Chapter 218

Cynthia looked up and noticed that it was quite a distance up to the top. There were weeds around, so they could probably use them to climb

The most dangerous part was a smooth, six–foot–high rock in the middle with no good holds, making it hard to climb over.

“You can step on me to climb up, Liam suggested.

up

Cynthia refused without hesitation, “No. It’s not easy to exert your strength in that place, II step on you, you won’t be able to hold on at all. It’s not worth the risk of falling again.”

Cynthia and Liam were arguing and didn’t realize that a snake was about to attack Cynthia from behind.

At the last moment, Liam spotted the snake. Just as it was about to bite Cynthia’s calf, Liam kicked it off the cliff.

At the same time, Liam felt a pain in his calf and realized he had been bitten. He frowned.

Cynthia was startled and asked, “Are you okay? Let me see.”

Then, she wanted to crouch down

Due to the geography, most of the insects and snakes here were poisonous, so it was important to be cautious.

She didn’t see the snake clearly when it was kicked off the cliff, so she couldn’t tell if it was poisonous.

Hence, she wanted to check if Liam had a wound on his calf.

Liam understood her concern. His injured calf shifted slightly as he replied nonchalantly, “It should be all right. If you until we climb up. We can’t linger here for too long, as there might be more snakes.”

on checking, let’s wait

Now, he still had enough strength to send Cynthia up. If Cynthia saw the wound on his leg, she would rather take a risk than step on him. The place they were standing was unsafe because the ground felt unstable. It could collapse at any moment due to his forceful kick against the snake.

Cynthia was still glancing at Liam’s calf when she asked with concern. “Does your leg hurt now!”

To reassure Cynthia, Liam endured the pain and moved his legs. “Do I look hurt? Let’s go. The ground could collapse at any moment. Let’s leave this place first.”

Cynthia understood the situation, so she could only compromise.

They both grabbed the weeds and slowly climbed up to the rock.

Liam signaled to Cynthia after adjusting his position. You step on my shoulder and hold the rock. Then, you should be able to reach the top”

Cynthia couldn’t bear to do it. She frowned slightly and hesitated.

At that moment, Liam’s calf felt slightly numb, He was worried that Cynthia might notice it, so he urged. “Cynthia, hurry up.”

Cynthia bit her lips, realizing there was no turning back now. “Til go up first and then help you up.”

“Okay,” Liam replied with a smile.

Just as Cynthia was about to lift her foot. Liam stopped her. “Cynthia, I’m about to become your stepping stone. Shouldn’t you reward me with a

Cynthia turned around and was met with his intense gaze. She smiled and was going to kiss him on the cheek.

However, Liam suddenly grabbed the back of Cynthia’s head and pulled her close to him to have a passionate kiss

After some time, Liam let go of her reluctantly. Then, he crouched down as much as he could and said, “Come on.”

Cynthia was aware that the longer she waited, the more dangerous the situation would become. Therefore, she didn’t act pretentious,

She lightly stepped on Liam’s shoulder and leaned against the rock to relieve the pressure on him.

Liam’s entire strength was focused on the grass in his hand, as well as the tiny point of force at the tip of his toes.

As time passed, the wound on his right calf gradually grew numb, thereby affecting the strength of that foot to some extent.

He clurched at the grass, desperately holding on to prevent himself from slipping. Luckily, the grass had deep roots, or else it wouldn’t support the weight of two people.

Cynthia made a great effort and finally climbed over the rock, replaceing herself only three feet away from the top of the cliff.

She exhaled with excitement and then turned to help Liam up.

Just as she turned around. Liam only had time to smile at her and said. “Remember what we just said.”

Then he fell down uncontrollably.

Cynthia could only watch as he fell back to the starting point. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the very spot where they had just stood collapsed, and Liam also plummeted amidst the weeds and stones. “Nor

Cynthia reached out, frantically grasping in the direction where Liam had disappeared. She shouted hoarsely, “Liam, no!”

Cynthia wanted to search for Liam carefully, but her eyes filled with tears and blurred her vision.

At that very moment, she was overwhelmed by an intense heartache. It was more agonizing than anything she had ever experienced before, to the point where even her every breath seemed painful.

Cynthia’s mind was in a mess, and she felt completely disoriented. She repeatedly hit herself in the head.

She pondered, “What should I do now?

Cynthia looked around blankly and suddenly remembered what they said earlier.

She wiped away her tears in a panic. They had promised each other to stay safe all the time, so she knew she needed to remain calm and composed. Cynthia trembled and reached out to pinch her leg hard, hoping that the sharp pain would help to c

calm her down.

After calming down, she quickly climbed up.

She removed the vines that Hallet had just pulled halfway and swiftly twisted them together professionally to create a long rope.

She secured the rope to the tree trunk and dien descended slowly.

There was still time. As long as Liam could breathe, she was determined to save him no matter what.

Cynthia glanced at the lush plants below and continued to pray for Liam’s safety.

The cliff was so high that Cynthia descended for a long time until she ran out of rope, yet she was still far from the bottom.

Cynthia thought for a while and then let go of her hand without any hesitation, falling straight down.

She fell to the ground and rolled a few times to lessen the impact.

Then, she stood up immediately and started looking for Liam, not caring if she was injured.

The area was surrounded by cliffs, with towering trees at the bottom. The thick leaves blocked the sunlight all year long, making the ground damp and soft.

Cynthia scanned her surroundings and eventually found Liam in the dense vines.

Cynthia rushed forward to rescue him from the vines and promptly examined his condition.

Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought. Fortunately, he’s still alive!

He should have fallen onto the vines when he fell. They acted like a spring, reducing the impact and keeping him safe,
