Love Coming from the Least Expected Chapter 75
Christopher… I recited his name silently. Suddenly, the car lights from far away flashed. Focusing my gaze on it, I realized that it was Christopher’s BMW under the dim light of the lamps.
Thinking I was seeing things, I rubbed my eyes forcefully, trying my best to see it clearly. As if Christopher could sense what I was thinking, the owner of the car flashed the car lights again.
For a moment, I felt like my surroundings were awash with light again, enveloping my face. Hope was right in front of me. I was so excited that I had an urge to jump down and hug him. Even my hand, which was gripping my phone, was trembling.
A text message popped up on my phone. You fool, why did you call now? What if someone overhears you?
Only then did I realize that he did not pick up the call because he was thinking on my behalf. All my anxiety and unease flew away in an instant. Holding onto my phone, I grinned foolishly toward the window and sent another message: Do you know the story between planes and love?
When I was young, I saw it on the television. Back then, I thought that the female character in the drama was adorable and impressive. Although she was as foolish as me, she understood such philosophical stuff.
Christopher sent me a confused emoji. Is it a fairytale? You already have a prince, so why are you still thinking about fairytales?
I replied: It’s because I met a prince that I have even more faith in fairytales. You fool, it’s getting late. Go back home quickly.
Christopher then messaged: Can you bear for me to leave?
I replied exasperatedly: I haven’t saved the world yet. When I accomplish such an amazing feat, I’ll come and pick you up in grandeur.
“I’m really happy you saved me that day. You still love me. Let’s spend the rest of the days we have together happily, okay? We shall forget about the past.”
I did not reply to his words. If I spoke, I would only rebuke him with harsh words. There was no point in arguing endlessly.
Before the peace could continue for a second more, Lyle’s phone rang. He continued hugging me, perfectly playing the part of a gentle and loving husband. After rejecting the call, his phone rang two more times. When I saw his conflicted expression, I felt uncomfortable.
“Are you sure you aren’t going to pick the call up? There might be an emergency.”
At that comment, Lyle got up. Noticing my calm expression, he glanced at his phone and answered it, unable to hold himself back. When he heard the voice on the phone, his expression changed. Dragging me outside, he broke into a run and demanded, “Hurry up! We need to go to the hospital.”
