She saw that tall and straight figure slowly turn around.
It was just like the slow-motion scene in the movie. At this time, her breathing slowed out of shock.
It was only when Emily saw the handsome features that she finally confirmed that it was Simon. However, she was still in shock. He should be in Tbridge City, but he appeared in front of her now. It wasn't an illusion, and it was so real!
It had been nearly half a year since he left Country S...
Such a long time had passed in the blink of an eye. He was obviously thinner, and the outline was clearer than before. The cynicalness and laziness between his eyebrows seemed to have disappeared, replaced by silence.
Simon was wearing charcoal gray clothes, and there were obvious wrinkles on his shirt and trouser legs.
He strode towards her, walking faster and faster. He did not stop until he stood in front of her. His chest slightly heaved, and his amorous eyes stared at her intensely, looking up and down at her.
Emily opened her mouth and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Are you okay? Is there any injury?"
They asked the same question almost at the same time.
Seeing him staring at her for a second, Emily lowered her eyelashes and replied with a smile, "I'm fine. I'm not injured! When the earthquake happened, I happened to be in the car. I ran out with my colleagues immediately!"
Although there was still some fear in her heart, she felt lucky that she had survived. It was God's blessing that she was able to survive such a devastating natural disaster.
After hearing her answer, Simon's tight mouth slightly relaxed.
Even so, his gaze still didn't move away from her. It seemed that he wanted to see if there were any hidden dangers. Deep concern and worry were hidden in his eyes.
Emily swallowed her saliva and observed his handsome features once more. She said, "Simon, long time no see..."
Simon also said, "Long time no see."
Indeed, they had not seen each other for a long time...
Was six months a long time?
Perhaps, for many people, six months was fleeting, but for him it was very tough. Every minute and every second of each day was sheer torture for him.
Emily also felt hurt. She did not expect that they would meet again in such a situation. She could not help thinking of their experience in Yany State...
But now they...
After calming herself down, Emily asked again, "Why did you come here? I heard from Wendy that you went to Tbridge City as a volunteer..." "Mn." Simon's Adam's apple moved slightly.
But why he appeared in Country S...
In the past six months, although he was on the plateau in Tbridge City, more than 10,000 kilometers away from her, he had been paying close attention to the news about Country S, from which he could feel her existence.
At noon yesterday, he saw the news of MS 6.8 earthquake reported by the female reporter seriously. The number of people who died was unknown, and there were many fellow countrymen among them. He couldn't get through to Emily's cell phone. He was so worried about her that he almost went crazy!
He couldn't get in touch with the embassy, either, so he couldn't be sure if she was safe. Simon couldn't wait for a second, and he came here to find her without hesitation...
Misha raised her hand to touch her forehead and grinned. Then she ran out to find a doctor.
After the rescuers appeared, there was hope for them who were trapped. Although there were no tall buildings in the slums, they were very close to the mountains, so it was still dangerous. Soon the soldiers organized the survivors in order to move to a safe place nearby.
More and more people left safely.
Emily looked around and didn't see the black girl. Emily didn't know if she had left with others. When she was worried, she saw the girl running to her in panic.
She quickly walked over, only to hear her anxious and messy expression in English. "Miss! please help me!"
The little girl looked up at her with her face full of tears. She mumbled a lot of words im case that Emily couldn't understand. Then she pointed to a direction behind her, gesticulated the position of her left chest in a hurry and made a painful look.
Emily quickly stooped down to comfort the little girl. She had already understood what was going on. Looking up at the doctors and soldiers who were in a hurry, she bit her lips and pulled her to run into the crowd.
There was a wounded person who had just been rescued from under the ruins. A doctor in a white gown was there, and Simon was stitching up the wound. She quickly walked over and stopped in front of Simon.
Seeing that his face was lowered and he did not notice her, Emily hesitated and reached out her hand to grab his elbow, "Simon..."
The moment they touched each other, they were suddenly stunned.
Even though Emily only touched his clothes, she could still feel his sturdy forearms and his body temperature.
