Beloved Old Lover

The water poured in more and more violently and the dark clouds above could no longer stand firm because they were too heavy. The rain suddenly fell.

Emily trembled, trying to grip the tips of her toes on the rocks. On the opposite side of her, Kevin was also moving as fast as he could.

– Don’t go anymore, Emily, stand still and wait for me. He shouted when he saw her almost slip.

Obeying him, she did not move anymore. However, because she tried to cling tightly to the stream bed, she soon had cramps. Even though she tried not to move, the pain transmitted from her muscles made it impossible for her to hold on for long.

“Emily, no…” Kevin panicked when he saw her suddenly fall.

The stream of water suddenly widened the distance he was trying to close. Emily screamed in pain and floated down into the fast-flowing water.

Her hands waved wildly, trying to find something to hold on to but in vain. The slippery, mossy rocks rejected her. Water continuously poured into her mouth and nose, making it impossible for her to breathe.

“Kevin, Kevin…”

Looking at the person in his heart being swept away by the water of death, Kevin no longer cared about himself, he quickly let himself float after her, wanting to use the power of water to reach her.

His body continuously collided with sharp rock edges, and blood spurted out, seeping into his white shirt and quickly mixing with the rushing water.

“Hold on to that vine, Emily, hold on.”

Emily could no longer see anything, only heard his voice mixed with the sound of rushing water.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She didn’t have the strength to struggle anymore, so she closed her eyes and let the water carry her away. Before losing consciousness, she only had time to think about her father and Kevin.

“Emily… ah… ah…”

Kevin’s legs slipped off the rock, causing him to fall. Despite the pain, he risked his life to fight against the current, thinking only of one thing: he must save her.

If today, he lets her lose her life in front of him, he will not be able to live in peace for the rest of his life.

Perhaps the gods heard his agonized prayers and let her get entangled in the vines. And soon, he held her in his arms. This moment for him was no different from picking up half of his life.

Using his past experiences of hard work, he quickly grabbed the long tree roots along the dirt wall to bring her up.

The stream where she slipped was quite shallow, so he could jump to the shore with one jump. However, they had drifted quite a distance. Below here, the stream bed is separated from the bank by a high cliff, estimated to be about two meters.

“Emily, wake up… please… wake up, please.”

Kevin put her down and called and gave her artificial respiration.

After pressing on her chest for a while but seeing that she did not react, he immediately bent down and used his mouth to give her artificial respiration.

Emily coughed loudly, and water flowed from her mouth, successfully pulling her back from the hands of death.

In the darkness under the rain in the jungle, she could still clearly see his emotional face.

“Kevin.” She burst into tears, hugging him tightly.

“It’s okay. It’s okay, be good, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Facing the moment of life and death, Kevin forgot all past enmity. At that moment, he told himself that as long as he could save her, he would not hate her anymore, would not let her lower herself to follow him, on the contrary, he would love and pamper her.

He will try to bury the past mistakes, as long as she still loves him, he still loves her and they can look forward to the future together.

“Do you have pain in your body? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” He gently pushed her away, his hands continuously touching her arms and legs to check.

“My whole body hurts. Probably all internal organs are crushed.” Emily pouted like a child who had fallen and was comforted by her mother.

“Say nonsense.”

He lightly tapped the girl’s forehead, helped her stand up, then bent over and carried her on his back and returned.

Lying on his broad back, feeling the loving warmth through his wet clothes, happiness welled up in her heart.

He has returned to the warm, gentle Kevin of the past. This is truly him, her man.

“What are you looking for that you risk your life for? Have you found it yet?”

“That bracelet you gave me. I found it earlier, but when I was swept away by the water, it was gone.” Her voice was filled with regret.

“Do you still keep it? I thought you sold it to get money to buy food.”

“What? Am I that poor?”

Does Kevin know how much she appreciates that gift? There were even times when her father sent her money late. Tuition, money for food, and money for rent were all behind her back, but she didn’t dare to mortgage it, let alone sell it.

That bracelet contained not only his sincerity but also the sky of memories of her youth, extremely precious.

“Don’t be sad. I will buy you a new one, bigger and more beautiful.”

