Terry arrived at Selma's a little after three in the afternoon. This time, he came with a poverty alleviation project, but the poverty alleviation project in Terry's hands is not in Selma, but in Riverdale next to Selma.Terry knew that the Hall Group was also building poverty alleviation projects here this year, and thinking of what Jessica said that day, he guessed that Jessica had come over here.Jerry took some time to find out that Jessica went into the base in the mountains today, but Jessica and Wendy will take a flight the day after tomorrow morning, and they will definitely return to town tonight."Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall will definitely come back tonight. It's still early, so why don't we go to the place where Ms. Hall lives and wait for her?"Terry looked out of the car window at the wind and snow, with lowered eyes and a somewhat cold expression. "Hmm."The snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier.Jerry heard Terry respond and instructed the driver to go to the house w
The villagers, who were quite old, rode a horse and rushed through the wind and snow, directly blocking the front of the main force.Terry's temper was particularly bad at this time. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, but nicotine couldn't calm his inner irritability.He squinted his eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight to the front of the queue.Suddenly, a car emerged, startling the elderly villager who was in the middle of negotiating.Jerry saw the situation and quickly jumped out of the car and ran to Terry's car, saying, "Mr. Davison..."The snow was so heavy that as soon as Jerry opened his mouth, he was hit in the face by the wind and snow.But he knew that Terry was now like a fierce beast, uncontrollable by anyone.The villager said something unknown, and the leader of the rescue team frowned, "None of us knew how to ride a horse."With a semi-dialect accent, Terry still managed to understand as he looked at the old villager leading the black horse, sud
Wendy pulled Jessica and said, "Ms. Hall, shall we go forward a little more?"Jessica glanced at her, her hands and feet were already numb from the cold. Looking at Wendy's pleading eyes, Jessica bit her lip.Her cracked lips were suddenly bitten, causing blood to flow. The taste of blood made Jessica slightly sober. She glanced at Harold, who was waiting ahead of them, and said, "Let's go."Once stopped, I didn't want to continue walking.Jessica remained silent and followed Wendy silently all the way.Wendy's situation wasn't good either, but she knew that this time, she had to bring Jessica back safely.When Jessica fell down, Wendy was scared for the first time.Harold heard a scream and quickly turned back, but he didn't have much strength left. He gritted his teeth and barely managed to carry Jessica.Harold lifted Jessica from the snow and pinched her philtrum. When his hand touched Jessica, Harold's hand trembled slightly. "Ms. Hall, she has a fever!""What should we do, Harol
The medical staff quickly drove down to pick up Jessica. "Ms. Hall's blood oxygen level is a bit low; blood pressure is too high; heart rate and breathing are both speeding up. She needs to be quickly taken to the hospital for emergency treatment!"Terry froze for a moment upon hearing these words.Jessica in her arms was carefully handed over by the nurses and placed onto the ambulance bed, and then lifted onto the vehicle.Terry wiped his face, reached out and grabbed the car door, and got into the ambulance.In the heavy snowfall, the ambulance rushed towards the hospital with its siren blaring.This unexpected blizzard caught people off guard. Selma was severely affected, and Jessica was not the only one sent to the hospital for treatment.However, only a few people were rushed into the emergency room for treatment, and Jessica was among them.Jessica's situation was very grim. The doctor worked tirelessly for over forty minutes before the door to the emergency room was finally op
Jessica had a dream where she saw a blizzard. Terry rode a horse with a light and broke through the darkness to reach her, lifting her up as she was already exhausted.He also apologized, saying that he was late.Just as she was about to open her mouth to tell him that he hadn't arrived late, a huge mass of snow suddenly collapsed from the side of the mountain towards them."Terry, run quickly!"She tried her best to push Terry away, but she was a step too late. The heavy snow fell and buried them directly.She fell back into darkness again, unable to see any light or Terry.Half of her body was buried in the snow, with only her head and hands sticking out. Jessica waved her hands continuously, trying to find Terry, but no matter how she groped, she couldn't find him."Terry, where were you?""I was here."Suddenly, her hand was held by someone, but Terry's voice was weak."Are you okay?""Fortunately.""Terry?""I was there.""Terry?""Um."The response from the other party grew weak
