Chapter 126 - How Will You Repay Me? (2/2)
The man's voice was low but charming. ”You owe me for saving you as well!”
Halia felt her heart race as she looked at the man. What did he mean by these words? Underneath the starry night sky, this man looked like a mystical being that had arisen from the water.
He was still wearing his suit and his originally styled hair was now sitting flat on his head from the pool water.
Meanwhile, Halia's long black hair was slicked back and slightly floating on the surface of the water. Her white dress and his black suit made them appear like a couple on their wedding day. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful; they were a perfect match.
Even Amelie thought this as she watched from the side.
At that moment, a staff member arrived with some towels and handed them to Emerson.
”Bro, hurry and help Halia out of the water. She's going to catch a cold!” Emerson yelled.
As soon as Emerson said this, Jackson launched forward and carried Halia in his arms.
”What are you doing?” Halia asked in surprise.
”You heard my brother. He said to help you out,” Jackson said as he looked down at the woman.
”Your girlfriend's going to get jealous,” Halia said as she glanced at Amelie.
”It's OK, she's very understanding,” Jackson replied.
Jackson quickly carried Halia out of the water and over to Emerson. Emerson then wrapped Halia in a towel and asked worriedly, ”Are you OK?”
Halia gently nodded her head as she glanced at Jackson. She then watched as the man removed his jacket and shirt. They were soaking wet, so he was better off removing them.
At that moment, Halia noticed the scars on his arm; the ones that she had left on his body. She knew her skills weren't good enough to prevent scarring. But, she also noticed a scar on his chest. Last time, when she was stitching him up, she had snuck a few glances at his body and she was sure that the scar on his chest wasn't there before. So, where did it come from? What happened while he was in France? Wasn't he there for a trial? Why wasn't he in jail?
