Chapter 680
Chapter 680 Holding On
The hole was pretty cramped, so the air was running thin after the two of them were stuck inside for
hours.
“I''m sorry, Sophie. If not for me, you wouldn''t have been trapped here as well.” Ysabelle was aware of
how physically skilled Sophie was. If I didn''t drag her down, she would''ve been fine right now. I feel
very indebted to her.
“All right, save your breath. They''ll definitely rescue us.” Sophie''s voice sounded calm. While our
situation is dire, and we may very well die here, I still have hope that Tristan will find me, dead or alive.
Of course, Ysabelle was aware it was pointless to talk about those stuff at that moment. However, she
couldn''t help it because she had never encountered anything like her current situation before.
“I''m so thirsty right now.” It had been more than ten hours since she took in even a sip of water, so the
thirst was unbearable for her.
Sophie wasn''t doing any better as she was only holding on by relying on her will to pull through the
situation.
“Why aren''t you speaking anymore, Sophie? Are you all right?” The hole was too dark for Ysabelle to
see her friend''s situation.
“There is no need to worry about me. I''m fine,” Sophieforted. I think the condition of my leg is
getting worse as time passes. If this continues, I may lose my leg.
“Mhm,” replied Ysabelle. I''m so d to have Sophie by my side right now. If I had been alone, I don''t
think I could''ve made it this far.
“You have to hang in there, Ysabelle. Your uncle and Felix will definitelye to rescue you.” Sophie
started to feel she was reaching her limit. If I can''t make it, I hope she will since she should be in a
better statepared to me.
“What''s the matter with you, Sophie?” As clueless as Ysabelle was, even she had noticed something
was off about Sophie by that point. Didn''t she say we need to hold on together?
At that moment, Sophie couldn''t hold the pain back anymore and groaned.
Even though she had an iron will, she still subconsciously grunted.
“Sophie?” Ysabelle couldn''t see, so she stretched her hand toward where she thought her friend was
and felt the sensation of a liquid. There''s no water inside here! This must mean...
“Are you bleeding?” Horror was heard in her voice as she wondered what to do. “Where are you
injured, Sophie? You...”
How did she bleed so much? Is she going to die? Why do I always drag people down with me?
Remorsefully, she apologized, “I''m sorry, Sophie! If not for me, you wouldn''t have ended up like this!”
“As I said, save your breath and conserve your energy.” Right after Sophie ended her sentence, she
fainted.
“Sophie!” No matter what Ysabelle said next, Sophie couldn''t reply to her anymore.

Meanwhile, Tristan was still directing the rescue team. Even though the sun had risen from the horizon,
they still hadn''t found a clue to the women''s location.
“You should eat something, Mr. Tristan! The president had sent us some food,” informed Felix. He
should be getting hungry after searching for the whole night.
Tristan waved his hand as he didn''t have any appetite. I still haven''t found leads to Sophie''s and
Ysabelle''s whereabouts yet.
The captain of the rescue team approached them and said, “Mr. Northley, you—”
“You and your team should eat first. Continue the search after you''re done,” Felix replied.
“It''s not that I''m shirking from my responsibilities by saying this, but it''s been almost eighteen hours, Mr.
Northley! I think the chances of them surviving are close to zero!” While the captain was aware they
wouldn''t like what he had to say, he still had to speak the truth.
Without dy, Tristan stared at the captain with a fraught look.
Upon seeing that, the captain shut his mouth and went to eat. Well, I guess I''ll have to eat and then
keep going.
Momentster, Sarah called to ask about the situation. Tristan briefly answered while sounding as
though it took him all his strength just to utter a word.
“It''s likely Sophie and Ysabelle are nevering back, Tristan.” While Felix didn''t want to give up, he
was sure a delicate woman like Ysabelle would''ve perished by that point.
“Are you saying you''re giving up?” uttered Tristan calmly, as though he was emotionless.
“I...” Felix gritted his teeth. Of course, I haven''t given up yet! It''s just that... This is too painful, so painful
that I almost can''t breathe. I''ve only been with her for such a short time, so why did things turn out like
this?
“I don''t want to hear something like thating out of your mouth again. I will find them,” Tristan
insisted. Sophie''s the type of woman who''s afraid of the cold. I bet she''s feeling awful right now.
Upon seeing Tristan like that, Felix could only keep his spirit up.
After learning about Sophie''s ident, Chanaea''s president sent out their own rescue team.
He was willing to expend any resources to locate Sophie because she was an invaluable talent in
Chanaea''s medical industry.
Even though several factions of people were searching for the two women on the mountain, they still
couldn''t find the duo.
Lincoln had also learned what happened to Ysabelle in Jetroina. However, at that moment, he had an
urgent matter to attend to, so he couldn''t leave.
His expression was cold as ice when he thought of his daughter''s demise. I only have one daughter.
While I don''t want her to join the entertainment industry, I can''t deny she''s talented, especially after I
listened to her song recently. I want to praise her, let her sing, and tell her that no matter what she
decides to do, I''ll always support her. Well, it looks like I''ll never have the chance to do so.
After calling Sarah numerous times, he still hadn''t received any news about his daughter.
He was usually a tough guy, but at that moment, tears welled in his eyes.
After Nichs told Alex about the avnche, thetter rushed over to Jetroina. He didn''t have the
nerve to say a word when he saw how Nichs was acting.
“Do you know why I''ve asked you toe here, Alex?” Nichs questioned.
“To find Sophie.” That was something Alex would know even if Nichs didn''t mention it.
“I''m d you''re aware of that. Tristan''s men are also searching for her, so I want you to find her before
he does.” Nichs'' n was to snatch Sophie away from Jetroina. Only then would he have the
chance to enact the n he had.
“Many other people are searching for Ms. Tanner right now, Mr. Nichs. I''m not sure—”
In response, Nichs red at him. “Don''t tell me those things! I only want to see the results. Anything
else isn''t within my scope of consideration.” I''ve already hired the best hypnotist in the world. Now, I
just need to find Sophie. If I can take her away, she''ll finally belong to me.
