Chapter 884

"You have a huge lung capacity, Miss Clark...'

Alfred was awakened by Catelyn's calls for help. He opened his eyes weakly and teased her, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Despite sounding weak, he could hear Catelyn's heartbeat beating fast, and he was pleasantly surprised.

"You’re awake? Thank God you're not dead!" Catelyn could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, followed by a solemn apology, "I'm so, so

sorry. These people targeted me, and I dragged you into this accidentally."

"Well, 'whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save if. Even if it wasn't you tied up here today, I

wouldn't stand by and watch anyone being taken away like that."

Alfred's injury was on his chest, and the blood loss caused his face to be stiff and pale.

He slowly sat up, leaning on a cable crate, panting tiredly. Simple as it was, it was difficult for him to perform with a serious wound.

"Don't move! You're bleeding..." Catelyn reminded him when she saw that his movements caused more blood to

spill out.

Alfred tilted his head back and closed his eyes slightly. "Can you chat with me for a while? I'm afraid I'll fall asleep

like this."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk about your husband."

Knowing that Alfred was curious about her husband, and though it was a little awkward, she did not think too much

for fear that Alfred would not be able to hold on. Thus, she started talking about Cedrick.

"We've known each other for more than four years and have a pair of lovely twin sons. He can be domineering and

solipsistic, but at times, he'd be very warm, making you feel that as long as he is there, you can do anything without

holding back-"

"So you think he'll come to save you this time, right?" Alfred listened silently and interjected with a pale face.

Catelyn firmly replied, "Whenever I'm in danger, he'll always be by my side. It won't be any different this time."

'I can't wait to meet him..." Alfred silently said.

His voice was low as if he was muttering to herself so that Catelyn could not hear it.

She asked, "What did you say?"

"Nothing. I was just being emotional for a moment..." replied Alfred in a low voice before changing the topic by

staring at Catelyn. "Do you know why I chose to come to Sapphire City?"

"You told me that the people of Sapphire City are very hospitable," Catelyn said.

Alfred smiled weakly, breathing heavily. "They are, but there is a more important reason. I have a parental betrothed fiancee who's been

missing since childhood. If she's still alive, she's probably in Sapphire City."

"So you came to find your fiancee?" Catelyn looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah..." Alfred let out a wry smile, sweating coldly on his forehead because of the pain in his wound.

He tried to distract the pain by recalling his past. "Her mother, Aunt Carrey, and my mom were good friends. When Aunt Carrey was pregnant,

my mother said that if the baby was a daughter, she'd be my wife when I grew up. I know it sounds funny, but I took it seriously at that time."

A weak chuckle escaped Alfred as he added, "We eventually found out that it was a girl after all, and everyone was so happy that day..."

Catelyn was very focused as though she was listening to a story from a long time ago, but she was then curious about the turning point of the

story. "So, how and why did you and your fiancee get separated?"

Alfred was silent for a while.

He had kept the truth with him for many years and never talked about it to any of his friends.
