Reborn Through Fire novel Chapter 607

Chapter 607 Lie Still

Her hair stood erect, her body tense, and she was too scared to move. It was all dark in front of her eyes, and she could only see the snowflakes flying outside the cave. The air was chilly. Half of her body was pressed against a very warm surface, and the warmth was so obvious that only skin–to–skin contact could make that kind of sensation. ‘Skin–to–skin contact?‘ Her heart skipped a beat at the thought, and her mind went blank.

She remembered Emma trying to kill her with a knife. She dodged desperately and then accidentally rolled down a snow slope. The snow slope was long, and she rolled for a long time before falling into some place though she could not recall how she ended up with Gilbert.
