you after spending just a few months together!”

He had spent three months with Cassie in the Parasite Colony.

He was curious about parasitic bugs, so he would ask Cassie questions about them every day.

The 11-year-old Cassie would patiently explain to him what she knew.

“I don’t have a mom. My grandfather and father manage the colony, so they rarely spend time with me since I was a child. Kids my age always stay away from me because of my status.

“My childhood was a lonely one, so your presence was like a beacon of light to me. You were the one who lit up my world!”

Cassie looked into the distance and softly expressed her thoughts.

Nash recalled the time he first arrived in the Parasite Colony.

A beautiful little girl in Mallefic tribe clothes was peeking at him behind the door.

Cassie was very timid at the time.

She did not even dare to come out during meal times.

After getting to know one another, Cassie began to open up.

Nash did not think much about it at that time. He just thought that Cassie was shy.

He never expected her to be going through all of that. No wonder he left such a deep impression on her.

In fact, Nash missed that time very much too.

He was always either on a mission to kill someone or cultivating in seclusion on Tili Mountain.

Only during the three months in the Parasite Colony did he feel free.

Before they knew it, they reached the foot of the mountain.

Nash picked Cassie up and jumped up, landing on the top of the mountain.

However, it required a lot of true energy.

With the mountain peak as the center, all the plants within a 500-meter radius had withered even though they were capable of surviving in the winter.

However, on the grounds where Nash stood, tender shoots of green grass began to sprout at a visible speed.

Dead trees sprouted green branches once again.

“Nashy, can I open my eyes now?” Cassie asked softly.

Nash said in a low voice, “Wait a little while longer…”

Cassie listened to him and kept her eyes closed, but she could feel the air getting fresher.

About ten minutes had passed, and all the true energy in Nash’s body had been exhausted.

The originally barren mountain was now full of green as if winter had passed and spring was coming.

The caterpillars hiding in the tree trunks seemed to have been affected too. They completed their transition from cocoons to butterflies.

The green grass was full of flowers.

The bright moonlight shone on the top of the mountain, casting a hazy glow all over Cassie in her Mallefic tribe clothes.
