Chapter 64 Adeline''s Secret
It had happened in her sophomore year.
She and her family had attended old Mrs. Riley''s birthday party because she had been Logan''s
fiancée. After receiving the gifts, Old Mrs. Riley had let young people enjoy themselves instead of
apanying her.
Then, someone suggested ying hide and seek. Adeline and Vi had hidden behind the Riley
family''s vi in a thatched hut on the hill. And Vi had locked the door to prevent others from
finding them. After waiting a long time, no one had found them. But unexpectedly, there had
suddenly been a raging fire outside. The fire had rapidly spread with the help of the mountain wind
and immediately surrounded the hut. So they could not get out. And they soon felt dizzy because of
the smoke.
When she was about to lose consciousness, her three brothers hade. They had kicked the
door open with a bang, rushed in, picked Vi up from the ground, and carried her out. But no one
had noticed Adeline lying not far away.

"Help... me... "
Her voice had be hoarse because of the smoke, so she could only make a weak sound. But
her brothers had directly rushed out with Vi. They had not even looked back. Maybe they had not
heard her voice.
She had desperately watched them leave, feeling envious. And she had thought maybe she
deserved to die in the fire because she had been born without blessings. But she had been
unwilling to die at such a young age!
When she had been desperate and anxious, she had heard Logan loudly calling her name.
"Adeline! Is Adeline in there? She is still inside!"
She couldn''t hear his words clearly but had known people were persuading him out ofing in.
The fire had destroyed the beams, so the roof would copse anytime. The situation had been
dangerous.
Then, she had vaguely seen a tall man resolutely rushing into the mes. He hesitantly hugged her
and shouted, "Adeline, don''t sleep! Wake up! I''ll take you out. You will not die!"
She had never expected Logan to be so strong. After all, he had looked thin.
He had said she would not die. Those words had sounded pleasing to the ear. But she had been so
sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She vaguely remembered the hut had copsed as soon
as Logan had carried her out. Before passing out, she had smiled because of her survival. It had
been a narrow escape.
It was Logan who had given her a second life and let her know someone was willing to sacrifice his
life for her. He had made her realize she was not inferior to Vi.
When she woke up, he anxiously sat by the hospital bed. Seeing this, she had made up her mind to
marry him. After all, he had risked his life for her.
Recalling the past, Adeline let out a long sigh. After carefully thinking about it, she found she had
had no feelings for Logan before the fire. There had been no passion in their rtionship. But from
that day on, she had been determined to marry and be more enthusiastic toward him.
Because Logan had saved her life, she had repeatedly forgiven him. He had barely apanied
her. Judie had frequently appeared in their life. And they did not share the same values.
Adeline became more rational now. She knew there were a lot of ipatibilities between them.
But she had ignored them in the past because he had saved her life. It might not necessarily be bad
for them to have failed to get married.
But was Curtis suitable for her?
At the thought of this question, she suddenly wondered what his posts would be like. She couldn''t
help turning on her phone. When she opened the app, Curtis happened to post a posting.