Her arms tightened around his shoulders, her eyes closed and she silently prayed that what was happening was real, not a dream.

She once thought that bringing both of them back to their old relationship was hopeless. Fortunately, he still has feelings for her.

Seeing Kevin carrying Emily back in a wet and bloody state, everyone rushed to help her down.

Women help her treat her wounds, while men help him. Fortunately, they only suffered minor scratches and a few non-serious bruises.

Brian carefully poured antiseptic on the large laceration on Kevin’s arm, then bandaged it, skillfully like a professional medical staff.

Because Kevin knew clearly that the deputy general director of GE Group was good at everything, and that he was as handsome and rich as him, when Kevin saw Emily with Brian, he became jealous.

“Thank you.” Kevin withdrew his hand when Brian finished bandaging it.

“Both of your lives are very big.”

After saying that, Brian stood up and walked towards the kitchen, where everyone was busy preparing dinner.

Just now, he and a group of businessmen went looking for the two of them. However, when they reached the shallow stream, they could not see anyone, so the group leader asked everyone to spread out in all directions to search.

As a result, he witnessed an extremely romantic scene between the person he loved and the person who was both his partner and rival.

Five minutes later, Emily and Kevin also arrived. The meal took place in a strange place and full of strangers, but Emily felt extremely warm because everyone cared about her.

“Are you okay?” Brian asked.

“Yes, fortunately, it was only a minor scratch.” She answered.

“Did you find the item?” An older sister asked while pushing the canned meat box towards her.

“No.”

The group leader also interjected, he said that the water was flowing so fast, how could she find her lost things?

Next, he told Emily not to regret it, not to be sad because no matter how valuable that item was, it was not as valuable as her boss. If she took him to the auction, she would get a lot of money, no joke. If there was any mistake just now, the business world would lose a talented person.

After hearing the group leader’s analysis, everyone burst into laughter.

Only Emily knows how regretful she was at that time when she saw Kevin rushing into the stream.

If anything happened to him because of her, she wouldn’t want to exist anymore. The damage she caused him was already too much.

The meal ended, everyone helped each other clean up and then returned to the tent to sleep.

The rain has decreased, and the raindrops gently tap the tent, creating a pleasant tinkling sound. Emily was so happy that she couldn’t sleep, and kept tossing and turning, imagining the scene in the forest and smiling.

Seeing a dark shadow in front of the tent door, her heart almost jumped out of her chest. However, Kevin’s call helped her calm down. It turned out that he had gone here.

“What’s up?” She asked as soon as she pulled open the tent door.

“Drink a glass of hot milk and then go to sleep. Were you shy just now, or why did you eat so little?”

He gently walked in and then, as naturally as a fly, sat next to her.

He couldn’t sleep. The sound of the rain in the middle of the night made his heart call her name even more. His feet were walking unconsciously, looking for a way, looking for a way to come here.

Taking the glass of milk from him, she shyly turned her face to the side and drank little by little. Before, she ate and drank comfortably in front of him, but after five years, she suddenly felt shy like a young girl seeing a man for the first time.

“Thank…”

Emily had not finished her sentence when the person across from her took the initiative to kiss her. To be more precise, he deliberately wiped away the milk stains on her lips.

This sudden action made her almost freeze, opening her eyes wide.

“What’s the matter? You don’t like this?”

“No, but, what did you just do?”

The answer for her was the next kiss, a deep kiss that lasted almost forever. The kiss brought with it a lot of longing and desire that he had tried to suppress for many years.

She fell into a passive position, not even having time to calm down to respond to him, letting herself fall into his strong arms and letting him torment her lips.

“Emily, forget the past and start again with me.” He said in a gasp as soon as their lips separated.

“Yes, thank you, Kevin.”

She buried her head in his arms, listening to his chaotic heartbeat. Tears of happiness rolled down her lovely cheeks, hot.

Outside, the rain was getting heavier and Kevin used that excuse to ask to sleep in her tent until the rain stopped.

She said nothing, quietly pressed him down and laid her head on his firm chest.

After five years of separation, tonight, he was able to hold her in his arms again, freely caress her nose, gently pinch her chin, caress her curved eyelashes, and listen to her whispering.

Does she know that happiness for him is simply being by her side?
