Chapter 92 Let Me Carry You
"Mat, why are you here?"
Norah was quite surprised to meet Matthew here.
"Today is my dad's death anniversary. I'm here to visit his tomb. How about you? Why are you here?"
Matthew 's voice was particularly low.
"I'm sorry for that. I'm here to see my mom."
"Are you alone?"
Matthew was shocked.
After all, he knew that Norah and Shawn had got married. Norah's mother was also Shawn's mother-in-
law.
It was not reasonable to let Norah come here alone.
Norah nodded, "Yes. I haven't been here for a long time. I miss my mother so much, so I want to come
here and see her."
At that time, there was another rumbling of thunder.
Then, it began to rain. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
It was small raindrops at first, but soon, it was already bean-sized raindrops in less than two minutes.
The heavy rain poured down. The mountain was quickly embraced by clouds and became misty
instantly.
Norah and Matthew both sped up and went down the mountain.
But Norah was worried about the baby, and the road was slippery, Norah didn't dare to go forward
boldly.
"Don't be afraid. Follow me."
At that moment, she heard Matthew's voice.
Next, Norah felt her palms warm, and a pair of big and gentle hands grabbed her.
"Sorry to offend you in this situation."
Matthew's voice was full of thoughtfulness and tenderness.
Norah's burden also lightened a lot.
Although she knew that it was inappropriate to hold the hands of a man since she had married even it
was because of the heavy rain, she did not pull her hand free and refuse for the safety of the baby.
The road was quite slippery, and there were several stairs forward. If she walked alone, she would fall.
She couldn't imagine what if she fell down the stairs.
Norah felt more at ease and dared to go forward for Matthew was holding her hand.
In the pouring rain, Matthew held Norah's hand to walk in the front and she followed him.
His back was broad and tall.
Across the hazy rain curtain, there suddenly appeared a strong feeling of familiarity in Norah's mind.
Because this back was too very familiar for her.
It... looked like Shawn's a lot.
How could it be so similar?
Even for a moment, she thought it was Shawn who came to pick her up.
And then, the rain became heavier. Lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled with a torrential
downpour.
When going down the first stair, Norah didn't see the road clearly, and suddenly she missed her step.
She then lost balance and fell over instantly. Suddenly, her heartbeat seemed to cease.
She even went blank for a moment and completely forgot to think. She was full of fear.
She didn't open her eyes until she felt a strong embrace around her and it was not as painful as she
imagined.
Having realized that she had been caught, Norah immediately got relieved, "Thank you, Mat. It scared
me."
She was so scared that her heart almost ceased just now. Fortunately, he caught her.
"How is your foot? Did you sprain your ankle?" Matthew lowered his head and asked.
Norah moved her feet and found that she could move them easily. But the embarrassing thing was that
her sandals were broken after missing the step. So, she couldn't wear them anymore.
"My shoes seem to be broken, " Norah said. And then, she bent down and took off the sandals.
She said, "I don't want to wear shoes. I'll walk barefoot!"
"No, " Matthew directly denied, and then explained, "The road is slippery. It's too dangerous for you to
walk barefoot."
"But my shoes are broken, and I can't wear them. Don't worry. I'll be careful and walk slowly, " Norah
said.
At that time, Matthew suddenly bent down in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Come over. Let me
carry you."
Norah immediately refused without thinking, "No. I've already troubled you very much. I'll feel more
sorry if I let you carry me."
Besides, there shouldn't be too much intimacy between them.
Matthew knew what Norah worried about.
He turned to look at Norah with his bright eyes, "I know what you were worried about. Don't exert a
burden on yourself. I'd like to help you when you are in trouble no matter being a policeman or your
friend."
He said, "I have joined a lot of rescues in the rainstorm these years. I've carried many people including
old ladies in their nineties, girls in their twenties, and pregnant women who just got married. Don't feel
sorry. It is my duty."
He continued, "To me, you are nothing different from them. You are also the one who needs to be
rescued. Take it easy."
Matthew's persuasion worked. After that, Norah felt at ease.
"Tell me if you're tired. I can come down and walk by myself at any time."
"Okay."
After getting his promise, Norah bit her lips and got on his back.
Matthew picked up her shoes on the ground with one hand after carrying her on his back.
"I'll take the shoes!" Norah said and took the shoes.
They had just descended a few steps, and the rain was getting heavier. The whole mountain was
covered with a thick layer of fog, and even their vision became blurred.
And then, Matthew's cell phone rang.
His phone rang again and again. Norah thought his family must be worried about him.
"Mat, let me down. I can walk by myself, " Norah felt really sorry.
No one had ever treated her with so much meticulous care. Although it was raining heavily, she was full
of lots of warmth in her heart.
"It's alright."
And then, he carried Norah down the last stairs.
Although it was still far away from the gate of the mountain, there were no stairs. The road ahead was
flat cement pavement and only some of them were slopes, but it was much safer.
A few peals of thunder rumbled again.
Matthew looked up and said, "The rain might be getting heavier. Norah, hold me tight. Let's shelter in
the pavilion."
"Okay, " Norah put her arms around his neck tightly.
Matthew carried her on his back and started running forward swiftly.
Finally, Norah saw the pavilion in front of them a few minutes later.
She pointed at the pavilion and was very excited, "Mat, I see it. We will be there soon."
"Okay."
Two minutes later, Matthew carried Norah to the pavilion.
Norah immediately got off his back, and hurriedly handed him the mineral water from her bag. She
said, "You must be tired. Drink some water."
He was tired indeed. Matthew took a few breaths and drank the water.
But suddenly, Norah realized something wrong till she saw the empty bottle in front of her.
She seemed to give him the wrong bottle!
