Anthea widened her eyes in horror.
The grass ahead of her looked dense and felt soft when she stepped on it, but for some reason, the ground suddenly gave in, and by the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.
It seemed that she was falling straight into a cave formed by a landslide.
Everything flashed past her eyes, and her low cry was drowned in the leaves falling down with her.
"I'm screwed!"
This was the only thought left in Anthea's mind.
"Thump!"
With a muffled sound, Anthea fell to the bottom.
She closed her eyes tightly, thinking that even if she survived, she would be crippled. The rest of her life would be ruined. If she really became disabled, she didn't know whether Adam would still want her or not!
There was intense pain in her hips. Anthea grimaced and tried to touch the spot.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that she wasn't dead, and she could still move her limbs. With her medical knowledge, she could tell that no bones were fractured, and only her buttocks hurt.
She had fallen from above and landed on her bottom.
Anthea touched the ground beneath her and found a layer of leaves.
Only then did she realize that the thick layers of leaves beneath had worked as an air cushion. Fortunately, she fell on it and wasn't injured. Still shaken, she heaved a long sigh of relief.
That was close!
Rubbing her bottom, Anthea got up and looked around.
The cave was so narrow and could only fit two or three people. The light was very dim, and the opening above was covered by many branches. The only light came from the hole through which she had just fallen from.
Anthea looked up and found that the ground was at least three meters above her.
Although she could easily climb over a fence, this was still too high. Moreover, the walls were too bare for her to climb.
She gave up after trying twice. Both times, she fell back to the ground.
She shouted a few times, but the walls of the cave stopped her voice from going out, and she could only hear her own echo. Moreover, the ground was too far above her. When the wind blew, the bushes rustled loudly, and it was impossible for anyone to hear her voice.
Anthea had no choice but to sit down and wait calmly.
She hugged her knees with both hands and rested her chin on them, looking like a kitten waiting to be rescued by its owner.
On the other side, the buses had already driven up the mountain.
The students gathered around. Under the guidance of the instructors, they got on the buses one after another and were ready to go back to school.
Just then, someone jumped off one of the buses. He ran so fast that his hat fell, revealing his golden hair. "Chief Instructor Chin!"
Adam, who was about to walk towards the SUV, stopped when he heard the voice.
Seeing Leonardo's anxious face, Adam felt a little uneasy. "What's wrong?"
Leonardo panted and said, "Anthea is missing. She's not on the bus!"
"What?!" Adam's face paled all of a sudden.
Leonardo was very anxious. "I don't know where she is. I went to take a leak, and I haven't seen her since I got back. I thought that she had drunk too much cola and had to go to the toilet as well! Now that everyone is ready to go back, I still can't find her!"
Leonardo was genuinely concerned. Just then, they heard the whistle that summoned them to get into the buses.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
