That year, I longed to explore beyond my village. Surprisingly, just as I ventured out, I encountered Adam with his expedition team. He had been bitten by a venomous snake, and I managed to save him.
Upon regaining consciousness, Adam initially expressed gratitude by offering me a substantial sum, but I declined. I simply bid him farewell and departed.
Our paths crossed again when I, still naive to the ways of the world, fell victim to a con. An elderly woman had ensnared me, but Adam's timely arrival in his vehicle rescued me from the predicament.
Noticing my unfamiliarity with modern life, Adam took me under his wing, educating me on various aspects. Gradually, our mutual affection blossomed into love.
The night I planned to confess my feelings, Adam's foes attacked him. In shielding him from a knife, my eyes were gravely injured.
Adam, distraught, wept for hours outside the emergency room. He vowed never to abandon me, promising to be my eyes if I lost my sight.
