Chapter 187 Emerging From the Backlight

The man approached them until he was standing right in front of her.

“Alec…Faust?” She stared at the familiar face in disbelief and wondered if it was an illusion.

“Yes. Can you walk?” He was overcome by an inexplicable mix of emotions when he found her safe and sound. He wanted so badly to pull her into an embrace, but he decided to act cautiously, worried that she might flinch at his touch.

She nodded at him in a daze and didn’t ask questions about his arrival. She looked at Justin in her arms.” Can you lift him out?”

“Sure,” Alec readily agreed and took Justin from her. However, he waited for her to go with him. It took. him much difficulty to get to her, and he wanted to make sure she was in his sight.

She propped herself up with a hand on the wall and limped behind him as she endured the pain from her right calf. Noticing her limping, he halted and bent over. “Get on. I’ll carry you.”

“No…no, I can walk.” She shook her head. How could she possibly have him carry her on his back when they were not that close to each other? Plus, he must have been married to Yvonne. She couldn’t accept the idea of being carried by a married man on his back.

“Get on my back. Or, I’ll let him go and lift you instead,” Alec said commandingly.

She paused to deliberate, for she knew he could definitely execute the threat. She clenched her jaw and warned him, “You’d better not let go of that kid.”
