Chapter 429 Bishop's Desperate Action

She wore sportswear this day. After taking off her coat and trousers, she only had her underwear.

Well, it was dark and it was a mountain. Can't see a thing.

Lucia then neatly tied the "homemade rope" to the tree and shouted to the pit. "August, climb up with the rope!"

She then heard movement as the man was climbing up. It was hard for him to climb with his injuries. Lucia held the rope and felt so nervous as she waited for August to climb up.

God, please. No more slips!

She shuddered in the cold wind, but her heart was hot!

She nervously held the taut rope with all her strength as it waggled.

Finally, August managed to climb up. She was overjoyed that she subconsciously approached him and said excitedly, "Finally you climb up!"

August looked up. In the dimness, he saw the fair skin of the woman.

Though his vision was blurred, he still discerned that the woman wore nothing but her underwear.

He frowned and handed her the "rope". "Put it on, hurry."

Then, he looked aside.

Ordinary people couldn't see clearly in the darkness. However, August went through relevant training, which was why he could discern things in the darkness.

Lucia was stunned by his words. She never expected that he should speak to her so ungratefully after she strenuously pulled him up.

She felt bitterly disappointed. She rolled her eyes at him and then quickly put on the clothes.

Then, she followed the man who had gone forward. However, as she exerted strength, she felt so much pain in the wound at her calf.

She gulped and moaned.

The man suddenly stopped. After turning around, he silently supported her in her arm.

Lucia frowned and subconsciously wanted to shake his hand off her. However, she gave up as she knew that he was also injured.

Two injured people had made so much effort to climb out of a pit. If they didn't support and help each other, neither of them would be able to get out of the mountain.

This was why they had to rely on each other.

On their way downhill, they had hard-won cooperation. They marched in the same direction with a unified pace to save strength.

After walking for a while, Lucia found the object nearby somewhat familiar. She even saw several marks she left on trees during the day.

As long as they follow the marks she made, they could reach the steps and roads leading to the entrance.

Thinking of which, Lucia unwittingly fastened her pace.

March in the night was dull and boring. The track was longer than she had expected. More than that, with all the mud that made the track slippery, they walked extremely slowly.

Soon, Lucia's hope was dashed.

She turned to the man beside her. She couldn't perceive his expression in the darkness. She asked, "August,

why did you come to save me?"

When she was alone in the mountain earlier this day, she didn't expect anyone would come to rescue her when she almost lost hope.

August seemed to be surprised by Lucia's question. After pondering for seconds, he said indifferently, "We

have invested so much in the film. If you're dead, my money would be wasted."

Lucia was stunned by his words.

So, he came to me merely for his own interest.

She felt cold.

Am I overthinking?

Every time she was in danger or got into trouble, he would come to help her.

One or two times could be explained by coincidence. However, after so many times, it couldn't be a coincidence.

Lucia bit her lips and said, "August, you are fooling me!"

August paused for seconds after hearing her words. He then said, "Should I tell you that I covet your beauty?

So, after saving your asses so many times, you should have been my woman a long time ago, shouldn't you?"

His words again rendered her wordless.

Annoyed, Lucia ended the conversation directly with silence.

Suddenly, they heard noise from afar and saw dim lights.

Lucia showed joy and surprise in her eyes. She subconsciously looked at August and said, "Are they coming for us?"

As she said so, the voice was closer to them. She could vaguely hear someone calling her name and August's name.

They were really looking for them!

After being lost in Gransend Mountains for hours, they were finally rescued.

After leaving Gransend Mountains, they went to Gransend Hotel. Both Lucia and August were sent to a hotel room. After changing into clean clothes, doctors came to dress their wounds.

Soon, one hour had passed.

Lucia fell asleep on the sofa.
