Suddenly, a startled shout pierced the dry air.
"There's someone buried under the sand!"
Theodore heard the shout and rushed over like a madman. He stumbled several times along the way, but each time, he clawed his way back up. At last, he reached the spot the person had pointed out.
A piece of fabric was poking out from beneath the sand.
Theodore's heart felt as though it was being gripped by an invisible hand. His gaze was filled with confusion and fear as waves of despair and anguish surged within him, drowning his soul.
With a thud, he fell to his knees and put his trembling hands into the sand. He frantically started scooping away the sand, his hands still shaking. He was overwhelmed by panic and dread.
Every heap of sand being shoveled away felt like the ticking of an endless clock, tearing his heart into countless pieces.
"Mr. Spencer, please don't do this."
Two foreign men stepped forward, attempting to pull him back.
Theodore's hands were bloodied from digging. His fingers were covered in wounds and some of his nails had been torn off.
"Let go of me! Let me go!"
Despite going without food, water, or rest, Theodore found a sudden burst of strength. He pushed the two strong men away and fell back to his knees, continuing to dig into the sand.
His fingertips scraped against the grains, desperately searching for any glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Spencer, we'll use tools to dig. Please, step aside."
"No!" Theodore shouted, "You might hurt her! Step back—all of you, back!"
It was as though he was possessed, frantically clawing at the ground, having lost all rationality. His bloodshot eyes looked as if they were about to bleed.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