Jessica nodded, "I was hungry."She had indeed experienced such a thrilling and heart-stopping event, narrowly escaping death. Now that she has awakened, both mentally and physically, she still feels a bit of fear and exhaustion. The sound of her voice is weak, lacking any strength.Terry immediately became sober and realized that Jessica had really woken up. It wasn't a dream. He looked at her, his eyes filled with mixed emotions, but in the end, he suppressed them. "There is porridge and soup here. Do you want to drink soup or eat porridge?"He withdrew his hand, and it was only then that Jessica noticed Terry's hand was slightly swollen and red.She frowned and grabbed Terry's wrist directly, "What happened to your hand?"Terry took a glance and gently shook off her hand, nonchalantly saying, "It's nothing, just got some frostbite.""Did you apply the ointment?"He didn't respond to her, and Jessica guessed that he probably hadn't heard her.Terry opened the thermos flask beside hi
"What happened?"Seeing her look up, Terry couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.Jessica averted her gaze and looked down at Terry's hands. "It's nothing, I can't stomach it anymore. Let the nurse get you some medicine to apply on your hands."Terry's swollen hands were too eye-catching, Jessica couldn't bear to watch."Weren't you hungry?"Terry glanced at her, placed the spoon into the bowl, and reached out to press the bell."I couldn't drink it anymore."When she woke up, she was indeed hungry, but she had been sick and didn't have much of an appetite. After finishing a bowl of soup, Jessica also felt that her stomach wasn't as empty, but of course, she couldn't naturally continue to eat.Seeing him like this, Terry didn't insist anymore.He rang the bell just now, and the nurse came quickly.Terry got up and made room for the nurse, "She had just drunk a bowl of soup.""It seems that Ms. Hall was in a good condition."The nurse smiled and gently asked Jessica to raise her hand, coo
Lucas withdrew his gaze gloomily and walked towards the elevator, lifting his leg.Terry watched his back until he entered the elevator, and then he returned to the ward with the frostbite ointment in his hand.Jessica thought it was Lucas coming back, she frowned, her patience had already been exhausted. "Can't you understand human language?"However, when I looked up, I realized it was Terry.I scolded the wrong person.Jessica was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I thought it was him."Terry chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I don't think I was as annoying as Lucas."He said, placing the frostbite ointment he had in his hand onto her blanket, "Here, I have opened the frostbite ointment."Terry didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear, obviously asking Jessica to help him wipe.Jessica smiled and did not refuse.After all, Terry's chilblains on her hands were also caused by him in order to save her.Jessica took the frostbite ointment out of the box, tore it open, and pick
"Is it me? Have you got any news?""I was in Phoenix and had just received a package from Luna. Inside, there was a ring, Luna's letter, and... an urn."Terry's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "urn". "Where are you?" he asked."Just left Finger Cliff.""I was watching the surveillance footage at the police station."Upon hearing his words, Lucas on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I'm coming over."Terry responded with a sound, hung up the phone, and raised his hand to vigorously wipe his face.He was not in the mood to watch the surveillance footage anymore. He had been staring at it for over seven hours since around four o'clock in the morning, and his eyes were already hurting.However, with so many vehicles, he did not find any car with abnormalities."Rodney."Terry stood up and looked at Rodney.Seeing that he finally agreed to take a break, Rodney breathed a sigh of relief a
That evening was clearly painful and unbearable.When Terry woke up, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.The ward was very quiet. As soon as he opened his eyes, he instinctively looked for Jessica.However, everything around him was unfamiliar, without Jessica, only he himself.He still had an IV drip in his hand, but Terry directly pulled out the needle. Just as he walked out of the ward, he happened to see Rodney walking towards him from the direction of the elevator.Terry ran over directly and asked, "How is Jessica doing, Rodney?"Rodney glanced at Terry, feeling a bit reluctant. "Mr. Davison, I'm sorry, but up until now, we haven't received any news about Ms. Hall."Upon hearing Rodney's words, Terry trembled slightly and asked, "Has Lucas contacted me?""Mr. Thomas called shortly after you had just passed out, and he was also inquiring about Ms. Hall's condition."There was no news from e
When Luna woke up, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.She was hanging on the cliff for nearly three hours. Although she didn't suffer much injury, she had a fever because of fear and the cold sea breeze blowing on the cliff for more than three hours at night. When she was taken to the hospital, her temperature had risen to forty degrees. It wasn't until after eleven o'clock at night that the fever finally subsided.Plus, the things she has experienced in the past few days have been too horrifying. She has been living in fear for so long that her mental state is almost on the verge of collapse. After waking up, she completely lost control of her emotions and screamed while holding her head.Upon hearing Olivia's cry, Vincent quickly instructed the person next to him to go in and comfort Olivia, then turned around and ran downstairs to the hospital to find Lucas.When he found Lucas, Lucas was sitting in the smoking area, with a trash can right
