Sion arrived at the center of the earthquake site with Nevaeh by taxi.
This place was now turned into a tourist site which was a must-go for almost every tourist in River Green.
The broken houses and torn cracks would bring people to the old days of the deadly earthquake.
Standing in front of a ruined building, Nevaeh said sadly, "I was far away from it at that time, but this building suddenly collapsed in front of me, and only a roof was left..."
Sion became serious as he entered this place. There was a deep frown on his face as if he were back on that day.
Those memories lay so heavily upon their hearts that both of them even didn't know what should say.
"Let's go there and have a look."
Neveah pointed at another side, "Do you remember there was a little girl there? Thanks to your notice or she might have been amputated at any later time."
Sion nodded his head.
It was a 5-year-old girl at that time, and if he didn't show up on time, her legs would probably have been amputated because of being pressed for a long time.
"I've got in touch with the related organization last year and they told me that they are now living a happy life."
So she didn't bother more.
Nevaeh sighed, "I never felt tired at that time though the rescue was carried out day and night. One life still matters... how small our human is in the face of nature."
"No one is small."
Sion looked at the ruins around him, as if he saw the mess from the earthquake.
Coming to a landslide, he stopped instantly.
A voice suddenly appeared, "Sion... come on, don't sleep... you will be rescued!"
Seeing Sion staring at one place and being absent-minded, Nevaeh sensed something wrong. She said softly, "you were trapped here in the aftershock. Fortunately, you were in a stable mood and held on."
Sion turned around at her, and said seriously, "Thanks for your encouragement and help. I appreciate it."
He participated in the rescue with the fire brigade after treating seriously-injured patients at that time.
Unfortunately, they suffered from an aftershock and he was trapped under the ruins.
He got injured and suffered confusion, he could barely sense this world.
He felt extremely tired and cold, and he just wanted to sleep.
However, as he was about to lose consciousness a voice from outside came, calling his name and kept speaking to him constantly as if she were not afraid of another aftershock.
Her voice, encouragement and accompaniment rescued Sion.
And when the collapsed stone bricks were removed, what he saw for first sight was Nevaeh's anxious face.
At that moment Sion told himself that he owed his life to her.
Nevaeh smiled with relief, pretending she was also recalling the past days, "and since then, we got together."
Her spirits dropped as speaking, she softly asked, "sometimes I cannot tell whether you date me because of this thing or because you love me."
Sion brought his attention back but didn't know how to answer this question.
Looking at his face, Nevaeh got close and kissed his cheek, staring at him with the most affectionate glance, "anyway, what you need to know is I will love you forever."
Sion lifted his eyes, only to find Nevaeh's heart was occupied by him.
He didn't turn her down.
