But she could not repay him anymore.
Sorry, Jared, I'm so sorry.
Amber said to Jared in her heart.
It cost only a few seconds for them to fall down onto the ground. But in Amber's mind, she felt as if a century had passed.
She took a deep breath and got ready to be crushed into pieces.
Yet she didn't expect that they didn't fall on hard land but into a bottomless lake.
With a sound of splash, they fell onto the surface of water.
The spray they made was as high as one or two meters.
Amber opened her mouth instantly. Cold water just kept running into her ears and nose, which was extremely discomfortable.
But she was seized by excitement and joy.
She pulled off the fabric on her mouth and smiled.
She survived!
It had never occurred to her that there was a lake down the cliff.
It was indeed a life-saving straw for her.
She had just met such a miracle.
Amber was so happy that she burst out crying. As she was about to gnaw the rope on her hand, something occurred to her and the joy in her mind just faded away.
Where was Jared?
Amber's face changed suddenly.
When they hit on the water surface, Jared's hands were loosened.
Maybe he was now around her.
Over this, Amber looked around yet she didn't find Jared.
Now she frowned confusedly.
Where was him?
Maybe he had already swum ashore.
That's quite possible.
Over this, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Now it was her turn.
Over this, Amber lowered her head and gnawed the rope to try to free herself.
It was extremely discomfortable to do that. Trained as she was, she could hold her breath for no more than two minutes.
So, he must untie herself within two minutes and take a breath out of the water. Then she might be drowned suddenly.
Luckily, when Talon's men were tying her up, they didn't tie a knot that was difficult to untie. While pulling the knot hard, Amber also paid attention not to let water run into her throat.
Fortunately, she untied the rope on her wrist smoothly.
With no hesitation, Amber began to untie the rope on her feet.
With her hands freed, she untied the rope on her foot within 20 seconds.
She should also thank Talon's men, who didn't use hemp rope to tie her because hemp rope would bulge in water. Then it would have been impossible for her to free herself.
With her arms and legs freed, she began to swim towards the water surface.
A few seconds later, she got to the water surface and took a deep breath.
She was alive!
With tears trickling down her cheeks, she shouted towards the shore, "Are you there, Jared?"
There was no response.
