Chapter 15
It was then I finally got a clear look at the man’s face. His striking features were reminiscent of a celebrity, but he had a cold demeanor. Standing there, he radiated an untouchable and unapproachable air.
I would’ve remembered this man if I knew him, but I couldn’t. No matter how much I tried to recall, it was futile. “Do I know you?”
The man was afraid to cause a misunderstanding and quickly explained, “Two days ago, we sent you to the ER after you fell down the stairs.”
Oh.
Before this, I wholeheartedly believed Steven was the one who sent me to the emergency room after following me and hearing the loud thud. I guess I was wrong.
I looked at the man before me. “Thank you. You saved my life.” He was quite literally my life savior, and I couldn’t have just repaid him with verbal thanks. “I don’t know how else to thank you.”
He smiled faintly. “Well, I happen to need your help.”
Since becoming a mother, I had been a stay–at–home wife, focusing on taking care of my husband and son.
Of course, I couldn’t have foreseen the future–that was now–at that time. However, in many people’s eyes, I had long been isolated from society, let alone having the ability to help others.
I was perplexed. “My help?”
“Yes.” He nodded and then said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Zane Huxham.”
Then, he bent down to introduce the quiet little girl beside him, who had a doll–like face. “And this is Willow Huxham.”
I crouched and gazed at the girl, extending my hand at her. “Hello, I’m Annalise Jamison.”
Willow turned to Zane, her expression one of helplessness, but he encouraged her silently with a supportive look.
Finally, she shook hands with me and took her time to say, “Nice to meet you.”
Her hand was as soft as a marshmallow. I smiled, replying, “Nice to meet you, too.”
