Chapter 147 Evelyn's despair! Reveal it to him?

Chapter 147

What she wanted to do with the dark energy happened to her instead.

The pull on her body intensified, as if forcefully trying to drag her outward. Meanwhile, the dark, ominous sky began to descend on the beautiful and serene ocean.

The once tranquil waters now churned violently under the oppressive darkness.

Evelyn's heart throbbed when she saw the foul and corrupted power tainting the beautiful and calm ocean. The sight filled her with an unexpected sense of loss and despair.

The pristine blue waters turned murky, reflecting her growing helplessness.

An unfamiliar sense of anger rose within her at that moment. Her eyes were fierce; she could not bear to see the ocean being covered in pitch-black darkness. It hurt her. Her fists clenched, a fiery determination igniting within her.

Just as the strong pull on her body reached its limit, she was forcefully dragged out of the mystical place that was slowly being ruined. Her eyes could not move away from the scene of destruction.

Tears of frustration welled up in her eyes as she was torn away from the dismal sight.

The darkness consumed the last vestiges of light, leaving the ocean in complete turmoil.

The image burned into her mind, a cruel reminder of the overwhelming corruption, a horrifying view.

She wanted to protect the place, but she was powerless to do so as the force finally pulled her outside.

Her spirit felt battered and bruised as a deep sense of failure washed over her.

Her heart ached with helplessness.

"Huff… Huff… Huff…"

She panted heavily as her consciousness was pulled out of Daniel's body and returned to her own.

Her breaths came in ragged gasps, her chest heaving.

Her eyes were wide, and she clutched her chest while she panted.

The room around her spun, her legs feeling weak and unsteady.

She looked as if she had just awoken from a nightmare.

She took a minute to calm herself and slowly steadied her breathing. Her hands trembled slightly as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Her mind could still recall the ominous waves of corrupt energy that feasted on her espera as if chewing candy.

She felt… powerless.

She felt… powerless.

Powerless against that ominous black energy.

She felt a true sense of fear and rage.

But more importantly, what exactly had happened?

She looked at Oliver, who was sipping water while calmly watching her. His demeanor was relaxed, almost as if nothing unusual had occurred.

Then she realized what they had been doing.

She could not help but ask, "What happened?"

Oliver placed the cup down and said, "You were not coming out. I tried to shake you out, but you didn't budge an inch."

His voice was calm, but there was a hint of concern in his eyes. He wondered if she had sustained any serious mental wounds or not.

"So I had to force you out."

Evelyn's face instantly shifted from confusion to embarrassment. Her cheeks flushed a deep red as she looked down, avoiding his gaze.

She had completely forgotten when she was inside the calm ocean of espera. She had become too engrossed in that view, and her mind blanked out.

She could only imagine how much Oliver must have tried to wake her up or shake her off, but she resisted and did not leave.

This was so impolite. The situation could easily be misunderstood as her trying to pry deep into his secrets and body now that she had unrestricted access to it.

And Oliver could do nothing about it. He had voluntarily allowed her will inside, but forcing her out carelessly might have caused him to suffer greatly and affect his espera. In the worst case, he might even have been crippled if she had tried to make things difficult for him.

However, she really did not have such intentions. She herself did not know how she lost control, but something about that calm ocean and bountiful espera made her get lost in it.

"I am sorry! Please forgive me for my actions. I-I can assure you that I really did not have any ill intentions at that time. All of it happened without me realizing," she stood up and bowed to Oliver while apologizing profusely. She looked back at him with guilty eyes. "Please trust me, I did not have any bad intentions."

Her voice wavered, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

She felt really guilty. Due to her carelessness and lack of discipline, this happened.

Had her mind been stronger enough than it was now, she would have been able to resist the temptation and could have even resisted that black energy from before.

To her, Oliver had no reason to trust her either. For all he knew, she might have already seen more than she should have been allowed to.

It was impossible to tell. Of course, she had not done anything of that sort, but convincing him with her words alone was the best she could do since she had no concrete proof that she did not pry deep into him.

Now, she felt really anxious. If Oliver did not trust her, things might escalate.

Although it was his idea to try this whole thing, it did not lessen her responsibility.

She did not know what to do. If things turned messy, their clan's relations might also be affected because of her mistake.

Looking at the guilt-ridden girl, Oliver sighed. He was aware that she was clueless about what happened inside and did not do it intentionally. He rubbed the back of his neck, contemplating his next words.

"It's fine. I trust you," he said.

"Really?" she looked back at him in surprise. Oliver was exceptionally calm about this.

It was natural, after all. He did not worry about her seeing his secrets, thanks to Abyss energy.

If even someone like Ophelia was not able to pry through him, Evelyn could never do it. He was confident.

The Abyss energy was impossible for them to penetrate.

Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief as she slumped back into the chair. She looked at him with a serious face and asked,

"How can I make it up to you?" she added. "I know this is not a simple matter, and for you to believe my words so easily, I have to show my sincerity as well."

Her determination shone through her eyes as her earlier fear was slowly replaced by resolve.

Looking at her determined face, Oliver pondered. While he knew Evelyn did not intend the previous incident, she still wanted to make up for it.

With that serious face, he knew she would not back down easily, not that he intended to waste energy on persuasion.

"Well, I can't think of anything right now. I will let you know in the future if I need something from you," he said.

He gave her a reassuring smile, trying to ease her anxiety a little.

Evelyn thought about it for a moment and nodded. It was not like she could ask him to find something right away. She bit her lip, feeling a bit more at ease but still wanting to prove her sincerity.

After settling down, she recalled what happened inside his body.

"What was that foul black energy?"

This time, her tone was deeper and serious. She had a sliver of rage when she mentioned that ominous energy.

Oliver looked at her. Seeing her frown and hidden anger, he knew she was really associated with divinity.

It did not take a genius to guess that the Abyss and Heavens were polar opposites, incompatible existences.

It was natural for someone affiliated with divinity to feel loathing or negative emotions upon encountering Abyss energy.

Evelyn, despite being weak, still had a strong tie to the heavens. The Abyss energy was the literal opposite of divinity.

However, he had expected her to ask about it after witnessing it.

"Black energy? What are you talking about?"

Oliver looked at her and raised a brow in confusion.

"What!? It's that corrupt thing that was slowly covering the sky! The thing that was extending tendrils of darkness all over the space!" she slammed the desk as she stood up and looked at him.

Her voice trembled with urgency and frustration.

"Sky? What are you even talking about? I have no idea about any tendrils," Oliver had a blank expression on his face. He looked innocently clueless.

"Tell me you are joking..." she mumbled.

"What?" Oliver tilted his head at her as if he did not hear what she just said.

"Y-You don't know what that was!? How was it inside you then!? What's going on?" Evelyn muttered aloud as she saw his cluelessness. Her mind raced, trying to make sense of his ignorance.

Was he really clueless or…?

"Umm…"

"Seriously…" she had an incredulous look on her face when she realized that Oliver did not have a clue about the ominous thing rooted inside his body.

"You…" she paused and fell into thought. She contemplated whether to tell him about it or not.fгeewebnovёl.com
