Ren stared at Vega with a confused look. He didn't understand why he said those words just now.
"Vega, I ..." He swallowed hard.
Vega removed Ren's hand from hers and moved away from the man on the sofa. "Do not touch me."
Vega's trembling voice pierced Ren's heart. He looked at the woman with his heart breaking into a million pieces.
"I don't want you to hate me," said Ren with a tone of despair.
He respected Vega's wish to stay away from him, so he didn't force his way to come closer. He just looked at Vega from where he sat with teary eyes.
"I want to know ... why," said Vega as she rubbed her brown eyes that were streaming with tears. She steeled her heart and stared back at Ren closely.
She had dreamed of seeing Ren when the kidnappers were about to remove her memory. She didn't remember what the man said to her at that moment, but she could remember his face now.
