Chapter 41


    The Merman, My Man by ck Velvet Chapter 41


    Someone saved me and it was someone who could swim in the icy cold water! I was saved!


    My heart ignited with new hope. I wanted to raise my head to see my savior’s face but I couldn’t


    because even my neck was stiff.


    He pushed me up causing the water to ssh where I had emerged from the surface, and swam


    towards the direction of all the shouting.


    The sound of my parents’ voices became clearer as I got closer. I was about to be saved!


    When warm light shone onto me, I realized that I could live to see another day even though my vision


    was bing blurry and my consciousness was slipping away.


    I could hear my mom exim, “Thank the Lord, it’s Linda! She’s swimming towards us. Oh, my child! “


    “Goodness gracious, it must be a miracle that she’s still alive! Come and take a look, someone is


    dragging her…“


    “Good Lord, what is that? It’s a…“


    The strong arm that was dragging me along the water surface suddenly released its grip. I was left


    floating on the water and I could feel myself drifting several meters. Then, several pairs of hands lifted

    me up.


    “My daughter. My dear.“


    I fell into my mom’s warm embrace as her hot tears dripped onto me, causing me to cry out loud. I


    weakly hugged her back and felt her warmth.


    Through the tears, I saw a man floating in the sea with his entire torso out of the water.


    I immediately recognized him as the man who had saved me. But why was it that he could float like that


    without swimming? And didn’t he fear the cold? The seawater was so cold that he cou1d’ve very well


    frozen to death!


    I opened my eyes to take a good look at him so that I could engrave my savior’s appearance into my


    memory. As I did that, a pair of deep blue eyes stared back into me. The sight of that made me scared


    so I turned to bury my face into my mom’s chest. I didn’t even have the courage to call him onto the


    boat.


    In the end, my savior didn’t get onto the boat. Who on Earth was he? The real question was, was he


    even human? …


    Suddenly, a low whisper could be heard next to my ear, “Di-ek-en“. The pair of deep blue eyes in front


    of me became clearer and they resembled the ones that had saved me in the memory.


    He was…


    It shocked me awake. Even though I had awoken from the nightmarish memory from when I was


    young, the feeling of being frozen didn’t fade away and it caused me to shiver.


    I was lying on the bed but there was an absence of light so I couldn’t tell whether it was day or night. I


    groggily realized that I just had a dream, a dream of a forgotten memory from my childhood.


    I went fishing with my grandpa and on the journey, the boat collided with an iceberg. My grandpa and


    everyone else on that trip had drowned in the ocean and I was the only one who was miraculously


    alive.


    I was saved, but my savior had disappeared into the sea and didn’t get onto the boat. There was no


    way a normal person would have suddenly appeared in the icy cold sea, what moree and go freely


    just like that. Perhaps this was the reason I subconsciously searched for merpeople even though I had


    already lost the memory.


    The events happened so long ago. Why was I suddenly remembering this? Wait! Those eyes…


    My mind was blown. Humiliating memories suddenly came crashing into my mind like waves. Raping


    me in such an embarrassing position, toying with my body, prating me, and even… I buried my


    head within the covers and bit my lip so hard that it bled.


    The pair of eyes I saw in both memories were the same. I tried to push the thought away, but only the


    sight of the deep blue eyes staring into me remained in my mind.


    No, it was impossible!


    I wanted to scream, but my throat was hoarse and painful.
