Let Me Hear Your Hearbeat

Chapter １８

[Alex perspective]

That day, Charlie didn't come.

After I got home, I had a high fever for several days.

These experiences made me determined to forget him and start over.

"Hey, well, it's me, boss, I'm ready to go to work.”

“Yes, I will go back tomorrow and report on time. OK, thank you, boss. "

After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Life must go on, and I can't stop again because of him.

I was very popular and liked by children since I was a child, so I chose to continue my work in the square. I wore a big bear mascot as my work in the square.

"Mom!”

“Big bear!”

“How lovely! "

"Mom, can I take pictures with the big bear?"

I picked up the little girl and took a photo with her.

"Hey hey, thank you!”

“Big bear! "

The child's immature voice made me feel happy.

The little child kissed me on the head, and made my heart happy.

"There is a big bear here!"

"Big bear plays with me!"

"Wow!"

……

More and more children gathered around, and I enjoyed playing with them.

And at that moment, I heard some long-lost voices.

"Hello, Charlie, do you have anything to explain to your fans about the last bar fight?"

"And you came here this time, and what for?

"What a shameful identity for the Emperor."

"It's disgusting."

……

Listening to the man's insult to Charlie, and watching Charlie sit on the bench in the square without saying a word, Iwas so angry.

"I can't stand it."

I rushed forward, clenched my fist and punched him right in the nose.

"Who are you?”

“You dare hit me?”

I didn't say a word, I just kept punching.`

In the square, a big fluffy bear beat a man and the children cheered beside him.

I didn't stop until the man ran away.

"Bah, a coward”

I didn’t know when Charlie appeared behind me.

"You ... your punch, It’s very familiar.

“I think I have seen it somewhere”

“Do I know you? ", Charlie said in amazement.

I hurriedly motioned with my hand, turned around and headed for the crowd.

"Alex", Charlie called my name.

I reflexively turned back and stayed where I was.

"Why are you avoiding me?”

“Or because of the thing that I did the last time that makes you angry at me? "

For a moment, I couldn't understand which time was the last time he meant.

"Excuse me, sir, are you mistaking me for someone else? I lowered my voiced to speak to avoid getting noticed by Charlie.

"I'm not who you say I am. I'm just drawing a knife to help."

I almost exhausted all of my strength, just to control my voice from shaking.

"If there is nothing more, I am leaving now."

I had already decided to draw a line between us, I can't continue to have any involvement with him.

"The last time, this is the last time I will help you.

“From this moment there wouldn’t be any involvement between him and me. "
