Chapter 1505: My Name Is Nicole—"Shallow" as in Depth, "Nicole" as in Tide [8]

Looking at the pale person leaning on him, Jose Floyd almost fell off the rubber dinghy into the floodwaters.

The armed police reacted quickly, grabbing hold of him, "Be careful! Why is your body so hot? This is a high fever! Do you not want to live? If you don’t find the person, you might even end up losing yourself!"

Jose Floyd didn’t respond to the officer, but anxiously urged, "Row over! That’s my wife!"

"What a coincidence?" The officer was shocked and immediately rowed the dinghy over.

As the dinghy approached, Jose Floyd almost without hesitation jumped off the dinghy and headed towards the person by the wooden post at the door.

In front of the store, submerged by floodwaters, there were steps that were not visible. Jose Floyd’s eyes were entirely focused on the person leaning on the wooden post. He tripped but luckily didn’t fall into the flood due to the life jacket.

Having steady his footing, Jose Floyd walked up the steps, the water covering his waist and above.

As he got closer, touching that unforgettable, all-too-familiar face, Jose Floyd could feel his heart pounding heavily, his fingertips and body trembling.

"Nicole——!"

Jose Floyd raised his hand, his long fingers trembling as they caressed her pale face, tracing her brows and eyes, his gaze filled with deep affection and joy.

"Nicole, wake up! Nicole!" Just as Jose Floyd was about to carry the fainted person away, he realized he couldn’t move her.

Jose Floyd groped around on Nicole’s body submerged in water, only to discover that she was tied to the wooden post with a rope.

"Nicole! Wake up! Nicole! Look at me!.....Nicole, open your eyes!..."

As Jose Floyd untied the rope, his anxious eyes turning deep red, he desperately called the unconscious person.

In a faint voice, Nicole slowly opened her eyes, upon hearing Jose Floyd’s hoarse, choking calls and immediately recognized the blurry figure in front of her.

Jose Floyd was helping to untie the rope, and as he felt her body trembling, he looked up at that pale face, pausing when he saw her slightly opened eyes.

Nicole moved her pale lips, but facing the similarly pale person before her, her throat clogged, unable to utter a word.

Jose Floyd quietly looked at her familiar face, untying the rope binding her, pursing his thin lips, and in a hoarse voice, extended his palm to Nicole, saying, "Jose Floyd—— remember this name; for the rest of my life, no matter what, I will never let you leave again. In cases of danger or trouble, wait for me, and I will definitely find you and keep you safe by my side for life!"

This promise, these words, were no different from when they first met. Back then, he also extended his hand to her, saying, "My name is Jose Floyd, remember these three words; from now on, these three words are your everything, for your whole life, understand?"

And now, in this scene, she had waited for him for over two years, and he finally came, extending his hand to her like when they first met, uttering almost the same words, stirring her heart, causing deep ripples inside.

The man Jose Floyd, these three words, truly, as his overbearing words were when they first met, took over all her thoughts, becoming the irreplaceable only one in her heart.

Nicole’s eyes welled with deep red, her throat choked, yet her heart was filled with unspeakable emotion and joy. She gazed at Jose Floyd in return, full of deep affection and tender love.

She reached out, placing her slender fingers into his palm, a slight smile blooming at the corners of her lips, her voice soft, "My name is Nicole, shallow as in depth, tide as in tidal."
