Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 137

Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes. She tried to kick her leg but found she still couldn't muster any strength. Puzzled, she looked down at the water.

A streak of crimson suddenly appeared on the surface of the murky yellow water, only to be washed away in an instant.

Bianca grew uneasy.

"It's fine, just a scrape," Vivienne said, lifting Bianca’s arm and draping it over her own neck. "Come on, let's get out of here first."

Bianca's expression was complicated. She stared at Vivienne, holding back tears.

Vivienne instantly understood and raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, but it's your leg that's scraped, not mine."

Bianca couldn't help but laugh through her tears.

By now, the water had risen to their chests. Vivienne didn't dare delay any longer. She climbed out of the ditch and then hauled Bianca up after her.

Bianca's leg had been trapped for nearly four hours and wouldn't recover quickly. Vivienne had no choice but to lend her a shoulder, and the two supported each other as they moved forward.

"Let's go." The wind and rain raged through the forest, and Bianca just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.

"Wait a second." Vivienne stopped her, turning to look back at the deep ditch behind them.

Confused, Bianca followed her gaze. "What is it?"

Vivienne looked at the steadily rising water. "Does it still seem so terrifying now?"

Bianca paused as a realization dawned on her. She looked at it from a distance and saw that the gully that had scared her half to death was just an insignificant crack in the hillside. It wasn't even as deep as the swimming pool at home.

She felt like she understood something, but the thought remained just out of reach, elusive.

Bianca turned to Vivienne, her eyes shining brightly.

Vivienne gently patted her head. "Bianca, remember this. When you face any hardship that tries to kill you or trample you, don't look up at it. Look down on it."

Look down on it?

Bianca's eyelids trembled, and the tears she had been holding back streamed down her face.

Vivienne nodded. "And one more thing. I can't always show up just in time. So if something like this happens again, you fight to save yourself until the very last second. Understand?"

Caspian had only heard about how terrible the weather was over the phone. Seeing it in person, his face darkened to an extreme.

"Still no word on them?"

With the thunder, rain, and the bone-chilling late-August mountain wind, how could two children possibly endure it?

Cedric didn't dare to breathe too loudly. "We've sent in a total of five hundred people, but…"

"But what? If five hundred isn't enough, send five thousand. I don't care if you have to tear this mountain apart, find them for me."

"Cedric." Before Cedric could handle Caspian, Talia came running out of the car. "Where's Bianca? Is there still no news at all?"

Lucian surveyed the surroundings and looked at Caspian. "Dad! Something's not right. Usually, searching a mountain is difficult because you don't have a target area; “I don't care if you have to turn this mountain upside down, find them. But we know the approximate area where the girls fell. With this many people, they should have been found by now."

Cedric nodded. "That's true. Our analysis is that the two young misses are on the move, so we've expanded the search area."

Lucian frowned, clearly unsatisfied with this explanation. In such harsh conditions, how could two girls move far? Their range would be much smaller than that of the adult search party. Not finding them after five hours meant either they were overlooked or the search party was looking in the wrong direction.

But saying that now would only increase everyone's anxiety. Lucian turned and gave Benedict a look. Benedict understood and took a few steps away from the group.
