Chapter 257: Reunion
“No, Madame. Is he a friend of yours that got lost? Should I help you search for him?” the guard offered with genuine concern.
“No! It’s ok...I...I have to go...” I said in a hurry before sprinting away.
I can’t waste any more time. Where could Reiner be?
I stopped in my tracks when a thought suddenly hit me.
The tree.
Without any more thought, I started sprinting to that old tree where I had spent time with him around when we first met. I was breathless by the time that I arrived. Then my heart almost stopped as I spotted a silhouette of a tall man deep in the dimly lit garden.
“R! Please wait! R!” I shouted so loud that I was shocked at how loud I could be.
I ran towards him as fast as I could, ignoring the tall grass and dry leaves scratching at my feet and ankles. There was no way he couldn’t hear me at this distant.
Although the man did not make an attempt to walk away, he did not turn to face me. I ran up to him and hugged him tightly from behind. I knew for certain from the first moment that I touched him that after all these years of being apart, I had finally come in contact with Reiner once again.
