Chapter 510: Sorry is useless, you have to hug me! (First update, please subscribe!)

~7 min read 1,233 words

The cool night breeze blew slowly.

Sonya didn't know if she felt the chill or was surprised to see the scenes of the past, but she couldn't help but shiver.

"What... what I saw, is it all real?"

She saw John urging Lorna to get in the car, saw Lorna crazily slamming the police officer, and also saw the police swarm up and subdue her.

Su Quan said Lorna was too brave, said Lorna was self-important, and she thought Su Quan was shirking responsibility, but what she saw was real, then...

"Whether it is true or false, you can go ask John. I just want to tell you that the word 'empathy' is not suitable for a listener."

"Just as I don't know how deep your and Lorna's feelings are, and you don't know how strong my strength is."

Sonya nodded, somewhat able to understand why Su Quan was noncommittal about their adventurous help. It wasn't that he had no conscience, but...

A poor person takes the bread they fought to the death to grab and takes the initiative to give it to a rich person, thinking the rich person is homeless and wandering the streets, not knowing that the rich person is well-fed and warm, and can go home at any time.

The rich person might thank the poor person for the bread, but they would definitely not think the poor person was their savior.

Su Quan could bring her here without warning, so naturally, he could easily avoid police pursuit, so he said, "Without you, we could have left safely all the same."

It sounded harsh, but it was a fact!

So when she used the position of a savior to question and accuse him with the reason that Lorna was caught because she was saving them, he refused to admit it and retorted directly.

"Sorry, I..."

"Sorry is useless, you have to hug me."

Sonya looked at Su Quan, dumbfounded, then suddenly burst into laughter and opened her arms.

As you wish.

A moment later, Sonya let go of Su Quan and said seriously: "I should still apologize to you; my attitude was indeed bad."

"Lorna... when my mutant identity was exposed and I was being hunted, it was she who found me when I was desperate and had fallen into darkness; it was she who gave me light and hope."

"She is very important to me!"

"So no matter what, no matter what price I have to pay, even if it's my life, I must rescue her!"

Su Quan nodded in understanding. The absence of the character Eclipse had caused quite a few changes in the plot.

For example, Lorna—in the original plot, she was Eclipse's girlfriend, and after being caught this time, she discovered she was pregnant.

Now, let alone pregnant, she didn't even have a boyfriend.

Take Sonya, for example—in the original plot, her status in the mutant underground organization was the same as Sage's, both being auxiliary personnel left behind.

But now, she had clearly replaced Eclipse's position and become one of the organization's big three.

And...

In the original plot, she was John's girlfriend, and their relationship was very stable.

But once, in order to save John, she modified Clarice's memory, making Clarice think she and John were a couple, thereby stimulating her potential to use a portal to save John and the others.

Later, although it was explained clearly, the relationship between Clarice, John, and her was already tangled.

What about now?

Su Quan had specifically asked; she had no boyfriend.

"You can bring me here, so you should be able to bring Lorna anywhere, right? If we figure out Lorna's location, you..."

"Can you help me rescue her?"

Sonya looked at Su Quan with burning eyes and said in a desperate gamble: "As long as you can rescue Lorna, I will agree to any condition you have!"

"Any condition?"

"Any condition!"

Su Quan smacked his lips and shook his head, saying: "I really want to agree to you; after all, you are very beautiful, you know what I mean, right? But even without your request, I would still rescue Lorna."

Sonya was stunned.

Su Quan continued: "I told her I liked her the first time I saw Lorna."

"Ah... then why did you watch her get caught? With your ability, you should have been able to save her, right?" Sonya asked, puzzled.

Su Quan explained with a smile: "Can't you tell? She was already sick and headstrong at the time. Even if I could save her this time, what about next time? And the time after that?"

"You... you did it on purpose? Just to make her learn a lesson and remember it?" Sonya said in surprise.

Su Quan nodded, then shook his head and said: "Part of the reason, yes. Another part is that I wanted to be a hero saving a beauty."

"A... hero saving a beauty?"

Sonya was a bit confused; this answer was really somewhat unexpected.

Su Quan explained with a smile: "You should know Lorna's personality very well. It's not that easy to make her open her heart and make me jump around in her heart. I definitely have to create opportunities and use some small tricks."

"Although 'hero saving a beauty' is cliché, it cannot be denied that it is indeed very effective many times."

Listening to Su Quan's grand talk about how to use the "hero saving a beauty" method to pursue Lorna, Sonya couldn't help but feel it was somewhat absurd.

"You told me your plan; aren't you afraid I'll tell Lorna?" she couldn't help but ask.

Su Quan looked at her: "Will you?"

Sonya hesitated.

The routine of watching Lorna get caught and then being a hero saving a beauty sounded somewhat shameless.

But if he were really that kind of shameless person, why would he tell her the plan without reservation?

He clearly could have not said it, clearly could have taken the opportunity to agree to her request, and then...

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell her. Even if I like her, it doesn't mean I should save her unconditionally. A confession is just expressing feelings, not demanding a relationship, nor is it confirming a relationship. I have no unconditional responsibility to her, and she has none to me!"

"Besides, even if you tell her, it doesn't mean she won't accept it; it's like how we have heard countless truths but still can't live this life well."

"I... I can't talk you down, but you cannot hurt her, otherwise I will never let you go!" Sonya said viciously.

Su Quan's expression gradually became odd: "Usually, these words are only said after a rival in love or a competitor has failed. You toward Lorna..."

"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!"

Sonya directly denied it three times.

Good guy, I just said it casually; did your reaction have to be so intense? Could it be that I guessed right?

"Don't look at me with those eyes. I admit Lorna is very important in my heart, but not in the way you think!"

"If there were no Lorna, there wouldn't be the me of today, do you understand?"

"Understand."

"You... do you really understand?" Sonya didn't believe it.

Su Quan laughed dumbly: "Born free, love without fear, right."

"..."

Sonya made a bitter face and said helplessly: "Forget it, think whatever you want."
