Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1519

A car would pass by every now and then, and Alexander would wave desperately, but none of the cars were willing to stop.

As the day turned to night, the temperature dropped significantly.

Nala had suffered greatly in the past two days, both physically and mentally, and she had reached the point of breaking down.

Alexander had no choice but to keep going. He carried Nala on his back, stumbling along the road.

"Big brother..." Nala's voice trembled. "It's getting dark, and I'm scared!"

"It's okay," Alexander turned and smiled at her. "I'll take you home."

"Big brother, why don't we go back..."

"What?"

Nala looked at Alexander's feet, where blisters and bloody heels were visible.

"Does it hurt?" Nala's face was streaked with tears. "Big brother, put me down. We should go back..."

"Nala?"

Nala burst into tears. "That house is broken and cold, but... at least your feet won't bleed!"

Alexander was momentarily stunned, taking some time to understand the love hidden in her stumbling words.

This little girl was willing to return to the place where she had been kidnapped just to spare him from so much suffering.

Alexander smiled, gazing up at the sky where a line of birds was heading home.

He believed that no matter how challenging the journey, he would eventually find his way back home with this little girl.

"Silly." Alexander didn't put her down but continued walking forward with her on his back. "It doesn't hurt at all. But we can't go back to that place."
