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.”

“Okay.” He nodded and bent over once more. This time, she quickly got on his back, especially knowing

she might put everyone at risk the more she hesitated.

With Justin in his arms and Jenny on his back, he slowly walked toward the exit nearby. Even so, it still

felt like a long walk due to the rocks on the ground. Luckily, they reached the exit without any accident.

Alec handed Justin over, then, without asking Jenny, he lifted her in his arms and walked out through the

opening. Locked in his embrace, she could smell him. She couldn’t put her finger on his scent, but it

invoked a sense of security in her.

“Why? Are you feeling unwell?” Once they escaped successfully, he looked at her with worry. She shook.

her head and found it difficult to look into his eyes. “Are you okay? Why does your face look red? Do you

have a fever?” He tried to touch her forehead and soon concluded, “No signs of fever.”

Jenny blushed deeper during their exchange. She wasn’t running a fever-she was blushing because Alec

was carrying her in his arms under the eyes of the villagers, embarrasing her further. She nudged him.

“Put me down.”

“Oh, okay.” Even though Alec wanted to hold her longer, he agreed and put her on the ground.

After distancing herself from him, Jenny felt more like herself. Looking at the people around them, she

asked Alec, “Why are you here?”

“What do you think?” he redirected the question at her.

From the unbridled display of emotions in his gaze, she could easily guess his intention. “But how is that

possible? Did he really come for me?” she wondered. She had a lot of questions for him, but she didn’t

know how to start.

The village chief walked up to them. When he saw that Jenny was fine, he sighed in relief. “Dr. Walter,

I’m glad you’re safe. Your boyfriend is really good to you. Not only did he come to Clearwater in a

helicopter,

but the first thing he did after we cracked the opening was to get down there to search for you. He didn’t

hesitate at all. What a good man!”
