Vincent continued to call her, rubbing her hands, “Natalia…”
Natalia's consciousness came gradually. She heard a distant voice calling her. The voice sounded as though it came from under the surface of the water.
“Mm…” she groaned, knitting her eyebrows.
“Yes, come on.” Vincent tapped her cheeks. “Open your eyes and look at me.”
As Natalia opened her eyes slowly, the voice sounded clear and loud. Then she saw the most desirable face.
“Vincent…” she murmured.
Vincent smiled in relief. He caressed her forehead, “I am here.”
At that moment, Natalia recalled the ferocious wolves chasing her. Her eyes widened in horror. She instantly sat up and threw herself onto him.
“Th-those wolves…”
“Shh…” Vincent wrapped his arms around her and patted her head, “You are safe now.”
Natalia hugged him tighter. It was as if she was trying to get inside him.
“I am scared.” Her voice quivered.
