Chapter 8

The crowd erupted into another commotion.

I looked at Blaine's pale face.

Suddenly, I was reminded of the day we first met.

To save me from accidentally falling into the water, Blaine jumped in without hesitation.

Drowning in the lake, I thought I was about to die.

But then Blaine appeared.

He skillfully dragged me back to shore, his expression calm and serious.

"Are you alright, miss?" he asked.

I was stunned for a moment, only coming to my senses as Blaine was about to turn away.

That was the first time I asked a strange guy for his contact information.

He saved me.

But I also paid the price of a leg to save him.

Now, I no longer owed him anything.

With this thought, I didn't spare Blaine another glance. I pushed through the crowd and left.

From that day on, I returned to my small rented apartment.

But Blaine still found me.

He was a completely different person from before.

Gone was his former vigor and vitality.
