    Looking at the brightening sky, Charmine reassured Maurice, "The sun''sing out, so let’s just hold


    on a little longer. Someone wille for us!"

    Maurice pursed his lips.


    He knew for a fact that andslide might happen anytime. Nobody would risk their livesing up


    here.


    However, he did not show his concern in front of Charmine, gently answering, "Good."


    Just as Maurice was about to say something else, a worried yet familiar sound was heard from outside


    of the cave, "Ms. Jordan, are you here? Ms. Jordan?"


    Charmine was shocked.


    Was that...Guy? 1 “I''m here!" she instantly shouted back.


    When Guy heard her response, he recalled the location Anthony had told him and rushed toward it. 1


    When he got closer, he realized that this was a copsed pit.


    He called out to the inside, "Ms. Jordan, are you in there?" "Yes!" Charmine looked up at him and said


    in surprise, "Mr. Granger, how did you end up here?"


    Guy sent in adder and, not wanting to upset her and tell her that Anthony had came, exined, "It


    was Ms. Eck...Yvonne saw the news on the Blue Charm. She likes this diamond, too, so we’ve kept an


    eye on the SN Mine. We then found out about thendslide. They said you''re at the top and I was


    worried about you, so I came."


    Charmine nodded and watched as thedder was sent in. Sighing in relief, she turned around to


    reassure Maurice, "Mo, we’re saved!”


    She had been anxious the whole time, fearing he would be in danger because of her.


    "Yeah." Maurice was very surprised.


    He thought he would die here with Charmine.


    Charmine efficiently untied the strings around her. She stood up and felt her hands and feet going


    numb.


    She did not care about herself. She quickly walked to Maurice and helped unbound him.


    Thedder reached the bottom. Charmine wanted Maurice to go first, but he stood behind her to


    support thedder for her.


    "You go first, Gem."


    Charmine felt warmth spreading within her as she gazed at him. She did not insist and went up the


    ladder first.


    After seeing her scaling thedder, Maurice was relieved and followed behind her.


    However, with the mud being soft, the spot where Maurice stood had arge dent on it, what with


    Maurice''s heavy figure.


    The entiredder trembled.


    Moreover, Maurice was mentally unsteady and physically feeble after inhaling too much of the


    rosemary scent. He lost his bnce and fell back onto the mud.


    "Argh!" he yelped in pain, face contorting into a grimace.


    His back was hurt by a crushed stone, and it jolted him awake. 1 "Mo!"


    Charmine heard his yelp and looked back, seeing Maurice falling down. Frowning, she asked worriedly,


    "Are you hurt? Do you want me toe down for you?" "No, I''m fine..."


    Maurice struggled to get back up. He shook his head, fought back the sharp pain, and held onto the


    ladder shakily before he finally climbed up thedder, getting out.


    His face was pale, and he could not even stand up straight.


    Charmine looked at how hurt he was, and she then noticed the patch of blood on his back.


    Her heart sank.


    She remembered right then and there that when they slid down here yesterday, Maurice shielded her


    with his own body.
