“She is my mother. But she is not the good mother in my memory.” Emily thought.
Those memories flooded Emily’s mind. It was Donna who accompanied her, helped her comb her hair, told her stories, and cooked delicious food for her all the time.
This time, when Emily woke up and faced Donna again, she no longer had the indifference and coldness she had in the past.
Donna had abandoned Emily when Emily needed her the most. Even if it was not her fault, what she did hurt Emily a lot and was a cause for Emily’s death. Thus, Emily would not accept Donna in a short time.
When Ferne and the others returned, they didn’t find Vincent and the others. Only Pablo and Timothy stood on the stage and were talking with several people. The islanders below the stage were all cheering enthusiastically, and Ferne could only hear a few words about hunting.
Noah searched for the medical doctor for a long time but could not find him. The servants told him that the Second Elder was dead and everyone went to the Second Elder’s home. Maybe the medical doctor was also there.
Although Noah did not know what had happened, he guessed that it was related to Vincent. So he left. When he came back, he saw that Ferne was practicing Popping with his stiff hands and frowned.
“Rub, rub, it’s the footsteps of a devil…” Ferne sang the song, waved his stiff hands, and tried to make mechanical movements. He even slid a Moonwalk on the ground.
Noah was speechless.
It was too shameful! He was just about to pull Ferne into the tent, and then he saw Jaquan come and dance with Ferne…
Probably because Vincent didn’t lose his memory, they were too happy and could not control themselves.
The crowd below the stage noticed that and some of them quickly set up a bonfire. Then, a group of people danced around the bonfire. In the beginning, the dance was normal. But after Ferne, Jaquan, and Emma joined, all the islanders from the Emerald Island began to dance Popping.
Noah was standing there with his arms crossed. Ferne waved his hands and invited Noah, “Come on!”
Noah remained still and speechless.
Quickly, it was at dusk. Around the bonfire, everyone’s faces were illuminated red and bright.
Emily and Donna sat on the ground in front of the bonfire. They sat close, looked at the dancing islanders, but didn’t chat. The drums on the stage rang again and sounded light and enthusiastic. From time to time, the loud and clear singing from the islanders could be heard, filled with cheers and joy.
In the distance, Kamron and Pablo were chatting. Bodyguard Tom was holding gauze to bandage his injured arm. Emily went to help him.
In her memory, she had only helped Vincent bandage his wound…
The crowd suddenly quieted down and even their breathing sounds seemed to have lightened. Emily focused on bandaging and did not notice that someone was coming from behind.
Vincent was covered with bright moonlight. He looked tall and straight with his black suit, wearing a cold expression.
He walked step by step towards Emily.
His deep eyes were fixed on her. She held the hand of another man and carefully bandaged it.
The people around all stopped moving. They were surprised that Vincent, the man who previously relied on the wheelchair suddenly could stand and walk and that his handsome face was even more charming under the moonlight.
Quite some women let out inhaling sounds.
Men simultaneously felt formidable towards Vincent. The sense of oppression and the aura as a superior from Vincent were even stronger than those from Pablo.
Tom unconsciously swallowed his saliva and withdrew his hand, “Miss Emily, thank you. I … I’ll do it myself.”
Emily grabbed his hand, “It is almost done.” Then she tied a bowknot and smiled at him.
Tom quickly stood up, bowed to Emily, and then ran behind Kamron and Pablo.
Kamron wondered what had scared the bodyguard. So he turned around and saw Vincent. He immediately hid behind Pablo.
Pablo was confused and asked. “Why did you hide?”
Kamron walked out at a loss, “I don’t know. It was a conditioned reflex.”
Pablo could say nothing about that.
The dance by the bonfire had all stopped. Only then did Emily notice that everyone was looking behind her with strange expressions, most of which were shock and admiration.
Emily stood up and turned around.
Vincent was there. Since the accident happened on the day of the Qingming Festival, it had been more than three months.
He became much thinner than before. His face was angular. Perhaps because he was illuminated by the bonfire or because he could see the woman he had been longing for, his eyes lit up.
He looked down at Emily. Emily’s eyes were wet. Only then did he take a step forward and ask in a low voice, “I have nothing now. Are you still willing to be with me?”
“That’s all right.” Emily wiped away her tears and said earnestly, “I will support you.”
“Wow!” Someone screamed in surprise.
It seemed to be Ferne’s voice, but soon he couldn’t make a noise because Noah grabbed him by the neck.
“Someone is trying to kill his husband!” Ferne cried.
Noah was speechless again.
He could not help but cover Ferne’s noisy mouth.
The crowd around the bonfire gained courage from Ferne. Some clapped, some whistled, and some even shouted excitedly, “Promise her!”
