Chapter 115 - Strangers Again (1/2)

Jackson stuck out his hand and smiled at Halia, ”Nice to meet you, Miss Feng.”

Halia froze and stared at the man's hand in confusion. They obviously knew each other, but why did he seem so foreign.

At that moment, a blond-haired woman suddenly ran up to Jackson and started speaking in French as she ran her hands across his chest. Jackson quickly retrieved his hand and spoke back to the woman in French. The woman was tall, her body was curvy and she had sparkly blue eyes. Who was she?

Emerson looked at the two and chuckled. He then whispered beside Halia's ear, ”That's my brother's girlfriend. They just returned from France together. I heard my brother was injured and she saved his life...”

Halia's eyes grew wide in shock as she felt her heart sink. Was this why she hadn't heard from Jackson for an entire month? Did he find himself a hot French woman and forget about her? Was this why he was pretending not to know her?

As Halia glared at the man, she watched his arm wrap affectionately around the woman's slim waist. ”I'm sorry, please excuse us, we need to return to our room. We are a little jet-lagged. It was nice meeting you, Miss Haili,” he said as he walked off with the blond-haired woman.

Halia clenched her fists. What was happening? Shouldn't he, at least, give her an explanation?

Halia wanted to chase after the couple, but just as she took a step forward, she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her body. ”It's nice to see you again,” Emerson whispered beside her ear. ”Did you change your mind and come looking for me?”

...

Meanwhile, Jackson entered the connected hotel and stepped into the elevator with the blond-haired woman in his arms.

Emerson was right, this woman had saved Jackson's life in France.

That day, when she rushed into the barn and found Jackson lying in a pool of blood, he was already on the brink of death. He had received a bullet in the chest and he was losing blood fast. She immediately removed her jacket and applied tension to his wound while she called for the ambulance, but they were in a rural area that wasn't easy to get to. While she waited, she noticed Jackson's breathing weaken and his body turn cold. Eventually, his breathing even stopped. She was a highly trained Interpol agent, so she immediately applied the CPR methods she had learned. For an unfit person, 10 minutes of CPR was a person's limit before they got tired and their efforts were no longer effective, but this woman was fit and determined. ”Don't die on me, Jackson,” she cried as she pushed down on his chest. It took 30 whole minutes before the ambulance arrived, but this woman did not give up for a second, exerting all the energy she had to save her friend's life. Even when the paramedics walked in, she still refused to give up. Finally, at the 31-minute mark, Jackson jumped back to life and the ambulance rushed him straight to the hospital.

This woman was none other than Amelie Roux.

The couple soon arrived outside their hotel room and Jackson went to open the door. As soon as the door flew open, Amelie leaned in for a kiss and the couple tumbled into the room in each other's arms.
