Chapter 510 Antonio was stunned to tears
"Over a decade ago, my brother, stepfather, and I went on a trip to Galon Snow Peak. They loved skiing, but for some reason, on that day, there was an avalanche. The situation was chaotic; my brother was swept away by the snowstorm, and I lost my way. When the storm finally subsided, I couldn't find anyone. I was also buried in the snow, but luckily I wasn't buried too deep."
Upon hearing this, Antonio gasped. Could it be...
Sarah continued, "Later, I heard a cry for help from the snow ahead. It was a young boy's voice. I struggled to crawl out of the snow and went to help him. But I was not strong enough to pull him out. He told me to leave him and go, but I couldn't bear to. Eventually, I pulled down a rope from the safety net, pushed it under the snow, and let him tie it around himself."
At this point, a tear slid down Sarah's cheek.
"He was so weak that his breathing was barely audible over the wind and snow. I was scared, scared that he would die in front of me. So, I kept talking to him, telling him as many stories as I could. Even though he had no strength left, he kept holding my hand. We spent the night like that until the rescue team found us the next morning. I was so exhausted that I fainted and was taken to the hospital. I didn't even get to exchange names with the boy, and we never saw each other again. The bracelet my mother left me was also lost on that mountain that day."
Sarah sniffled, took out her phone, and found a picture of the bracelet, "This one; the one that Serene was prepared to kill my brother to conceal, all in a bid to impersonate Kelvin's daughter."
Antonio looked at the photo of the bracelet on the phone and was completely lost for words.
He often dreamed of that night but for some reason, he could never see the little girl's face clearly, not even when he saw Serene.
The only thing he remembered vividly was the girl's small hands.
She repeatedly rubbed her own cold, red hands to warm them. To keep herself from fainting, she told stories, all night long...
And on those hands was this bracelet!
Now, he finally saw her face clearly!
The person who gave him a second chance at life was none other than the woman in front of him; the woman he loved so deeply that he couldn't pull himself away!
Sarah put her phone away, clenched her fists, and repeatedly pounded on Antonio's body.
"Are you an idiot? A moron? Where's your brain? You even got this wrong! For so many years, you've been fooled by Serene, and you were happy about it?! What were you thinking, Antonio? You're the biggest idiot in the world!"
Sarah was aggrieved, extremely aggrieved.
Why?
Why did Serene steal away her father, and why did she also steal the credit for saving Antonio?!
What right did Serene have to do this?!
Sarah vented all her resentment, anger, and grievances on Antonio. She suffered so much to save Antonio that day, and this idiot repaid all her efforts to her enemy.
Idiot, idiot, idiot!
Antonio was in pain from the beating, but a blissful smile appeared on his face.
He stared foolishly at the woman he loved, letting her fists hit his body and face.
But he had never been more satisfied than he was now.
Good, everything was going to be good...
The little girl he had been thinking about was Sarah, the woman he wanted to protect with his life.
He couldn’t be... happier...
Antonio tightly hugged Sarah as tears streamed down his face. He buried his face in Sarah's neck, first sobbing quietly, then crying out loud.
He cried like a baby. It was like he was a one-year-old again.
Antonio held Sarah tightly, afraid that she would disappear if he wasn't careful.
"This is so great... Sarah; it's really you. I can’t believe this... I knew it. I knew why I couldn't feel grateful towards Serene. It was you. It was always you that I was thinking about. The little girl was you. It's really you, Sarah; it's really you..."
This time, Sarah didn't push Antonio away.
She rested her head on Antonio's shoulder, listening to the sobbing in her ear.
Shouldn't she be the one who was aggrieved? Shouldn't she be the one crying?
This... was just ridiculous!
But somehow, Sarah also felt an urge to cry with Antonio.
After a while, Sarah tugged at Antonio's clothes, "Okay, that's enough."
Antonio's eyes were a bit swollen, and his nose was also red from crying. He looked as pitiful as could be.
Sarah took a silent breath.
Antonio was also unlucky; he’d been deceived by Serene time and time again.
The avalanche, the car accident...
Sarah pulled a tissue out of the drawer, "Stop crying; the real tears are yet to come."
Antonio took the tissue and wiped his tears vigorously, "Sarah, what else is there?"
