At the mention of the past, Adam's expression softened. "Yes. Years ago, I was badly injured and ended up lost in a forest. Carly saved me. Without her, I wouldn't be here today. She's the one who saved my life."
Celine found it ridiculous. She laughed, though she wasn't sure why. Her heart ached, yet there was a strange, tingling numbness deep inside her. She had always thought he had forgotten her, but he never did. He still remembered her.
All these years, he had reserved a place for her in her heart.
Being loved in return was a beautiful thing, even if he had given his love to the wrong person.
Celine tilted her small, delicate face up at him. "Do you remember what you said in that cave?"
Adam nodded. "I said I'd take her away. I said I'd give her a home and never leave her."
Adam gazed at Celine intensely and continued, "All these years, I've kept my promise. I found Carly and made sure she stayed by my side, watching over her as she grew up. In a way, she's like a flower I've tended to with care, giving her all my love and protection."
He reached out and grasped Celine's shoulders. "Do you get it now? I never wanted us to be on opposing sides, and I don't want to be your enemy, but I can't turn my back on Carly. Although she's spoiled, manipulative, and not perfect, she's still my girl."
Adam said that Carly was his girl.
Celine's eyes turned red, tears welling up in them as she gazed at him.
All these years, he had done so much. He had never broken his promise. He had kept the girl he thought had saved him by his side and had watched over her as she grew up.
At that moment, her heart softened. All the hurt and resentment she had carried melted away.
He had brought a girl home, but he had brought back the wrong person.
In the end, they had missed their chance. They had lost so many years, years they could never get back.
"I want to talk to Perry. I want to hear his voice and make sure he's safe."
The name "Perry" instantly shattered the warmth in Adam's eyes. For a moment, he had almost forgotten that things were already over between him and Celine. She had Perry now, and she was carrying his child too.
Slowly, Adam let go of her. "He's safe. Let me give him a call."
Adam took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. "Let Perry take the call."
Soon, Perry's voice came through the line. "Hello? Mr. Alvarez, when are you going to let me out of here?"
Adam said nothing. Instead, he handed the phone to Celine.
She grabbed the phone without hesitation. "Perry, it's me!"