The man in the passenger seat frowned when he saw the situation and said, "Hasn't he died?"He said as he bent down and checked Olivia's breath, feeling a faint pulse in his hand. The man breathed a sigh of relief, "She's not dead."Saying that, he grabbed Olivia's hand, hoisted her up, and threw her back into the car. "Let's go, to Wind Cliff!"The van started up again, and Olivia inside had already fainted.When Olivia woke up again, she found herself dropped down a cliff, with a vast sea below.She screamed loudly in fright, and the two men on the cliff heard her scream, furrowing their brows, but no one paid attention to her.Carson City was gradually getting dark at seven o'clock when Lucas arrived at Wind Cliff, precisely at half past seven.The sky had already turned completely dark, and the sea water surged up, with the water below churning fiercely.Lucas did not see Olivia, and there was no one on the cliff.Ho
Around six in the evening, Rodney brought a boxed meal and handed it to Terry. "Mr. Davison, I understand your mood, but if you can't take care of your own body, how can you save Ms. Hall?"Terry took the boxed meal and said, "Thank you."He just didn't have much appetite and mechanically stuffed food into his mouth.The sunset at Finger Cliff was beautiful, but none of the people on the mountaintop were in the mood to appreciate it at that moment, after all, a young life was at stake.Rodney looked at Terry stuffing rice into his mouth, sighed slightly, and handed him a bottle of mineral water.This time, Terry didn't refuse. He finished the boxed lunch while drinking mineral water.At 7 o'clock in the evening, night fell, but everything around remained the same, except that the wind had become a bit colder than during the day.Terry looked at the cigarette in Rodney's hand for a moment, then he spoke up, "Rodney, can you give me a c
Jerry heard Terry's words and instinctively looked up at him.When Jerry's gaze met those peach blossom eyes, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. "Mr. Davison, Ms. Hall is so smart, she must be able to handle it.""Is that so?"Terry lowered his head and raised his hand to cover the watch on his left hand.This is a customized couple watch made by Jessica, and there are only two of them in the world, making them unique.But as he watched the time pass by minute by minute on the watch, there was no joy in his heart. He had not seen her or heard her voice for twenty-five consecutive hours.This feeling was more painful than when he first found out that she was going to marry Lucas.He was really scared.Jerry had followed Terry for so many years and had never seen Terry like this before. Now, looking at him, Jerry also felt uneasy inside.But now Jessica has not been found yet, everything is still unknown. If they try a li
Running during the day is much better than running at night, at least you can see the road clearly.But inside this mountain, everywhere was trees and waist-high weeds, there was simply no path for Jessica to run.Jessica didn't have much strength left; she only knew that she couldn't be caught up.But she could still hear the woman's screaming voice, knowing without a doubt that she hadn't run far.The woman was probably going to call the man. It was all grass everywhere, where did she run to, they would find her if they were a bit smarter.Jessica stopped and leaned against a tree, catching her breath while analyzing the terrain.Looking around, she couldn't see any houses, so she couldn't ask for help.Jessica hesitated whether to run towards the foot of the mountain or up the mountain.She didn't have much time to hesitate anymore, as the man's angry roar and the woman's curses behind her were reminding her that they were a
The driver brother talked a lot. Jessica didn't know whether to believe his nonsense or not, but she was already exhausted.Fortunately, they chatted for more than ten minutes, and the taxi driver also noticed that Jessica was very tired. He handed her a bottle of mineral water and told her to take a nap. "I just finished delivering the goods and need to go home to pick up new ones. Don't mind, take a rest for a while. We will arrive at my house in ten minutes."Jessica took the mineral water and unscrewed it, then drank more than half of it directly.The elder brother driver stopped talking, and she also remained silent, turning her head to look out of the car window. She almost fell asleep several times, but she managed to hold on.The driver did not deceive him, his house was indeed just nearby. The small truck drove into a village, and Jessica got out of the car with him."Have some breakfast first. The police station is five kilometers ahead.
Neither of the two men expected that Jessica would suddenly escape, after all, her hands and feet were tied with ropes.The two of them were chatting just now. Although they occasionally glanced at Jessica, they found that when Jessica disappeared, she had already run seven or eight meters away.Two men were in the car and they really thought Jessica had diarrhea. They felt a bit disgusted, so they closed the car door. However, they realized that she had run away when they opened the door, causing a delay of one or two seconds. By the time the two men got out of the car, Jessica had already run up the hill.Late at night, in the quietness, the outskirts of the area within ten miles seemed deserted as if there were no households around. Two men's angry shouts were closely chasing from behind.Jessica was wearing high heels on her feet, and she was not running comfortably. However, the mountain road was overgrown with weeds, and if she took off her shoes, s
