“I will never leave you again, I will never leave you, not even for a step…”
Logan Bennett trembled as he murmured, tears streaming down his face, his heart surging with boundless joy.
Because, the appearance of Isabel Norton before him was almost exactly that of his sister Lauren Bennett on Earth—the sister he had depended on for more than a decade, the sister he had secretly loved for many years, the sister whose face had been ruined by acid.
After crossing into another world, Logan Bennett had nearly collapsed, even swearing to the moon in the sky that he would do whatever it took to return to his sister’s side. He never expected that his sister would suddenly appear before his eyes like this.
Was all of this fate? Or was it the favor of the heavens?
But no matter what, at this moment Logan Bennett felt an unprecedented happiness, his heart so full of joy and relief that it was about to burst.
Chapter 8: Princess Zhi Ning!
At first, when Isabel Norton saw that the young man before her looked exactly like her younger brother, her emotions were incredibly complicated. There was a bit of comfort, but even more endless sorrow, so much so that she didn’t even notice Logan Bennett’s stunned expression.
Later, when Logan Bennett suddenly rushed over and hugged her, she was shocked, embarrassed, and angry. After being stunned for a while, she tried to break free, but Logan Bennett was holding her too tightly, and she couldn’t get away at all.
When Owen Carter noticed, she rushed in at lightning speed, instantly shocked and furious, shouting, “What are you doing?”
Then, she grabbed Logan Bennett’s arm and gave it a sharp twist, directly dislocating his arm.
Even though his arm was dislocated, Logan Bennett felt no pain at all, still clinging tightly to Isabel Norton.
“Sis, Lauren Bennett, we’ll never be apart again. I want to marry you, I want to protect you for my whole life!” Logan Bennett blurted out all the words he hadn’t had time to confess on Earth.
At this moment, Isabel Norton calmed down, because Logan Bennett’s words were so foolish, so sincere, coming entirely from the depths of his soul, completely impossible to fake.
“Jingyu, don’t hurt her,” Isabel Norton said. Then she stopped struggling, gazing gently at Logan Bennett’s ecstatic and bewildered eyes, and softly said, “You… let go of me first. My name is Isabel Norton, not Lauren Bennett. You’ve mistaken me for someone else…”
Logan Bennett was stunned and said, “Sis, I’m Logan Bennett, I’m the Logan Bennett you raised since I was little.”
Isabel Norton replied, “I really don’t know anyone named Logan Bennett.”
Logan Bennett’s mind gradually cleared, and he looked carefully at the woman before him.
Whether it was her temperament or her appearance, she was just like his sister Lauren Bennett. Of course, because of her noble status, she had an extra air of dignity and grace. And perhaps because of her privileged life, her features seemed even more exquisite and beautiful than Lauren Bennett’s—truly a breathtaking beauty.
But that gentle, watery feeling, that look in her eyes, was exactly the same.
If he could cross over, then his sister could have crossed over too, right? Logan Bennett immediately asked, “Were you born in this world?”
Isabel Norton was taken aback and nodded, “Of course, I was born in the Earl of Tianshui’s residence.”
Logan Bennett said, “Then… do you have any other memories in your mind, as if they belonged to someone else?”
Isabel Norton was startled, then shook her head.
Logan Bennett instantly felt disappointed. Could it be that the woman before him wasn’t his sister Lauren Bennett? If Lauren Bennett had crossed over, she should have memories of Earth.
Immediately after, Logan Bennett thought of another possibility—could this be a case of past and present lives, and the Isabel Norton before him was the next life of Lauren Bennett?
Yes, that must be it, that must be it. They looked almost identical, so they must be the same person. Even if their bodies and memories were different, their souls were the same deep down.
Logan Bennett kept telling himself that the woman before him was Lauren Bennett in this life, only she herself didn’t know it.
His coming before her was definitely fate, it had to be fate.
Isabel Norton gently said, “Can you tell me stories about her? The sister Lauren Bennett you mentioned.”
Logan Bennett nodded and said, “I’m an orphan. I never knew who my parents were. I grew up in an orphanage. When I was four, I was adopted by a family…”
Logan Bennett began to tell the story of him and his sister Lauren Bennett.
When he spoke of his adoptive parents dying in an accident, Isabel Norton was already crying again.
When he spoke of Lauren Bennett’s face being ruined by acid thrown by a bad person, Isabel Norton was sobbing uncontrollably.
“Because my sister didn’t want to live anymore, I decided that before killing that bastard, I would immediately propose to her… to give her the courage to go on living. Even though her face was ruined, in my heart she would always be the most beautiful.”
At this point, even Owen Carter’s expression was moved.
“That night, under a sky full of shooting stars, I used a machine to record my proposal to my sister, planning to give it to her. But I was struck by a meteor, and when I woke up, I was already in a strange place…”
Logan Bennett finished telling the story of him and Lauren Bennett. He didn’t mention crossing over, only saying it was a very faraway place, a completely different land.
