My Heart only Beats for You

In the ferocious, gushing river, Remington spotted a crocodile so huge his heart almost leaped out of his mouth.

The crocodile's savage stare was enough to scare the life out of him.

He could have fled and escaped, but at that moment, he suddenly fell into a trance.

At the very second he got distracted, the crocodile seized the opportunity to pounce, attacking him.

It opened its bloody mouth as it lunged at Remington, so close he could see the remnants of its previous prey stuck between its dagger teeth clearly.

Even though his reaction was quick, the crocodile still got him, sinking its fang deep inside his flesh.

If it weren't for his friend who killed the crocodile with a gun, he might have already died on the spot.

Blood spurted out from the wound as he laid on the ground, groaning helplessly. At that moment, the agonizing pain electrocuted his entire body when something suddenly became clear in his mind. Everything seemed to click into place in that instant.

Remington squinted as a ray of bright light shone directly into his eyes.

His eyelids slowly fluttered open.

The first person he saw was Natalie.

She was staring at him anxiously, her eyes filled with concern.

Natalie was stunned for a while when she saw Remington wake up at long last from his deep sleep.

She didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

"You're awake, Remington! Thank God, you've finally woken up." Natalie cried out.

She was smiling, but tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Earlier on, the doctor had told her that Remington might regain consciousness soon.

She had been waiting for him in the ward ever since.

Although she was already mentally prepared, she still couldn't stop herself from being emotional when she saw Remington open his eyes.

From the moment she arrived at the hospital, she had been waiting for him to wake up, and more than once feared she might never get to see him again. Now, there he was, alive and conscious. "Please stop crying. Your tears are dripping onto my wound," he joked feebly, and his eyes curved into half-moons.

Remington's voice was still hoarse, probably because he had just awoken from weeks of coma.
