"Clap..."
When they returned to the flat ground from the ruins, there was a burst of applause outside.
A lot of medical and rescue teams, volunteers, and the local people, all surrounded there and expected the success of rescue. When they saw the survivor who was carried out on stretchers and the others came out one after another, some people clapped their hands first. Then the applause moved more people to cheer for them.
Simon, however, was very calm. He held her hand and walked through the crowd.
Emily followed him closely. Listening to the applause all the way, she had an illusion of glory. It seemed that Simon see through what she was thinking, he put his hand around her shoulder. "They applauded not only for me and the rescue team, but also for you!"
She felt a little ashamed after hearing his remark, because she went there only for Simon. She felt it lucky that she didn't make any trouble.
Looking back at the ruins, Emily thought for a moment and said sincerely, "There are a lot of firemen and soldiers here who saved so many people regardless of hardship and sacrifice. But I think that you are also a hero like them!"
Just now, she noticed that many female nurses and female volunteers looked at Simon with admiration. If it weren't for his big hand holding her, they would have rushed over excitedly.
Simon raised his eyebrows and asked slowly, "Do you still dream of marrying a soldier now?"
When he went out just now, he looked serious. But he regained his languid look now and was staring at her with his smiling attractive eyes.
"..." Emily was embarrassed.
She said that a long time ago, but he still remembered it!
Emily thought that Simon was so narrowminded...
Feeling that the strength on her shoulder increased, Emily raised her head subconsciously. With a faint smile and light in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "I don't expect to be a hero. Mrs. Chin, you must remember that I am just your man, your husband!"
The last few words impressed her a lot.
Emily lowered her eyelids to conceal her embarrassment caused by Simon's teases.
When she walked back to the tent, she couldn't help thinking that his injured knee knelt down and he treated the wounded with a serious and dedicated look.
Even if he didn't wear the white gown, he still looked great and admirable.
Emily raised her eyelids, bit her lip, and quietly peered at his perfect profile. Then, she heard him say, "Since you want to see me, don't sneak around!"
"..." She couldn't help rolling her eyes.
The time spent in the disaster area was very long, but it was also very fast. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. A lot of soldiers and firemen had left, and other people had also been transferred.
If she hadn't been on the spot, she would know that mankind was so weak and powerless in the face of nature.
There was a camera on Emily's neck. She recorded the quiet scene after the earthquake in the disaster area. She believed that the place would be rebuilt better like the other areas.
The things were almost all packed up, because she only had a mountaineering bag. All the camera equipments were handed back to her colleague who had left early in the morning. Simon was the same as her and even took less stuffs, only two or three pieces of clean clothes. The tent they had been sleeping in these days had been torn down.
When Simon took over the mountaineering bag in her hand, Emily heard someone call her from behind.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
