Chapter 623 Don’t You Lie to Me
Perhaps because of stepping on another fellow human, Kisa felt sorry and almost went weak at the knees, as if she would fall at any time.
Gilbert held her ankles and said to her, “Don’t stand up yet. After I get to my feet, you can stand up slowly. This way, you won’t fall easily.”
Kisa nodded subconsciously, then uttered an
acknowledgment when she realized he could not see her. Gilbert slowly rose to his feet. Still gripping her ankles, he got up slowly and steadily. Kisa looked at his thick hair; somehow, her eyes welled up, and she felt a lump in
her throat.
She took a deep breath and said to him again, “Don’t you lie to me, Gilbert. You can definitely go up there too, right?”
“Yeah, as long as you are up there, I will have a chance to get up there, too.”
“Are there really vines around here?”
“Yeah.”
“You really saw it?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re lying to me?”
“I’m not.”
Kisa pursed her lips and believed him for the time being. She thought he was right; this was the only way they could go up, with one person leaving the cave first. It was better than two people getting stuck in the cave. She secretly made up her mind–she would go up first and
then pull him out of the cave later, no matter what.
