Justin had no time to take in the shock.


    He could feel the surface beneath him crumbling.


    “Hurry up, Anna!”


    +


    In the heat of the moment, Justin blurted out the name that she used when they were married.


    Be’s heart skipped a beat.


    That name stirred her up with energy, and she managed totch onto


    the edge of the cliff and throw herself into Justin’s arms.


    The man locked his arms around her and held her tight.


    Rumble!


    As the edge of the cliff copsed, Justin shielded Be and tumb with her in the opposite direction of


    the disaster.


    “Ugh!” With his back hitting a rock, Justin let out an agonized grunt.


    He hurt himself badly as he broke out in a cold sweat, which blended quickly with the rainwater.


    “Are you injured?” Be looked up from his embrace and nervously


    looked at his discolored face.


    ?


    “No.” Justin kept his tone t so as not to reveal the pain.in his voice.


    Struck by lingering fear, Be dropped her weight on his heaving chest.


    and sighed.


    “Why didn’t you tell me?” His gaze under his drenchedshes locked on her, and his voice was raspy.


    “What?” As her heart raced, Be looked away.


    “Why didn’t you tell me that we met thirteen years ago? Why didn’t you tell me you were the girl I saved


    here?”


    Justin spoke with a heavy breath as a mix of emotions ate at him.


    She felt a catch in her throat, and her soiled face turned pale.


    Did he call her Anna because he remembered the past?


    Why did he have to remember at this moment?


    Why did the realizatione thirteen years toote?


    It was toote. She would rather that he forget about her forever.


    “Tell me, Be. Say something!”


    Hot with emotions, Justin gripped Be’s chin and made her meet his

    bloodshot gaze.


    ?


    “Do you remember why I called myself Anna when I married you?”


    Be gave him a gloomy look, her chest clutched.


    Justin grimaced in pain at her cutthroat words.


    His memories came back to him.


    Justin asked for her name when-he saved her, but was met with


    silence. Hence, he randomly named her “Anna”, as it was the most


    However, it was the random name that brought him together with the woman thirteen yearster. The


    girl he once saved re-emerged as his


    wife.


    He had no idea.


    “Ha! It looks like you remember.”


    Be chuckled. “You don’t have to remember anything, though. I never expected you to remember me.


    I am only passing through your life, whether it’s thirteen years ago, three years ago, or now.”


    Justin’s breath hitched.


    He was not at fault for saving her life and forgetting her.


    Yet the guilt consumed him.


    The woman had longed for him for thirteen years, but he turned around and forgot about her.


    ?


    She chased after him and tried to blend into his world. However, he pushed her out and shut the door


    to his heart right in her face.


    “I’m sorry…”


    Justin’s lips shivered as he choked with sobs. “I didn’t know you were that girl. If I knew-”


    “If you knew, you would’ve divorced me anyway.”


    Be smiled with understanding. She had her regrets about him, but there were no lingering feelings. “I

    might be Be and Anna. The difference is just a name. It doesn’t change anything between us. You


    don’t need to apologize. I should thank you. You left after saving my


    life. I didn’t know your name or who you were. I couldn’t express my


    gratitude.”


    “Even so, why did you marry me, Be?”


    That was the question that had been bugging Justin. “Do you feel indebted to me because I saved


    you?”


    “It doesn’t matter anymore, Justin. It’s all in the past. There’s no point. mulling over a marriage that


    didn’t end well.”


    Be closed her eyes as if closing off ess to her heart. Her shoulders trembled, betraying her


    feelings. “Now isn’t the time to talk.


    about this. I’m cold. Let’s go.”


    In the rainstorm, the former couple reached a truce for a moment. As they were injured, they leaned on


    each other as they traveled ahead. with difficulty.


    ?


    Unfortunately, Be’s phone had died on her, while Justin could no


    receive any signal on his.


    “One thing’s for sure-we are at the back of Mount Jaglee. Otherwise, we would’ve gotten a phone


    signal.” Be staggered out of breath.


    The hunger and cold drained her of energy.


    Her determination not to be a burden to Justin was the thing that kept


    her going. She could not even feel her legs anymore.


    “I instructedn to send a helicopter before I came to you.” Sensing


    that she was on herst legs, Justin held her waist to stop her from


    falling.


    “A search and rescue is difficult in this weather. Maybe-”


    Atst, Be copsed.


    Justin caught her and held her close to his chest. All he could breathe


    in was the smell of wet soil on her.


    He tensed his jawline as his heart went out to her.


    The woman must have been through hell because he arrived to save


    her.


    ?


    “We should find a ce to shelter from the rain.”


    Justin crouched down to carry Be on his back before moving along.


    “Hey, Justin…”


    Leaning over his back, Be wrapped her arms around his neck and asked in a weak voice, “Do you


    think we will ever get out of here?”


    “Of course,” Justin responded without thinking twice.


    “I nearly died once. What if-”


    “They said that you were the Goddess of the Mountain.”


    While hiking ahead with a struggle, Justin said with a faint smile, Coincidentally, they called me a God


    of the Mountain too.”


    ΤΗ


    “Pft!” She closed her eyes in disdain.


    “We won’t die, Be.”


    Drawing a deep breath, Justin gave her dirty hands a tight squeeze. “If


    God can’t protect you, I will.”
