Chapter 258
Heavy rain, gravel, mud, thick smoke….
This was the last image that Chloe saw before her consciousness faded, almost desperate.
However, she still held her last breath and pushed the person who ascended before the disaster capsized.
Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she hoped that she could survive.
If she was not prepared to face all dangers, then she was not worthy of wearing this dress and was not worthy of being here. She was not afraid of death. As long as her death was worth it, she would not have wasted her time walking through this noisy world.
In fact, she was not such a brave person in the past. Not to mention death, even when she was sick and brought by her father and three ladies to the hospital, she would cry and whine for a long time. She was completely a shy little girl.
When she was eleven years old, she met him here.
His courage, his tenacity, his twinkling eyes that were like a lighthouse in the deep sea to guide her, the courage that they met by chance but he was willing to live and die with her deeply shocked her soul.
For the first time, she knew that the a person could burn themself like this, bloom themself, and have such a way of living. Even if she married him later, even if he hurt her, she had to admit that.
Joseph changed her, changed her whole life.
Flowing light secretly changed, and the stars moved.
Everything that came was like an avalanche. It happened in the blink of an eye!
In a short coma, Chloe had a long and strange dream.
She dreamed that she was happy with her parents and that her brother would celebrate her birthday with her when she was a child.
The eldest brother picked her up and placed her on a mountain of gift boxes. The second brother sang a happy birthday song that seemed offed tune. The third brother held the birthday cake and blew the candles with her. The fourth brother put the toy gun she dreamed of in her little hand…
And… there was also Joseph.
She remembered that they fought side by side in the arena, and the thought of life and death.
She remembered the line of sight she had when she saw him again at grandfather’s side for the first time.
She recalled how Joseph pushed the divorce agreement in front of her and forced her to leave with a cold and decisive attitude…
Suddenly, a bone-piercing pain burst out from the bottom of her heart and spread throughout her limbs and bones.
Chloe suddenly woke up and gasped for breath like drowning water. Hot sweat and cold rain alternated, making her tremble all over.
“I… I am still alive… I am still alive!”
She was so surprised that she closed her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes.
If not for the fact that she had dreamed of that cur, and not because she had thought of the harn that cur had done to her, she would have been so ignorant that she would have died!
However, it didn’t matter when she woke up. Chloe was almost scared out of her wits!
She
saw
that she had been washed to an unknown place by the sand and was lying on the hillside!
The backpack was hanging on a not so thick branch, and half of her body was buried in the soil, almost buried alive!
“Damn it… Pah, pah, pah! Unlucky!”
Chloe took a deep breath to calm herself down. She clenched her teeth and said, “I can’t die… I absolutely can’t die! What about Stefan if I die? What about my brothers?”
“Since the heavens gave me a chance to live… it means that I shouldn’t die! My life is up to myself!”
Click-!
The branches above her head emitted a soft sound that made one’s heart palpitate!
Missy: Damn…
Chloe did not dare to speak. She did not even dare to breathe. She was afraid that if she took in more breath, the branches would not be able to hold on!
She struggled to dig herself out of the mud with both hands. Then, she found two rocks that could be used to climb and suddenly turned over!
The moment she jumped onto the rock, the branch above her head snapped.
Then, she fell into the cliff and disappeared.
Chloe’s trembling heart was about to jump out of her throat!
However, she had no time to be afraid and could only think of all means to climb up!
At this moment, night fell and the wind and rain blew.
The cold rain pierced into her eyes and blurred her vision. Her hands were red from the cold and she was about to lose touch.
The only thing that supported her to continue climbing up was her strong willpower and desire to live.
Chloe’s mother passed away early. When she was young, she was raised up by the three ladies. When she was young, Freya often accompanied her to practice boxing, horse riding, archery, and rock climbing became their common hobby.
It was also thank for this hobby, but now it came in handy!
When Chloe saw that she was about to climb to the top of the mountain, she suddenly felt a strong tremor under her body, and there was a rumbling sound in her ears.
Countless tiny sand stones continuously rolled down, and the landslide came again!
“God, you are so mean! I have done so many good deeds in a year, donated so much money and accumulated so much virtue, and you repay me like this!”
Suddenly, the stone that Chloe had been stepping on fell, and she instantly soared into the air. All the support she had had was gone!
“No! Help!”
She widened her eyes in horror, and the feeling of despair came over her!
When she missed the mark on the cliff, what awaited her was only death and shattered in pieces!
A drop of unwilling tears appeared at the end of Chloe’s eyes as she closed her
eyes.
“Chloe!”
The next second, a pair of rough hands suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back from the gates of hell.
Chloe felt the fall suddenly stop and slowly opened her eyes.
When she met Joseph’s eyes that were as bright as stars, her heartbeat and breathing seemed to have been pressed down at the same time.
“Jo… Joseph… Sawle…”
Was it a dream? Was it an illusion?
Her heart was uncontrollably pounding against her ribs!
“Don’t be afraid! I’m here!”
Joseph’s burning eyes fell on her pale face. Fear, panic, joy, heartache… All of his emotions were mixed together, firmly wrapping around his throbbing heart.
His sweat poured down like rain. His left hand clung to the mud on the ground, and the five fingers on his right hand that held hers were red and white, faintly trembling,
He felt his body sliding down and sinking, knowing that the danger was still lifted.
It was very likely that they would perish together!
“Joseph…”
Chloe murmured his name, tears flowing down her pale cheeks without any trace, “I don’t want to die…”
On her way here, she had broken through her limits and had always been very strong.
However, the moment she saw Joseph, she felt that the hard shell of her body and mind had broken itself.
Seeing that the fearless girl was crying, Joseph’s dark eyes were filled with pain, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush
to Chloe.
“You have time to cry later, now… climb up with all
your strength!”
Chloe sniffed, gritted her teeth, and under Joseph’s dragging, she used all her strength to climb to the top of the mountain.
“Quick! This place is going to collapse!” Joseph was burning with anxiety as he shouted at her.
“I know! I’m already very fast!” Chloe roared back with red eyes.
Joseph frowned,
She was cuter when she crying out of fear just now.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck down from the horizon, shining on Chloe’s face.
Joseph suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head!
Under his blurry vision, the Chloe in front of him had turned into a little girl around eleven or twelve
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice constantly lingered in his mind.
years old!
“Little sister, what’s your name?”
“If you don’t want to say it, then I’ll call you Raya. Small person, small mouth, small nose…”
Joseph widened his eyes in shock, his ears buzzing.
The dust-covered memòries surged in the depths of his mind, rushing into his eyes.
Raya Lewis.. Raya…!
It turned out that… she was the girl who had nearly died here thirteen years ago!
