My Sweetheart novel Chapter 309

At that moment, in the entrance of TC Mountain, a black Porsche rolled to a halt abruptly.

Joseph stared at the entrance which was now closed off, and his face gradually darkened.

One hour ago, John had confirmed that this was where Bertie currently was.

He made a conjecture that Kathy must be by his side.

Whenever he tried to call Kathy, he would fail to get through to her.

While ignoring the staff’s objection, Joseph entered the place directly by taking the stairs.

This was the only path if someone wanted to come down from this hill.

…

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.

Kathy stopped in her tracks and her face had darkened.

If she couldn’t go past this point, then the only option left was to descend the hill.

However, it just rained earlier on, so the path down the hill was not a decent and safe path.

“Let’s go back to where we came from. We should wait for the construction team to remedy this area before we proceed further.” Bertie suggested all of a sudden.

“Let’s take the hill path.” Kathy said while turning around.

She didn’t want to stay at this place any longer than she already had.

“It’s dangerous to take that path.” Bertie tried to stop her.

“It’s more dangerous to be near you.” Kathy snickered coldly.

After saying that, she proceeded to descend the hill anyway.

“If we get off the hill, I will send you back to City N.” Bertie followed her from behind.

He finally compromised.

Kathy was the type who wouldn’t budge or comply if someone were to force something on her. Her personality had made him feel very dejected.

She was the only one he didn’t want to hurt at all.

He wanted to protect her using his own methods, but her reluctance was a major obstacle for him.

When she heard him making that promise, she paused in her tracks slightly but very soon continued to walk forward.

She was very hesitant to believe Bertie’s words.

“Ah!”

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.

Bertie’s expression changed drastically as he fumbled around to grab Kathy, but she was plummeting too fast.

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.

“Kathy! Kathy!” Bertie shouted, but he could no longer see any sign of Kathy anymore.

He was plunged into major anxiety and when he finally came to his senses, he immediately called for help.

…

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.

She looked around but couldn’t see any signs of Bertie.

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.

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.

She propped herself up against a tree truck while surveying this desolate environment before inspecting her already swollen leg.

The pain was so intense that she couldn’t even gather any strength to stand up.

However, she somehow still felt relieved because Bertie was finally gone from her side.

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…

After some time, there was a familiar voice slowly becoming clear as if the source of that voice was nearing her.

“Mrs. Joseph…”

Mrs. Joseph…

Kathy’s eyelids jerked slightly as she recognized this voice as one that belonged to Joseph.

She must be dreaming right now. She was no longer Mrs. Joseph, since she had already divorced him.

However, if this was just a dream, she was willing to continue her slumber.

“Mrs. Joseph, open your eyes.”

The voice was taking on a greater clarity, and Kathy responded by shaking her head, “Stop pestering me, I want to sleep.”

“Don’t fall asleep, open your eyes now!” A man’s voice which was infused with anger suddenly sounded right next to her ears.

After saying that, that man suddenly swooped in and pressed his lips on her bloody lips. He was going deep into her sensuously.

Kathy couldn’t help but frown as she felt a jolting pain coming from her tongue. She immediately flicked open her eyes.

What appeared in her field of vision was a huge handsome face. She was utterly shocked by this sight.

Joseph…

Was she still dreaming?
