Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 76: Old Friend (2)

Ner, who found a seashell shining in the colors of a rainbow, turned to look at Berg.

"Berg! This is..."

And then, she froze at the sight before her.

"........."

Berg was slipping a ring onto Arwin's finger.

A gentle smile was exchanged between the two.

It was clear that they were teasing one another.

At that sight, Ner's heart sank heavily, and once again, an uncomfortable pain washed over her.

Flustered by the sensation, Ner turned her head away.

She crouched down, gazing into the clear seawater.

"...?"

She kept getting lost in thought. Why does her heart sting so much?

The pain seemed to intensify as the days went by.

At first, it was a feeling of suffocation. Then, it became a heavy pressure. Now, it was sheer pain...

"..."

Ner looked out at the horizon, watching the sunset.

It was a sight so beautiful that no other words could describe it.

...Berg and Arwin were, in such a breathtaking place, having their own kind of wedding.

Ner's brows furrowed deeper upon realizing this.

She looked at her reflection mirrored in the shimmering waves.

She couldn't recall the last time she wore such a negative expression.

It was a look she never wore when she was with Berg.

Suddenly, Ner felt the urge to intervene between them.

Arwin didn't welcome this marriage.

She claimed she couldn't love Berg, who was of a short-lived specie.

Therefore, Ner wasn't sure if interrupting their time together would truly be in Arwin's best interest.

With that thought, Ner stood up from her spot.

Turning her body, she looked at Berg.

Seeing his smiling face, she walked towards him.

"Berg... Ah!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot up from her foot.

Ner, due to the sudden pain, lost her balance and fell.

"Ugh..."

Red blood began to spread in the clear water.

As she sat in the shallow water, groaning in pain, someone rushed over hurriedly.

"Ner!"

Only rolled her eyes to see, it was Berg running towards her.

Seeing him run over, the pain from her foot seemed to dissipate.

Even the heaviness near her heart seemed to fade.

"Be... Be careful!"

At the same moment, Ner sent a warning to Berg.

She hoped he wouldn't get hurt the same way she did.

However, Berg didn't seem to heed her warning.

With long strides, he approached and lifted her.

"..."

Berg lightly clicked his tongue, seemingly regretful about her injury.

Then, without a word, he carried her towards the shore.
