The Merman, My Man by Black 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 splash 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 becoming blurry and my consciousness was slipping away.

I could hear my mom exclaim, “Thank the Lord, it’s Linda! She’s swimming towards us. Oh, my child! “ Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“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 more come 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, penetrating 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.
