What!
Emily looked up subconsciously and saw that the beam on the top roof was falling straight down.
The steps under her feet also instantly became unstable and she completely lost her footing, so she couldn't help screaming with fear, "Ah!"
It was like sitting on a roller coaster and swooping down, which made her feel extremely horrified. However, Simon had been holding her tightly in his arms all the time, which made her less scared. For a few seconds when they fell down quickly, he always covered her head with his big palm, and the sound of his heavy and rapid breathing lingered around her ears.
After a burst of loud crash, it finally quieted down.
They should have fallen down between the first and second floors. It was dark in sight, and other smells could not be distinguished except for the dust.
The thing that they were most worried about had happened!
Fortunately, Simon made a quick response, so the beam fell later than them. Simon took the time to take self-protection measures and pulled her to hide in an iron rack in a corner of the wall.
Because of the narrowness of the place, neither of them dared move. She was still protected by him and curled up in his arms.
Emily could feel his strong heartbeat beneath her palms. She asked in a trembling voice, "Honey, are we under the ruins..."
"Hmm." Simon nodded.
"Then what should we do?" Emily asked helplessly.
Simon frowned and said in a low voice, "The survivors in the earthquake can be discovered. There is only one thing they can do."
Emily spoke out a word, "Wait..."
Indeed, under such circumstances, they couldn't do anything but to hold on to hope for being rescued. It was just that the feeling of waiting passively was really not good.
"Yes." Simon replied. Then he looked around in the darkness and said, "The building has collapsed now. I don't know how terrible the situation is. However, I know that we should wait for a few hours or a day at most. Someone watched us running in. If the rescue team knows that there are people still alive, they will come to save us in time!"
"Really?" Emily pursed the corners of her mouth in a panic.
"Well, don't worry!" Simon held her tightly.
In such a darkness with no trace of light, they could only rely on each other. Emily suddenly remembered the martial arts drama that she loved to watch when she was a child. There was a scene that a handsome man and a beautiful woman fell into a well together. At that time, she and Anthea were fascinated by the romantic love and the handsome man's infatuation.
When she realized that she was still thinking about the scenes in the drama at this time, she could not help feeling that she was too optimistic.
She shook her head and laughed. Then she couldn't help saying jokingly, "Hoeny, if they can't find us or miss the best time to rescue us, are we a faithful couple who died together?"
After saying that, she raised her head subconsciously.
Even though it was in the darkness, it was as if she could see his handsome facial features.
Her forehead was next to his Adam's apple, so she could feel that he smiled in a very low voice and seemed to be in a good mood.
Emily frowned in bewilderment. She didn't understand why he was in such a good mood. After all, they were under the ruins!
Just as she was about to ask him, she heard him saying suddenly, "Silly girl!"

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 😩...
