“No way!” Kerry refused. “I won’t let you take her away.”
“What if I have to do this? What if I make her fall in love with me?”
Kerry’ s face contorted and said: “Then I’ll kill her.”
Kerry knew Venus doesn’t love him, but he couldn’t allow her to fall in love with another man, and her
falling in love with his brother was just insufferable.
Kevin knew he was not just bluffing, so he was a little bit concerned for Venus’s safety. He softened his
tone and said: “Big brother, I know it is my fault to fall in love with Venus. But I just can’t control my
emotions. Big brother, I have never begged you once, but this time, I have to ask you to do me a favor.”
Kerry looked at his brother, whose face contorted in pain, and felt very sorry for him. Whatever
happens, he is always Kevin’s big brother, and Kevin is his only family in this world. Besides, Kevin’s
hand wouldn’t be ruined if he didn’t try to save his life.
Kerry put his hand on Kevin’s shoulder and sighed heavily. “Kevin, the reason why you have fallen in
love with her is only because she is the only woman in your life. There are so many wonderful girls who
are better than Venus. I will throw you a big party and invite all the good girls in the city, and you can
get to know them, and then you will forget about Venus.”
Kevin widened his eyes in disbelief. “What?”
“Our parents have passed away. So it is up to me to arrange things like this. It’s settled.” Kerry said in
an imperative tone of voice.
Kevin froze for a few seconds. He then nodded and said: “Fine. I know.”
He said yes only because he wanted Kerry to let his guard down. When the time is right, he will still
take Venus away.
“Let’s go back. It’s time for dinner.”
Kerry walked at the front, and Kevin followed behind. They seemed to be in harmony, but none of them
was at ease.
When they arrived at the village, Kerry saw a few old men were running to the direction of that hotel.
He stopped a person and asked: “What happened? Why are you running?”
“Someone fell in the pond.’
Kerry felt nervous. Could it be Venus?
“I’ll go have a look.” Kerry said to Kevin, and then ran towards the hotel.
There were a few village people around the pond, and they were all old people.
“She has gone down for a long time. Why hasn’t she come up yet?” An old man said concernedly. “I
have to check it out.” Then he was about to jump into the pond.
An old woman grabbed him and said: “You have heart disease, remember? You can’t jump into the
water!”
“But that girl is probably in danger!” He said, and began removing his shoes.
Kerry grabbed his arm and asked: “What kind of girl?”
The moment he finished, the peace of the surface of the pond was broke and someone emerged from
it. It was none other than Venus. There was a two year old boy in her arms. The boy’s face was pale,
and no one knew whether he was still breathing.
“He is alive. Save him.” Venus pushed the boy to the crowd, and someone grabbed the boy’s arm and
pulled him up.
The village people were then busy with saving the boy, and no one seemed to remember there was still
Venus in the water.
Kerry didn’t know whether he should feel angry or not. He reached out and said: “Give me your hand.”
Venus rubbed her face. Her eyes were sparking, and they were even more bright than the dew on the
lotus flowers. He lifted her arm up to grab Kerry’ s hand, but suddenly, something trembled her and she
was again submerged by the water.
“Venus!!” Kerry’ s heart was pounding violently. At that moment, he felt he lost something very
important in his life. He removed his clothes quickly and jumped into the water.
The water at the middle of the pond was not very deep, because they need to grow lotus in the middle,
but the water at the edge was at least two meters deep. Kerry got into the water and searched for
Venus. Soon, he saw Venus was trying to untie something on her leg a few meters away form him.
Kerry swam to her quickly, and found her face was pale, and her actions were rather slow. He held her
waist and pushed her up so that she could get air.
“Are you trying to kill yourself or something? Do you have any idea how dangerous is that?” Kerry
shouted at her.
Venus coughed violently. She rested her head on Kerry’ s shoulder. “I want to get out, but my leg is
entangled in something. I don’t know what to do.”
Kerry glared at her and said: “Stay right here. I will help you to remove it.”
Then, Kerry went under the water. The water was not clear. Kerry had to bend down to see what was
on her leg. Turned out, Venus’s leg was entangled in some rattan, and there were also cuts on her
legs, because she just tried to kick them off.
Kerry tried to remove these rattan, but there were so much. Kerry could feel he was in desperate need
for oxygen, and his heart was also pounding violently. When there was no air in his chest, he swam up
and took a deep breath.
Venus looked at his reddened face and said: “You must be careful.”
Kerry felt very glad hearing what she said. He looked at her with affection and went down again.
He repeated it three or four times, and Venus’s body was getting cold. She was still having a period, so
she could no longer bear it.
Kerry noticed her body was shivering, and he got more nervous.
