The team leader paused for a moment and let out a small sigh.
While the wind had diminished somewhat, the swirling debris in the air was increasing. He even spotted a series of ice fragments about the size of a baby's fist.
Getting hit by one of those could be deadly.
"Don't worry," the team leader reassured them as he noticed their silence. "According to our measurements, this wind should pass in about two hours. We'll be there to find you as soon as it's safe."
Joe and Charlotte exchanged glances and agreed.
The continuous bombardment of debris temporarily made Charlotte forget about the pain in her head as she focused intently on Joe.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Even Joe found it a bit odd to be scrutinized so intently by Charlotte.
Charlotte didn't know what was going on in Joe's mind. She simply shook her head and said, "Just now, in that moment of dizziness, I felt like we've experienced something like this before..."
Hearing Charlotte's words, Joe widened his eyes slightly, gazing at her intensely. "We have indeed experienced it... Do you remember?"
Charlotte initially thought it was just a fleeting illusion, but she was astonished to discover that it had happened.
This statement acted like a key, unlocking the door to her memories.
Her face was deathly pale, and she tightly closed her eyes, feeling the onslaught of memories and a severe headache.
"What's happening to you?" Joe, in anxious concern, looked at Charlotte. He struggled to free himself, using nearly all his strength to pull his right hand out and gently touch Charlotte's face.
Sensing her abnormally warm forehead, Joe's heart sank slowly. "You have a fever?"
Joe immediately looked at her with concern. "Are you feeling better? Is there any discomfort?"
Charlotte stared into Joe's eyes and said slowly, word by word, "I remember everything now."
"What do you remember..." Joe was still concerned about Charlotte's condition and didn't react at first. Then, his eyes widened involuntarily.
He looked at Charlotte and asked, "You've recovered your memories?"
Charlotte nodded. "I remember everything... Thank you for being with me during this time."
Joe didn't expect that her first words after regaining her memories would be this. He furrowed his brows, about to respond.
But then, Charlotte suddenly smiled and earnestly said to him, "I love you."
