Chapter 1213

Neera observed the indirect sunlight appearing on the horizon, breathing heavily while muttering to herself.

Darcel glanced at her, a slight smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

“After all, our efforts were not in vain. We survived a great disaster and were able to rise again. We’re truly fortunate.”

Neera agreed. “Exactly, when the mountain collapsed, I thought it was the end for me. I wondered what would happen to my family if I died here. Thankfully, you were there, Darcel. Thank you for protecting me. We’ve truly experienced life and death together. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. I will definitely repay your kindness.”

Darcel didn’t look at her, his gaze fixed on the gradually brightening sky, a hint of restrained tenderness flickering in his eyes.

“I can ask for anything?” he suddenly asked.

Neera, despite her exhaustion, nodded firmly. “Anything you want.”

With the great kindness Darcel had shown her, she felt it was only right to repay him with all her might.

However, something seemed to cross Darcel’s mind, deepening the curve of his smile.

After a short rest, the two of them regained their strength.

Neera sat up, still concerned about Darcel’s injured hands.

“Darcel, your hands are injured. Let me clean them up and bandage them for you.”

Darcel also stood up, his gaze falling on her hands full of wounds. His drooping eyelashes concealed the pain in his eyes.

“Why do you always take care of others? You’re the one who’s injured. I can handle it. Let’s take care of your wounds first.”
