Chapter 64 Adeline's Secret
It had happened in her sophomore year.
She and her family had attended old Mrs. Riley's birthday party because she had been Logan's fiancée. After receiving the gifts, Old Mrs. Riley had let young people enjoy themselves instead of accompanying her.
Then, someone suggested playing hide and seek. Adeline and Viola had hidden behind the Riley family's villa in a thatched hut on the hill. And Viola had locked the door to prevent others from finding them. After waiting a long time, no one had found them. But unexpectedly, there had suddenly been a raging fire outside. The fire had rapidly spread with the help of the mountain wind and immediately surrounded the hut. So they could not get out. And they soon felt dizzy because of the smoke.
When she was about to lose consciousness, her three brothers had come. They had kicked the door open with a bang, rushed in, picked Viola up from the ground, and carried her out. But no one had noticed Adeline lying not far away.
"Help... me... "
Her voice had become hoarse because of the smoke, so she could only make a weak sound. But her brothers had directly rushed out with Viola. They had not even looked back. Maybe they had not heard her voice.
She had desperately watched them leave, feeling envious. And she had thought maybe she deserved to die in the fire because she had been born without blessings. But she had been unwilling to die at such a young age!
When she had been desperate and anxious, she had heard Logan loudly calling her name.
"Adeline! Is Adeline in there? She is still inside!"
She couldn't hear his words clearly but had known people were persuading him out of coming in. The fire had destroyed the beams, so the roof would collapse anytime. The situation had been dangerous.
Then, she had vaguely seen a tall man resolutely rushing into the flames. He hesitantly hugged her and shouted, "Adeline, don't sleep! Wake up! I'll take you out. You will not die!"
She had never expected Logan to be so strong. After all, he had looked thin.
He had said she would not die. Those words had sounded pleasing to the ear. But she had been so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She vaguely remembered the hut had collapsed as soon as Logan had carried her out. Before passing out, she had smiled because of her survival. It had been a narrow escape.
It was Logan who had given her a second life and let her know someone was willing to sacrifice his life for her. He had made her realize she was not inferior to Viola.
When she woke up, he anxiously sat by the hospital bed. Seeing this, she had made up her mind to marry him. After all, he had risked his life for her.
Recalling the past, Adeline let out a long sigh. After carefully thinking about it, she found she had had no feelings for Logan before the fire. There had been no passion in their relationship. But from that day on, she had been determined to marry and become more enthusiastic toward him.
Because Logan had saved her life, she had repeatedly forgiven him. He had barely accompanied her. Judie had frequently appeared in their life. And they did not share the same values.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Adeline became more rational now. She knew there were a lot of incompatibilities between them. But she had ignored them in the past because he had saved her life. It might not necessarily be bad for them to have failed to get married.
But was Curtis suitable for her?
At the thought of this question, she suddenly wondered what his posts would be like. She couldn't help turning on her phone. When she opened the app, Curtis happened to post a posting.
