“Here! I see her, she’s up ahead!” someone shouted.
Then more footsteps echoed.
“We can’t let her get away!”
“If she escapes, the Drogo family will be finished! Where will Drogo find such a beautiful and lively daughter-in-law again!”
“The Drogo family promised that whoever helps them catch their daughter-in-law will be rewarded with
1000 dollars!”
1000 dollars, in this backward village, was a big amount of money. The villagers who came to catch her became even more excited upon discovering her trail, their eyes shining!
As the crowd chasing her got closer and closer, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Worriedly, she looked at her belly, relieved that she had been on all fours and her belly hadn’t hit the ground.
But her elbow joints and knees were throbbing with pain.
However, at a time like this, she couldn’t care less about her injured body. All she had to do was run!
She had to run, even if it was for the sake of the child in her belly!
Her body seemed to have an instinct telling her that no matter what, she had to protect this child, because this child was important to her…
This kind of importance seemed to come not only from maternal love, but also from some other reason.
But she couldn’t remember!
The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. Just as it seemed like she was about to be caught, suddenly, she saw a car approaching not far away!
The bright headlights stung her eyes!
But at this moment, the car lights were her last hope of escaping from here!
She exerted all her strength, waving her hand towards the car and running towards it.
The car slammed on the brakes just a few meters away from
Bathed in the fight of the car heights the ked might a the men wilting in the drivers
The two of them stared at each other through the car window.
Kit could hardly believe what he was seeing.
It was… Tina!
Even though she was wearing dirty clothes and her hair was messy, he immediately recognized her as
Tina, the person he had been searching for for six months, the person he loved!
Kit trembled as he reached out to unbuckle his seatbelt, opened the car door, and hurried to Tina’s side, afraid that it was just a dream in front of him.
“Save me, please, save me, and my baby in my belly!” she pleaded desperately, her face full of anguish.
“Tina, what happened? Is someone trying to harm you?” Kit asked urgently.
Just then, footsteps approached, and soon a large group of people, shining flashlights, came towards them.
Tina instinctively covered her face with her hand to shield herself from the light.
“Catch her, Drogo’s wife is here!” someone shouted.
In no time, those people surrounded Kit and Tina.
“No, I… I’m not…” Tina nervously grabbed Kit’s arm, as if he was her only lifeline in front of this unfamiliar man!
Kit looked at Tina’s pale face and her slightly trembling hand, and suddenly understood something.
“She’s my friend, I’ve been looking for her!” Kit spoke to the villagers.
“What? Just because you say she’s your friend, she’s your friend? This woman was saved by Drogo and is Drogo’s wife!”
the villagers shouted.
Obviously, if Kit didn’t hand Tina over, they would take direct action.
The other side had the advantage in numbers, and if they really started a fight, Kit would have no chance of winning.
Tina’s face became even more grim, but Kit remained calm and said, “Since my friend was saved by Drogo, I can offer Drogo’s family a compensation of
100,000!”
As soon as they heard the number 100,000, the expressions of the villagers changed.
After all, 100,000 was a huge sum of money in this remote village. With this money, one could marry several wives.
After a while, Drogo also came over. When he found out that
Kit was willing to pay 100,000, his eyes flickered and he said, “Alright, give me the money now. No money, no leaving!”
“Okay! I can transfer the money to you through my phone!” Kit said.
The village was backward, and not everyone had a phone. As for mobile transfers, even fewer people would use this function.
Fortunately, the village chief’s phone had the transfer function activated. So, with the unanimous agreement of the villagers, the village chief helped Drogo’s family receive the money first.
Kit transferred 100,000 on the spot to the village chief’s account. After the village chief confirmed it, Drogo finally agreed to release Kit.
However, at this moment, some of the villagers greedily stared at Kit, as if they were looking at a fat sheep.
Naturally, Kit immediately noticed their intentions. “I came here after confirming with my friend. Before getting off the car, I sent my location to my friend. If something happens to me here, or if I don’t meet up with my friend within an hour, my friend will immediately call the police.”
As soon as he said that, the few villagers who had been eyeing him changed their expressions instantly.
The village chief’s face darkened as he said to those villagers,
“Enough, let him go! Don’t mess things up!”
Finally, Kit drove away from the scene with Tina.
Along the way, Tina sat in the passenger seat, her head down, feeling restless.
Kit occasionally glanced at Tina from the corner of his eye.
Even though it had been over half a year since she disappeared after falling into the water, Emerald
City was still searching for her. However, everyone had already lost hope, hoping only to find her body.
The Stephenson family had even prepared a grave for her, but they hadn’t put her name on the tombstone.
Perhaps there was still a trace of hope deep in their hearts.
And he never imagined that he would find her faster than the
Hunter family and the Stephenson family!
Because the Hunter family and the Stephenson family were mainly searching for Tina’s whereabouts in
Emerald City and the surrounding counties and cities.
So he deliberately stayed away from those areas.
After he left the entertainment industry, he simply followed the waterway where Tina disappeared and drove downstream.
Originally, he had only heard that there was a ritual in the village where Tina escaped tonight, so he wanted to go and take a look. He didn’t expect to encounter Tina.
It was like… it was arranged by fate.
Kit took Tina to a small town dozens of miles away and checked into a small hotel in the town.
Tina looked up and met Kit’s concerned eyes. “Tha… thank you…”
Kit led Tina into the hotel room.
It was a double room, but quite spacious. Besides the two beds, there was a small sitting area with a sofa and a coffee table.
Seeing Tina’s uneasy expression, Kit explained, “You can sleep inside. You can choose any of the two beds. I’ll sleep on the sofa. The reason I didn’t book two rooms is because you’re pregnant, and I’m worried about any unforeseen circumstances. If I were in another room, I wouldn’t be able to
What are you to me? know. So… it’s just for your safety.”
Tina looked up and stared at the person in front of her.
Her anxious heart was calmed by his words.
This man was the one who brought her out of the village, the one who saved her. And for some reason, he gave her a familiar feeling.
Moreover, when this man got off the car, he called her Tina, so… “Do we know each other?”
“What?” Kit was taken aback.
“Do we know each other?” Tina asked.
“You… don’t know me?” Kit widened his eyes and looked at
Tina.
Tina bit her lip. “I… lost my memory. I don’t remember anything from before. Because I was saved by the Drogo family, everyone in the village says I’m Drogo’s wife. But… I know, I’m not Drogo’s wife at all, and the child in my belly is not his!”
Kit looked at Tina in shock. She lost her memory… she actually lost her memory!
“You don’t remember anything from before?” he asked.
“Yeah.” Tina nodded. “Every time I try to remember things from before, I get a headache.”
“You… are called Tina!” Kit murmured.
Tina, was that her name? Tina wondered to herself. “And what about you? What’s your name?”
“I… I’m called Kit,” he said.
