As her body was falling, she acted fast and swiftly grabbed onto a protruding rock on the cliff. At the moment, even though her body was hanging mid-air, it was at least safe from falling. She kept her balance and never looked down. Using her instincts, she started finding steps with her feet until she could finally step into a concave spot. She was still gasping for breath, her heart about to bounce out of her chest. Summer did not have the courage to look down as she was afraid of heights. This was the furthest her courage could bring her, as she had already used up all the bravery she had left in her body.At that moment, a sharp scream echoed. Summer lifted her head and saw Raine falling downwards above her. Summer gritted her teeth. Out of natural reflexes, she had one arm on the rock and promptly reached out her other hand to grab Raine’s wrist. Fortunately, Raine’s wrist was slim. She could hold it with just one hand, or else... But, she could barely
He was a few steps away from her, but her left hand, which clung to the edge, was slipping away, and her legs were trembling and unable to stand on it.But Mark could not see that. The only thing he could see was Summer’s face peeking out of the cliff.At this point, Summer knew there was no turning back.She watched her hands slide helplessly off the cliff, and felt her feet slip through the hollow, unable to reach any further.Honestly, she was afraid of death, or she would not have clung onto the cliff for so long, but her strength was at its utmost now, and she could not hold on any longer.Feeling the fear, Summer closed her eyes, clenched her teeth and trembled, but she never asked him for help.The look in his eyes had completely denied her. How could she have the decency to ask him for help?In his heart, it was she who released Raine’s hand and let her fall off the cliff!How could she ask him for help, telling him that she could not hold onto it any longer, and beg hi
Even so, she drank a lot of water and passed out.Mark brought her to the surface, placed her on the ground, and started performing chest compressions with his big hands to release the water trapped inside. He then leaned over, his long tongue poking through her clenched teeth, giving her rescue breaths.Then her breathing quickened slightly and she seemed about to wake up. Mark gritted his teeth, grimaced and pulled her away from him to sleep on the rock.Out of the corner of his eye, through the clear water, he could see that his hair was wet and his clothes were also completely drenched and slightly torn. He looked terrible.What was he thinking just now? He even tried to save her!He desperately tried to save her even after she let Raine fall off a cliff. Well, he was crazy. He was. But the emptiness in his heart was gone.He did not pause for a moment as his eyes swept over her in a grim and gloomy way. Then he got up and began to search around, and found Raine in a pile of
Instinctively, Raine’s body moved a little closer to the source of warmth. She was weak and hurt like a broken doll.The chill that hit Summer grew colder and colder, from the wet clothes to the deepest part of her body. She cowered there, shivering while looking coldly at the intimacy between them.She was cold, but there was no one to hold her. She was afraid, and there was no one to pat her and say to her, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” She was in pain, but there was no one to soothe her…Because her husband was so affectionate with another woman that he had no time for her. He might see her as an executioner in his heart, the executioner who had hurt the woman he loved to such an extent!She curled into a ball and kept shivering, burying her head between her knees.Even though she did not like Raine, she was happier than anyone to see her alive.Because if anything had happened to Raine, everyone would think that Raine died at her hands, and Raine would still be alive if she ha
The fists hanging on both sides of her body slowly tightened; struggling, hesitating, and finally, slowly, she said, “I…”But before she could finish her words, Raine had a bout of dry heaving, holding her cheeks in her hands and crying out in pain and suffering.She was not undiscerning. She knew that it was not appropriate to speak further in such a situation.His eyes swept over her coldly. When he heard the soft cough, his handsome face turned grim and cold at once, but softened again as he gazed at Raine.Swallowing back the words, Summer raised her head and looked silently out of the cave.It was clearly still raining outside. She could hear the rain even as she sat in the cave.Who knew how much time had passed. It was after two hours, perhaps three hours, when they finally heard the sound of footsteps approaching.Mark furrowed his handsome brow, his tall body stood up, holding Raine, who was unconscious in his arms, and he walked out of the cave.It must be the rescuer
She could not be frightened in such a situation, instead, she had to keep calm. If she was scared, what about her baby?She was the only person her baby had, and she could only rely on her baby. She felt the pain as she thought of that man, her hands clutching the blanket on her tightly, and a tear ran down the corner of her eye…“We will do our best!” The doctor comforted her and began to prepare.She fell into a coma shortly after the anesthetic was administered. The doctor started the emergency operation and the red light in the operating room went on.On the other sideThe red light of the operating room was still on.Mark’s masculine body sat on the bench, his eyes darting toward the emergency room from time to time. The staff came up to him with a brand-new suit. “Mr. Valentine.”He responded lightly, quickly changed into his new clothes and came out, when the thin figure of that woman suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.His thin lips moved slightly, wanting to ask so
But, in any case, it was a miracle, an unbelievable miracle!After a round of examinations and prescribing the medicine, the doctor suggested that she needed IV fluids. She wanted to take it back to the mansion, and the doctor agreed.Accompanied by the doctor and nurse, she returned to her mansion in a wheelchair. After the IV solution was hooked at the stand, the doctor left, leaving only the nurse.She was the only person in such a big mansion, and her husband was in the hospital with his lover…Did she hate him?At this moment, she no longer hated him. He should be accompanying the woman he loved, and she was just a stranger.Their marriage was just a deal from the start. She did not abide by the terms of the deal and sank deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of love.He did not love her. He had a woman he truly loved...So, let it be over. Either way, it was over.She sat there writing, and then paused for a moment, and then continued writing. It was a process of pain, nu
“I heard that she fell off the cliff and was cut by branches and stones, leaving her with wounds like that.”“Anyway, it’s really too bad. Such a beautiful face was wounded so severely!”When she heard it, she could not help but touch the right side of her face. The skin, once fair and smooth, was now left with crisscrossing wounds.The door opened and Mark walked in. The doctor had just treated the wound on his back. His face turned grim as he saw what Raine was doing. Hearing footsteps, Raine looked up and saw him coming. Her lips tried to force out a smile. “You’re back…”It was just that, the smile was actually not very pleasant. She was trying too hard to fake it.“Yes...” With a soft reply from his thin lips, Mark sat down opposite her, his big hand brushing back the hair that fell scattered on her cheek, and he said in a deep voice, “Stop smiling…”With a slight shock, Raine stopped smiling and said, “Mark, do I look terrible right now?”“No, you are as beautiful as eve
