Chapter 439 Failing to Save You"This is great. You're incredible!" Zach swung the captain of the bodyguards away and swirled about in anger.After a while, he saw those bodyguards hanging their heads, disoriented. He yelled again, "What are you waiting for? Find a way to go down the mountain and save them.""Yes, sir." Upon hearing Zach's order, the bodyguards hurriedly nodded and got scattered. They surveyed the terrain, trying to find a way down the cliff.His eyes red, Zach took out his phone and called the rescue team.Whether Mr. Flint was dead or not, Zach had to find him.The man Zach was worried about was hanging from the cliff face.He was holding Sydney. His other hand was grasping a tree trunk that was as thick as the wrist.Halfway down the cliff, he spotted this small tree and instinctively grabbed its trunk, thus stopping the fall.Unfortunately, the tree trunk was not thick and barely strong enough to bear his weight alone, not to mention two people.The tree
Chapter 440 Artificial RespirationIn this life, she could no longer pay him back...Sydney wailed.Sorry!Sydney silently said to Julien in her heart.They descended very quickly. In just a few seconds, they were at the bottom of the cliff, but for Sydney, it was as long as a century.Sydney took a deep breath, ready to accept the fact of having her body smashed to pieces.She and Julien unexpectedly did not fall onto the hard ground but into a bottomless lake.Flop!The two of them smashed heavily into the lake, and the water splashed up as high as two meters.Sydney immediately opened her eyes. The cold lake water kept flowing into her eyes, ears, and nose, making her feel very uncomfortable.But she was excited and full of great joy.She tore off the tape on her mouth and smiled with her mouth closed.She didn't die! She survived!Originally, she had thought that she would definitely die after falling off the cliff; however, unexpectedly, the bottom of the cliff was a
Chapter 441 His Left Arm Was BrokenShe couldn't stop crying.Julien tried hard to give a faint smile. Though his face was pale and his body was wet, he still looked handsome.He raised his right hand to wipe the tears from her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry. You look not as beautiful as usual when you cry."When Sydney heard what he said, she shot an angry glance at him. "We’ve just escaped death. There is no need to pay attention to our appearance."Julien withdrew his hand. "Yeah. You’re right.""Well." Sydney straightened his body slightly. "How did you sink into the bottom of the lake?"Julien closed his eyes slowly. "When we fell off the cliff, I was under you. As we fell off a high cliff, the pressure on the water surface was very strong, and the surface was as hard as a rock. The moment I fell into the water, my head and back seemed to hit a large hard rock, so I lost consciousness."‘It turns out to be so.’"Is there anything wrong with your head and back
Chapter 442 Shelter Themselves in a CaveWhen Sydney saw such a scene, her face froze. She rushed to catch Julien.As Julien was heavy, Sydney stumbled backward before she managed to stabilize her footing."Julien, how are you feeling?" Sydney asked worriedly as she held Julien's back.Julien didn't answer. His eyes were closed, and his head rested on Sydney's shoulder as if he was asleep.Sydney realized that Julien might have passed out.He had suffered a severe blow to his head, and he kept feeling dizzy. He would have passed out sooner or later.In such a condition, there was no way Julien could walk on his own now.Sydney took a deep breath, turned around, put Julien's arms on her shoulders, and took him forward.Sydney was walking toward the south. Ahead of her was a thin forest. She should be out of the woods soon.Once she was out of the woods, she might meet someone.As Sydney walked forward with Julien, she turned her head to look at the man on her back, the look i
Chapter 443 Julien Wakes upIn the circumstances, Sydney didn't have time to feel shy but reached out to take off Julien's clothes.She took off his suit jacket easily. However, in the next second, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.The white shirt on his back was stained by blood.The bright red blood had blended with water and turned into pink because he was soaked in the water just now."Oh, my God!" She covered her mouth subconsciously and trembled.Why did he bleed heavily?She had thought that he had hit his back and his back was bruised.To her surprise, he bled!Soon, she remembered that the Old Madam gave him a whipping not long ago. His wounds might haven't healed yet. Thus, he bled because his wounds opened up again.She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. She reached out her hands again and took off his shirt carefully.Then she saw his back's condition.It was shocking.The skin on his back was mutilated, and his back was covered wit
Chapter 444 Julien's ScarThen Julien noticed other things. 'Why is there a cave here? And where did all these quilts, cooking utensils, and other stuff come from?' "Where did all this stuff come from?" Julien asked, grabbing the quilt covering his body.Sydney explained, "They were already in the cave when we came here.""The cave was equipped with these things?" Julien raised his eyebrows. He was rather surprised.Sydney nodded her head, "Yes. I intended to carry you out of the forest to see if there's anyone out there. If we meet anyone, we'll be rescued. But before we got out of the forest, the sky turned dark, and it was going to rain. Then I found this cave. And I brought you here to hide from the rain. When we came in, I found these things.""So that's it." Julien nodded, and then he frowned, "Could this cave be inhabited by some fugitive?"Some fugitives used to hide in the mountains.So when a cave was equipped with these things, it was common for one to think that the
Chapter 445 A Good Listener"She is indeed my father’s mistress." Julien rubbed his eyebrows and said.Sydney's eyes widened. "What? She is your father’s mistress?""Yeah.""But why are you still treating her...""She is not the other woman as you think, because she didn’t destroy the love between my parents. Actually, my parents didn’t love each other. They got married just because of family interests, and it was their responsibility to have a child. After I was born, my parents separated. Later, my father knew Velma and fell in love with her." Julien leaned back against the stone wall.Sydney nodded understandingly. "I see."It was the first time that Julien had told Sydney about his parents.‘Unexpectedly, his parents didn't love each other.’"And then? After your father fell in love with Velma, didn't your mother get angry?" Sydney asked again, looking at Julien.‘Even if she didn't love Julien’s father, he was her husband anyway.’‘It should be impossible for her to ign
Chapter 446 They Were Finally SavedSydney blinked blankly.She remembered staying half a meter away from Julien when she went to bed the night before.Sydney thought, "Could it be that he leaned over in the middle of the night?"As soon as this speculation came up, it was rejected by Sydney herself.Because Julien had gone to bed earlier than her, and he was in the same position as he was now, he shouldn't have woken up in the middle of the night.He didn't wake up, and he was so close to her. And the only explanation was that she had become restless and squeezed in!Thinking about it, Sydney suddenly became a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that she would be so restless when she fell asleep.But soon, Sydney calmed down.She thought, "Since no one saw my move, as long as I didn't mention it to Julien, he won't know!"After stretching, Sydney lifted the quilt and went to the fire.The fire had died out because all of the wood had been consumed. The firewood, however,
