Chapter 309
\nMy Sweetheart novel Chapter 309<\/p>\n
At that moment, in the entrance of TC Mountain, a black Porsche rolled to a halt abruptly.<\/p>\n
Joseph stared at the entrance which was now closed off, and his face gradually darkened.<\/p>\n
One hour ago, John had confirmed that this was where Bertie currently was.<\/p>\n
He made a conjecture that Kathy must be by his side.<\/p>\n
Whenever he tried to call Kathy, he would fail to get through to her.<\/p>\n
While ignoring the staff\u2019s objection, Joseph entered the place directly by taking the stairs.<\/p>\n
This was the only path if someone wanted to come down from this hill.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
Halfway to the top of TC Mountain, there was minor landslide that occurred in the middle of the path, which blocked the way to go further.<\/p>\n
Kathy stopped in her tracks and her face had darkened.<\/p>\n
If she couldn\u2019t go past this point, then the only option left was to descend the hill.<\/p>\n
However, it just rained earlier on, so the path down the hill was not a decent and safe path.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go back to where we came from. We should wait for the construction team to remedy this area before we proceed further.\u201d Bertie suggested all of a sudden.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s take the hill path.\u201d Kathy said while turning around.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want to stay at this place any longer than she already had.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s dangerous to take that path.\u201d Bertie tried to stop her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s more dangerous to be near you.\u201d Kathy snickered coldly.<\/p>\n
After saying that, she proceeded to descend the hill anyway.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we get off the hill, I will send you back to City N.\u201d Bertie followed her from behind.<\/p>\n
He finally compromised.<\/p>\n
Kathy was the type who wouldn\u2019t budge or comply if someone were to force something on her. Her personality had made him feel very dejected.<\/p>\n
She was the only one he didn\u2019t want to hurt at all.<\/p>\n
He wanted to protect her using his own methods, but her reluctance was a major obstacle for him.<\/p>\n
When she heard him making that promise, she paused in her tracks slightly but very soon continued to walk forward.<\/p>\n
She was very hesitant to believe Bertie\u2019s words.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh!\u201d<\/p>\n
All of a sudden, Kathy somehow slipped as she stared wide-eyed at the ground where she was stepping just a moment ago. It had given away because the soil was loosening up and she was now stepping on nothing. The next second, she started to roll down the hill frantically.<\/p>\n
Bertie\u2019s expression changed drastically as he fumbled around to grab Kathy, but she was plummeting too fast.<\/p>\n
Besides, since the ground in front of him had opened up into a cavity, there was a total of two meters separating him and the next stable ground. A hole was gaping at him in front of him, and it was next to impossible to clear that amount of distance.<\/p>\n
\u201cKathy! Kathy!\u201d Bertie shouted, but he could no longer see any sign of Kathy anymore.<\/p>\n
He was plunged into major anxiety and when he finally came to his senses, he immediately called for help.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
After some indefinite time, with a throbbing pain coming from the top of her head, Kathy gradually opened her eyes. She could smell a sickening and thick bloody scent, and the awkward sensation transmitting from various parts of her body reminded her of what had happened just a moment ago.<\/p>\n
She looked around but couldn\u2019t see any signs of Bertie.<\/p>\n
She was now lying on a small slope with lush foliage surrounding her. It was these vegetation that prevented her from rolling downwards further. It would be hard to imagine what would happen to her if she had fallen any further than she already had.<\/p>\n
She mustered some strength to sit up and there was dirt and soil all over her body. It was moist and sticky, which made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
She propped herself up against a tree truck while surveying this desolate environment before inspecting her already swollen leg.<\/p>\n
The pain was so intense that she couldn\u2019t even gather any strength to stand up.<\/p>\n
However, she somehow still felt relieved because Bertie was finally gone from her side.<\/p>\n
Slowly, she shut her eyes while pangs of hunger and exhaustion were besieging her consciousness. She wanted to keep her eyes open, but she was really too tired\u2026<\/p>\n
After some time, there was a familiar voice slowly becoming clear as if the source of that voice was nearing her.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. Joseph\u2026<\/p>\n
Kathy\u2019s eyelids jerked slightly as she recognized this voice as one that belonged to Joseph.<\/p>\n
She must be dreaming right now. She was no longer Mrs. Joseph, since she had already divorced him.<\/p>\n
However, if this was just a dream, she was willing to continue her slumber.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph, open your eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The voice was taking on a greater clarity, and Kathy responded by shaking her head, \u201cStop pestering me, I want to sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t fall asleep, open your eyes now!\u201d A man\u2019s voice which was infused with anger suddenly sounded right next to her ears.<\/p>\n
After saying that, that man suddenly swooped in and pressed his lips on her bloody lips. He was going deep into her sensuously.<\/p>\n
Kathy couldn\u2019t help but frown as she felt a jolting pain coming from her tongue. She immediately flicked open her eyes.<\/p>\n
What appeared in her field of vision was a huge handsome face. She was utterly shocked by this sight.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2026<\/p>\n
Was she still dreaming?<\/p>\n
The last ray of light got swallowed up by the sky and their surroundings took on a darker hue.<\/p>\n
Kathy was slightly nervous as she detected that Joseph was slowly losing his strength. When he stopped briefly for a rest, she took that chance to allow herself to come down from his embrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Joseph.\u201d He called out.<\/p>\n
Kathy stood behind her while rummaging around in her bag. She discovered that perhaps her phone was dropped when she rolled down the hill earlier on.<\/p>\n
She put on a dejected expression as she lamented her terribly unfortunate fate!<\/p>\n
Joseph produced his phone but there was no signal at all.<\/p>\n
He could only switched on his torchlight to observe and study his surroundings in an attempt to find a way out of this place. His gaze stopped on a small beaten path just slightly to his right.<\/p>\n
He cocked his head while staring at Kathy. She was squatting now while scratching her itchy ankles.<\/p>\n
A faint bloody scent slowly attacked their noses, and this made Joseph frown. He grabbed her wrist, \u201cStop scratching them now. We will be able to get out of here soon.\u201d He said calmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s already dark now, and there is a lump of soil and rocks which have blocked our path down the hill. I\u2019m afraid that we would only be able to leave earliest tomorrow morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Furthermore, there weren\u2019t any sightings of lamp posts at all as the electricity supply was probably cut off.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t need to wait until tomorrow. Mrs. Joseph, pass me your hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joseph was tilting his head and boring a hole through her with his burning gaze.<\/p>\n
Kathy could see that Joseph\u2019s features were showing a determined look in the darkness thanks to the illumination of the lighting from the screen of the phone.<\/p>\n
Could they possibly leave this place tonight?<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, she could believe Joseph\u2019s words somehow.<\/p>\n
He was a man of his words.<\/p>\n
After biting her lips slightly, Kathy slowly reached out her hand.<\/p>\n
However, when her hand almost reached him, she suddenly froze.<\/p>\n
As she studied this handsome man in front of her eyes carefully, she had to make sure of one thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I didn\u2019t encounter any danger, would you not look for me anymore?\u201d She asked nervously.<\/p>\n
She watched Joseph\u2019s face while waiting for an answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have promised you that I won\u2019t let anything happen to you.\u201d Joseph didn\u2019t really answer her.<\/p>\n
However, he would fulfill what he had promise.<\/p>\n
He turned around and drooped down in front of Kathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo on my back. After a short distance, we will start going down the stairs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-975","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
