edge of the cliff at the critical moment and
In the last second of the collapse, Joseph used his body to protect Chloe and rolled in the opposite direction. They finally escaped!
“Uh…!” His back slammed into a rock and he let out a painful groan.
This collision was really not light. It hurt so much that his face was covered in cold sweat and quickly blended with the rain.
“Are you hurt?” Chloe raised her head in his arms and looked nervously at his pale face.
“No.” Joseph suppressed the pain and his magnetic voice revealed no flaws.
Chloe was still in a state of shock, her drenched body limp in front of his heaving chest, and she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Why… didn’t you tell me?” Joseph stared at her with his long wet eyelashes hanging down, his throat extremely hoarse.
“What?” Chloe’s heart trembled, avoiding his glistening peach blossom eyes.
“Why didn’t you tell me… Our first meeting was thirteen years ago? Why didn’t you tell me… You are the girl I saved here thirteen years ago!”
Joseph gasped for breath and said this. Strong bitterness and sorrow intertwined, almost corroding his internal organs.
Chloe’s throat tightened, and her dirty little face was so white that it was almost transparent.
So, just now, he suddenly called her Raya… Was it because he remembered it?
Why did he remember it at that moment?
Why was he late for thirteen years?
It was too late. It was really too late. She would rather he never remember who she was for the rest of his life.
“Tell me, Chloe… Say something!”
Joseph could not restrain his intense.emotions. His fingertips pinched Chloe’s chin, forcing her to look into his scarlet eyes!
“When I married you, why was my name Raya? Do you remember?” Chloe looked at him with a heavy gaze, her heart tightening.
Joseph’s face changed, and his heart hurt from her sharp words.
Of course he remembered.
At that time, he saved her and asked for her name. She was silent, so he casually named her “Raya”.
However, Joseph never expected that his casual joke, the girl he saved by chance, would appear by his side again thirteen years later as his wife.
It was still hidden.
“Ah, it seems that you have remembered.”
She smiled lightly, “Actually, there is no need for you to think about it. I have never expected you to remember me.”
“After all, in your life, I have always been à passer-by. Whether it was thirteen years ago, three years ago, or now.”
Joseph’s breathing was hard.
Although he was not wrong in this matter, whether it was the thing that he had saved her or forgotten her.
But he just felt guilty.
The girl in front of him had been missing him for thirteen years, but he turned around and left her behind.
She kept chasing after his footsteps and merging into his world, but he cruelly shut her out and coldly closed the door to his
heart.
“I’m sorry…”
Joseph’s thin lips pursed and there was a lump in his throat, “I really didn’t know that you were that girl. If I knew…”
“Even if you knew, you would still divorce me, wouldn’t you?”
Chloe smiled in relief. Now that things had come to this, although she felt sorry for him, she had no attachment to him. “Whether I am Chloe or Raya, they are just names. They will not change our relationship.”
“Also, you don’t have to apologize to me. Instead, I should thank you.”
“Back then, after you saved me, you left. I didn’t know your name, nor did I know your identity, nor did I… say thank you to you.”
“Chloe… Even so, why did you marry me?”
This was what Joseph had always wanted to know. It had troubled him for too long and tortured him for too long. “Just because I saved you, just because you owe me?”
“It doesn’t matter, Joseph. It’s all in the past. What’s the point of pursuing this matter after a marriage that ended with nothing?”
Chloe closed her eyes again. It was as if she had once again closed the door to her heart that she had finally opened with great difficulty. Her shoulders trembled. “Now is not the time to talk about this. I am very cold. Let’s go quickly.”
In the heavy rain, the ex-husband and wife who had once fought against each other had temporarily reached an agreement. They were more or less injured and could only support each other to advance with difficulty.
By chance, Chloe’s cell phone had long since been broken, but Joseph’s cell phone had no signal at all at this time!
“It is certain that we are on the back of Mount Quny… Otherwise, the cell phone can receive the signal.” Chloe staggered and panted.
