Caleb's eyes were filled with a fierce look as he searched the surroundings. After failing to find any trace of Penny, he began walking downhill.However, Nani did not want to leave. She seemed determined not to return without finding her owner."Nani."He called out in a cold voice, "Let's go, or I won't want you anymore."Nani sat on the grass, the sky still raining. Her fur was now completely soaked. Even though she liked Caleb, she refused to move at that moment.The man and the dog stared at each other for a while. Finally, Caleb was the one to compromise.He took off his suit and wrapped it around Nani, his face stern as he walked downhill.Not only the dog's owner, but even the dog was defying him.He was annoyed and angry but also understood that Nani was just worried about Penny.Sometimes, dogs would express their loyalty in clumsy ways.After their owners died, many dogs would even sleep on their graves.They understood what death was; they just could not speak.
The people at the scene were in a dilemma, not daring to leave Caleb alone there.However, Caleb simply raised his hand and glanced at his wristwatch."Come back when the seismic team tells you it's safe.""But sir..."At the moment, Caleb had already started walking along the path.The others reluctantly took hold of Nani. One by one, they grabbed the ropes dropped from the helicopters.…When Penny woke up, all she could hear was the sound of water dripping around her.It was especially clear amidst the silence.She tried to move forward, but the cave was so dark, even slightly lacking in oxygen.She coughed twice and realized that the echo inside was quite pronounced.Where was this?She could not see clearly in the darkness but knew she was in a cave, surrounded by surveillance cameras. She groped her way forward but almost fell due to an injury on her foot.A mechanical voice asked, "Where is the thing Casby gave you? If you refuse to tell, I'll trap you here for life
Caleb frowned and closed the door. All the visible doors in these walls were cliff traps, prompting him to wonder if there might be other hidden doors.Penny's voice reached his ears."Caleb!"Caleb's heart softened instantly, and he walked into one of the corridors."Penpen?"After turning into it, he saw Penny's silhouette.He hurriedly quickened his pace, but in the next second, he saw a gun pointed at him, followed by a gunshot.He reacted swiftly with the bullet barely grazing his shoulder.When he looked back at where Penny had been standing earlier, she was gone.His eyes narrowed fiercely, and he chased after the fleeing figure.Penny did not know how long she had been in the pit when the lights suddenly came on. The ceiling opened, and a rope was lowered.Her eyes brightened, and she quickly wrapped the rope around her waist.Someone was pulling her up.When she reached the surface, she saw Caleb with his chest covered in blood.No one knew how he had found his w
The ground started shaking again, and rocks began to fall from above in the corridor.Penny had no choice but to muster her strength. She helped Caleb up while planning to find somewhere to take cover.However, the ground along this corridor was spotlessly empty, without a single table or chair. Even the occasional door they came across revealed a cliff when she opened it, scaring her into breaking out in a cold sweat.She became increasingly aware of how difficult it had been for Caleb to make these markers along the way.Following the markers to the outermost part, the ground shook even more violently.Then, they came upon a door with a password lock.In this mountain, one could enter but not leave.They were separated by a single door from the outside. If the password was entered incorrectly, they would be trapped forever. Unless they chose to jump off the cliff, which was also a near-certain death.Caleb could not endure any more ordeals.Penny's eyes reddened. She could f
Her heart pounded wildly at the moment, but the flood had already swept them away.The landslide from the mountaintop, coupled with heavy rain and an earthquake, was nothing short of a disaster.…When Penny regained consciousness, she heard a man's voice."Ms. Sullivan should be waking up soon.""Is there anything wrong with her head?""No, just a concussion. She might experience brief dizziness in the first few days after waking up, but it's nothing serious.""What about Caleb?""Mr. Fergerson is still in the intensive care unit for observation. If he can make it through today, he should be fine."Hearing Caleb's name, Penny immediately became anxious.Caleb was severely injured. He had wounds on his chest and head. He was even swept away in the landslide and floodwaters.Was he really okay?Her heart started to ache, and she remembered the kiss before the flood swept over them. It was light as a feather, yet heavy. It spoke volumes more than words ever could.She opened
In the next ward, there were people sitting by Caleb's bed.There were Winston, Finn, and Quentin.As for the Fergersons who came to visit, most of them had gone back after staying there for so long.Moreover, most of them were not really sincere.Over half a month had passed since Caleb's bet with Automobile Maestros. With only a little over a month left, his accident at this critical moment led everyone to believe his defeat was certain.Perhaps by the time Caleb was discharged, he would no longer be the CEO of Fergerson Corporation.Quentin had another surgery scheduled. He wore a white coat and glanced at the two men standing there."Caleb probably won't wake up for a few days. There's no use waiting here."They all knew that Caleb was just lucky to be alive.Plus, they were all aware that it was for Penny.Penny was kidnapped, and he rushed over to rescue her.Winston wanted to light a cigarette but was stopped by a look from Quentin."Smoking is prohibited in the hosp
The crutch flew about three meters away.Penny's fingertips curled slightly as she looked up at him.Finn took out a cigarette, unabashedly meeting her gaze.Penny did not feel aggrieved and just slowly stood up."Mr. Sanders, what do you mean by this?"Was it because of Caleb or because she had provoked Selina before?Finn sized her up from head to toe. She had no visible injuries. She probably just hurt her foot, and she seemed to be in good spirits now.Unlike Caleb, who had been in and out of the emergency room several times. He almost stepped through death's door."Caleb suffered such severe injuries for you. You’ve reached the door of his ward, but you didn't even go in to see him?"Penny immediately understood that he did it for Caleb."There's someone looking after him."Chelsea was crying so heartbrokenly, and she was carrying Caleb's child.Finn found it amusing. His expression suddenly darkened, and he pushed her against the wall."Penny, if it weren't for him l
It was hard to imagine, and she dared not think about it.Two days later, Caleb finally woke up.His first sight was the white ceiling and the sound of a woman's noisy crying.Frowning, he raised his hand to touch his head but heard Sir Fergerson's voice."So, Caleb really got someone pregnant? When did this happen? Great job fooling around with women! When he wakes up, I ought to give him a piece of my mind!"Hearing this, Caleb's eyelashes fluttered, and he felt a headache.However, he did not move and wisely chose to continue sleeping.Meanwhile, Francis sat cold-faced in front of the bed while leaning on a cane.In the presence of Sir Fergerson, Chelsea did not dare to cry anymore and sat anxiously.Sir Fergerson's gaze lingered on her before asking, "When did this happen, and how did you meet him?"Chelsea knew this was Sir Fergerson, a figure she could not afford to offend. He was an existence beyond her wildest dreams.However, this was her one chance in life. If she
