Chapter 1567
Looking at the brightening sky, Charmine reassured Maurice, "The sun's coming out, so let’s just hold on a little longer. Someone will come for us!" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Maurice pursed his lips.
He knew for a fact that a landslide might happen anytime. Nobody would risk their lives coming up here.
However, he did not show his concern in front of Charmine, gently answering, "Good."
Just as Maurice was about to say something else, a worried yet familiar sound was heard from outside of the cave, "Ms. Jordan, are you here? Ms. Jordan?"
Charmine was shocked.
Was that...Guy? 1 “I'm here!" she instantly shouted back.
When Guy heard her response, he recalled the location Anthony had told him and rushed toward it. 1
When he got closer, he realized that this was a collapsed pit.
He called out to the inside, "Ms. Jordan, are you in there?" "Yes!" Charmine looked up at him and said in surprise, "Mr. Granger, how did you end up here?"
Guy sent in a ladder and, not wanting to upset her and tell her that Anthony had came, explained, "It was Ms. Eck...Yvonne saw the news on the Blue Charm. She likes this diamond, too, so we’ve kept an eye on the SN Mine. We then found out about the landslide. They said you're at the top and I was worried about you, so I came."
Charmine nodded and watched as the ladder was sent in. Sighing in relief, she turned around to reassure Maurice, "Mo, we’re saved!”
She had been anxious the whole time, fearing he would be in danger because of her.
"Yeah." Maurice was very surprised.
He thought he would die here with Charmine.
Charmine efficiently untied the strings around her. She stood up and felt her hands and feet going numb.
She did not care about herself. She quickly walked to Maurice and helped unbound him.
The ladder reached the bottom. Charmine wanted Maurice to go first, but he stood behind her to support the ladder for her.
"You go first, Gem."
Charmine felt warmth spreading within her as she gazed at him. She did not insist and went up the ladder first.
After seeing her scaling the ladder, Maurice was relieved and followed behind her.
However, with the mud being soft, the spot where Maurice stood had a large dent on it, what with Maurice's heavy figure.
The entire ladder trembled.
Moreover, Maurice was mentally unsteady and physically feeble after inhaling too much of the rosemary scent. He lost his balance and fell back onto the mud.
"Argh!" he yelped in pain, face contorting into a grimace.
His back was hurt by a crushed stone, and it jolted him awake. 1 "Mo!"
Charmine heard his yelp and looked back, seeing Maurice falling down. Frowning, she asked worriedly, "Are you hurt? Do you want me to come down for you?" "No, I'm fine..."
Maurice struggled to get back up. He shook his head, fought back the sharp pain, and held onto the ladder shakily before he finally climbed up the ladder, getting out.
His face was pale, and he could not even stand up straight.
Charmine looked at how hurt he was, and she then noticed the patch of blood on his back.
Her heart sank.
She remembered right then and there that when they slid down here yesterday, Maurice shielded her with his own body.
