<b>Chapter </b>408
From the hole, Valerie could only see Matthew’s side profile. She could not tell if he was injured.
Valerie shone the light on Matthew. In the darkness, his face was as pale as a vampire’s.
Ever <b>since </b>she met him, Matthew had always handled everything perfectly. It was as if he <b>could </b>withstand it when the sky fell Valerie had never seen him in such a sorry state.
Valerie was anxious. She yelled at Charles and the team to help. She wanted <b>to </b>move the mounds and rocks away. However, too many <b>rocks </b>were blocking the road on both sides, People could not pass through, and equipment could not enter. They could only dig bit by bit.
There were a total of ten people <b>on </b>the rescue team. Two members had left to seek help. The rest of the people, nine including Charles, began to dig-
<b>“</b>Quick, everyone, hurry up and help. It’s easier to dig while the soil is moist now. I’ll harden when the sun’s out and difficult to continue.
Valerie knelt and began to dig. She was not strong, but the rescue team was quite experienced. They finally managed to remove the outermost big rock, Valerie quickly observed Matthew’s situation. She <b>saw </b>Matthew buried in the rock pile with his lower body tightly trapped. No wonder he could note out.
“Matthew <b>Valerie </b>shouted again, trying to rouse him
What Valerie feared most was not whether the rocks had injured Mathew, Matthew had been lying there for ton long, and his body temperature could be too low. Once the body temperature reached a certain level, a human might wiffer from shock and lose their breath.
She could only shout repeatedly and find <b>a </b><b>t </b>stone to use <b>as </b>a hor. She tried to dig up the surrounding soil so Matthew could breathe smoothly. In the <b>darkness</b>, Matthew’s consciousness drifted. He seemed to hear many people calling his nume, one after another
He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes. The g Valerie.
group of people in his mind vanished. He realized the person who had been calling him
<b>was</b>
<b>“</b>Valerie? Why is she here! Matthew was confused.
Matthew looked at Valerie in surprise as she used her hands <b>and </b>feet to pry open the surrounding soil and stones. Her in little face was full of worry. With her tightly furrowed brows, Valerie looked as if she was about to cry at <b>any </b>moment. However, there was a stubbornness in Valerie’s eyes, showing she would not stop until she achieved her <b>goal</b>.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Matthew’s <b>heart </b>softened. He wanted to call Valerie’s name, but when he opened his mouth, he did not <b>have </b>the strength to make a sound. He could only carefully move his hand toward her.
“Matthew!
Valerie was shocked. She quicklyy down and met Matthew’s eyes. Her stiff face instantly lit up like the sun. She reached <b>out </b>and grabbed his hand
Her hand was warm, so warm that it <b>was </b>a little hot.
When <b>the </b>rescue team heard that Matthew had responded, they immediately became motivated. The nearby rescue team also arrived to help. Valerie grabbed Matthew’s hand tightly. “Hang in there. The ambnce will be here soon<b>.</b><b>”</b>
Okay
His voice was hourse. Theck of oxygen caused by the longpression and the dizziness the low temperature caused surrounded him <b>again</b><b>. </b>His willpower was undoubtedly strong. He had only taken a short nap after a long time, but now, he felt he could not hold <b>on </b>anymore. Looking at Valerie’s face, he fainted with relief,
It was easier to do things with more people. In about five to six minutes, the rescue teams had cleaned <b>up </b>all the rocks on Matthew.
The medical team also came. After roughly checking that there were <b>no </b>injuries on Matthew’s body, they hurriedly carried him onto the stretcher. There was another thing that put everyone in a dilemma. Although Matthew was unconscious, he refused to let go of Valerie’s hand.
Valerie had no choice but to make a prompt decision. “I’ll go with him.”
Charles nodded. “Sure, the ambnce is at the foot of the mountain
Charles finally heaved a <b>sigh </b>of relief. He was d they found <b>Matthew</b>, or he would be at fault and live in guilt.
The mountain path was difficult to walk on. The rescuers carried the stretcher to the foot of the mountain, and Valerie followed. Even when they
<b>1/2</b>
reached the hospital. Matthew did not let <b>go </b>of Valerie.
The doctor had to pry Matthew’s fingers open one by one to free Valerie’s hand.
