"Well done, Well done, all of you!" Ben pushed the captain hard and then walked around angrily.
Then he shouted at the bodyguards who were all lowering their head, "What are you doing here? Now get down the mountain and find them!"
"Copy that." the guards kept nodding and then began to find a way down the cliff.
Ben took out his phone and called SAR teams.
After all, he must find Mr. Farrell no matter he was alive or dead.
And Mr. Farrell, with Amber in his arms, was now half in the air with one hand holding a tree, which, only as thick as one's wrist, slanted sideways out of the cliff.
As they were falling, he found a tree growing sideways out of the cliff and reached out his hand unconsciously to grab it. That's why they stopped in the midair.
Yet the tree was quite thin. It could barely afford his weight but now there was two hanging on it.
The tree now was now bending to an extreme extent. Maybe in a few minutes it would break.
Then they were bound to fall.
Jared looked downwards at the bottomless abyss and then upwards at the quivering tree. Then he fixed his eyes on the pale face of the woman in his arms, "Sorry, Amber. I came to rescue you. But I failed."
Amber shook her head repeatedly.
No, he had managed to save her.
Firstly, it's none of Jared's business. She was quite surprised that he would come to her rescue.
Secondly, she knew Talon's plan was perfect. He took her to lure Jeremy to come here and then kill Jeremy. For Talon, the appearance of Jared was an accident.
It was his appearance that disrupted Talon's plan and that's how Jeremy and she survived.
Jared saved both Jeremy and her.
So, it was Jeremy and she who should apologize to him. They owed him so much.
Yet the most shocking scene for her was that Jared jumped off the cliff together with her.
By then, she was stunned and the fear in her mind was dispersed and she couldn't help wondering why he would have done that.
She didn't understand why he would do it. Wasn't he afraid of death?
Didn't he know how dangerous it was?
No, he knew.
She didn't see any sense of fear and regret written on his face. He was determined to save her even if he would die for her.
And now he didn't change his mind.
One would pluck up courage to do something dangerous simply due to impulse. After he realized what had happened, he would begin to regret what he had done.
But Jared didn't regret jumping off the cliff with her.
Now, Amber felt her nose tingled and emotions began to bubble up in her heart. She murmured with her eyes red.
"You don't have to do that."
That's what she intended to tell Jared.
But Jared didn't know what she was saying. He stared at her helplessly, "I don't know what you are saying. I want to tear the fabric off your mouth. But I cannot do it right now."
Amber nodded.
He was now holding the tree with her in arms.
Though it wasn't shown on his face, she knew that it was hard for him to keep holding the tree. His arm grabbing the tree branch must hurt so much.
It was now carrying the weight of two people anyway.
His arms are quivering, indicating that he nearly couldn't hold on to the branch anymore.
