Chapter 938 What Fate Means (2/2)

the man answered in a lazy tone as if he was tired and sleepy.

'Nobody but me? Then where are Rita and the kids? The man had said that there were beasts on the mountain. Maybe they have been eaten by beasts?!' She felt her heart begin to thump wildly at this thought.

Emily dared not think any further along these lines and she rushed up to the man anxiously as she demanded, ”Where did you find me?”

The man felt a little dizzy having Emily so close to him, but he finally turned to look at her. ”It is very far from here. Was there someone else with you? Do you want to go and find them?” he asked softly.

”Yes!”

Emily quickly nodded her head as Rita and the kids were the most important people in her life. No matter how dangerous it was outside, she would risk anything to go find them!

”There was nobody but you where I found you. And it is not likely that the beasts had eaten them all. There would have been signs if that had happened... So I think the people you are looking for were not there,”

he said calmly and stared closely at Emily with a pair of clear eyes as if he had seen through her mind and into her soul.

'Nobody?

Not there?

Then where are they?'

Emily was so puzzled by the disappearance of her dear ones that she did not notice the way in which the man was staring at her. She was oblivious to his intent gaze which lingered on her.

'So, she is Emily? She is the gentle, kind, and sweet Emily? No wonder there are so many people who like her...

I would never have thought that I would meet her in this life. What a coincidence that we should meet each other in the deep forest.

Maybe, this is just what fate means...' the man thought quietly.
