Chapter 887: Chapter 881: Benefactor from a Past Life (Part 5)

The man turned his head to look at her, his eyes resting on her cheeks, revealing a hint of confusion: "Do you need something else?"

Tiana Thorne raised her eyes, looking at his slightly furrowed brows, every detail matching her benefactor from a past life.

Suddenly, she felt very nervous inside.

The man seemed patient, not leaving immediately but standing in front of her, waiting for her to continue speaking.

Finally, Tiana couldn’t help but ask him, "Um... I wanted to ask, what is your name?"

Upon hearing this, his previously gentle brows furrowed a bit more, seemingly puzzled by her actions.

Tiana didn’t want him to think she was infatuated. Truly, she wasn’t infatuated with his appearance. Such a feeling of past and present lives could only be truly understood by someone who remembered living for a thousand years.

Swallowing her throat, she explained again: "Today, you cleared my name, I had to thank you, so I wanted to ask for your name."

He replied, "My surname is Hawthorne."

She murmured, "Mr. Hawthorne..."

After speaking, her heart’s excited emotions surged wildly, and she tried to suppress them, her eyes behind the sunglasses full of expectation, softly asking, "Don’t you recognize me?"

He paused, looked at her seriously for a moment, shook his head, and then said, "You don’t need to dwell on it. This couple working together to commit crimes is not the first time. My sister was also deceived. I was just helping her."

He distanced himself from the matter very cleanly.

Tiana wanted to say more but felt it would sound ridiculous.

How could she say: I am the little fox you saved in a past life, now cultivated into human form, wanting to repay your kindness?

He would probably think she was insane and hand her over to the police.

Finally, she nodded, "Still, I must say thank you."

"You’re welcome."

After that, he turned and left with his two bodyguards, disappearing into the crowd.

The onlookers also dispersed.

Everything became calm again, yet Tiana’s heart couldn’t settle for a long time.

Her memory wasn’t wrong; she was sure this man was the benefactor who saved her in a past life.

However, he was different from the past, softer, and his demeanor was different.

In her memory, the benefactor from a past life was only gentle in front of her, and in the eyes of others, he was a cold, unsentimental doctor.

No matter how many lifetimes passed, his personality changed, but his appearance hadn’t changed at all.

If not for him, how would she have managed to cultivate into an immortal?

But the fact that he was her benefactor couldn’t be told now and had to remain buried in her heart.

"Sixteen."

Aiden Shaw arrived to find her with her head down, seemingly deep in thought.

She didn’t hear his voice.

He spoke again, "Sixteen."

Tiana withdrew her thoughts, looked up at him, "You’re back."

Aiden noticed the worry between her brows, a subtle change from her mood when she left in the morning, and asked softly, "What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?"

"No, let’s go, the art exhibition should be starting soon."

He nodded and pushed her forward.

Tiana spoke about the little incident earlier as they moved.

Aiden inquired, "Surname is Hawthorne?"

"Yes, with your abilities, finding out about someone shouldn’t be hard, right?"

With a beauty by his side, it was easy to find him.

Aiden Shaw replied, "Not hard, and besides, he helped you. It’s only right and proper that I should say thank you."
