Chapter 256 Trust
But he finally lost his cool when Olive told her that Selena, unaware of regional customs, had been
chased by a herd of yaks.
"Listen to me -" the voice of Osvaldo permeated with gentle reassurance, "Now stop the car
immediately!"
This had happened over in that area.
Wild yaks will chase a man''s car and will keep on chasing it as long as it doesn''t stop.
He didn''t know what kind of luck Selena had that she came across such a thing in Tonyan Town.
Selena looked out of the window at the herds of yaks, any one of which would smash into her and she
would be pulverised.
Selena''s face turned even whiter, "No!"
She didn''t want to die, and she preferred to take her life in her own hands rather than bet that those
yaks out there would show her mercy at their feet.
"Selena!" Osvaldo''s voice had more than a touch of sullen anger, "Trust me, you will be fine!"
The herd of yaks would not hurt anyone, and if Selena stopped the car, they would stop too, but Selena
only had one left hand to drive, and if she had to keep running in such a panic, something could really
go wrong.
Selena froze as she listened to his rarely seen stern voice, she even heard the sound of the wind
whistling across the phone, Osvaldo must have rushed over.
But she had driven the car so fast that it would take time for him to catch up with her.
Selena hesitated for a moment and slowed down the car, but when the yak at the front crashed through
the trunk and shook the whole car, Selena could no longer keep her cool and increased the elerator
again.
"No!" Selena said in a cold voice, "I''ll die if they hit my car!"
She once again increased the throttle to the maximum.
It increased the distance between her and Osvaldo.
When Osvaldo heard her drive faster, his hand on the steering wheel tightened, and it was obvious that
Selena was not willing to believe him.
Osvaldo looked at the distance between him and Selena and barely managed to steady his mind, "Hold
on for another three minutes!"
Selena looked at the throttle.
"Okay!"
The meaning of Osvaldo was clear: three more minutes and he would be there.
Selena didn''t hang up the phone and counted the minutes, seeing that Osvaldo was getting closer and
closer to her, one and a half minutes had passed, but God seemed to like to y her, and she was on
her way to death.
Ahead was a steep river with no road at all!
She now had only two choices.
Either she stopped on the spot and was killed by the herd of yaks, or she followed the car over the
sheer cliff.
A chill swept across Selena''s eyes.
She was afraid of dying, so she chose neither.
She chose a path that she was sure she would survive even if she would get hurt.
The more critical moment it was, the more calm she became.
"In a minute, please fish me out of the river!"
The moment Osvaldo heard the sound of water, he realised it was bad, but before he could say
anything, Selena''s voice, calm to the point of outrage, hade out first.
Osvaldo was angry and furious, "Selena!"
She would rather choose to jump out of a car and get hurt than trust him!
But at this moment, it was clear that Selena could no longer listen to any words.
She closed her eyes and the moment the car went off the sheer cliff, she pushed the door open and
her slender figure jumped over the side.
A loud, violent thud of a car hitting a steep cliff was heard on the phone, followed by the sound of
something heavy falling into the water.
The loud noisepletely overshadowed the movement of Selena.
The dark eyes of Osvaldo were horribly empty for a moment.
All the nerves in his entire body tensed to the extreme in an instant, and that her face went pale, he let
out a furious cry that could not be described as anger or worry, "Selena!"

Even though Selena was prepared, the moment she fell into the water, her body was still mmed
under the water by the huge eleration of gravity.
The breath she had been holding was dispersed by the high fall, and her chest choked with water for a
moment.
She tried to swim to the shore, but with her right hand bandaged, she was unable to do so, and could
only hibernate quietly under the water, waiting for Osvaldo toe to her rescue.
Everything was calcted with precision by her.
She could be underwater for a minute at best.
When she jumped out of the car, there was only one minute left before the five minutes that Osvaldo
had said.
Only if Osvaldo had not lied to her, she would definitely survive.
The feeling of being on the verge of death felt like every minute was a day.
The air in Selena''s chest was getting less and less, this feeling of putting her hope of survival in the
hands of others was the first time she had ever done it.
She just hoped the man, really, would not bete.
..
The car was speeding up to the limit, and when he came to the edge of the cliff, he couldn''t distract
himself from paying attention to anything and jumped straight down.
The first thing he saw was the silent figure floating in the middle of the water.
Her white dress spreads out like a daffodil, her long dark hair flutters with the water, her eyes quietly
closed, like a legendary nymph.
But usually, such stillness to the point of excessive beauty is apanied by death.
Osvaldo swam over, his long hands heaved the woman''s cold, soft body into his arms, then brought
her to the surface.
He carried Selena to the shore and ced her on hisp, looking at her cold white face.
Long, slender hands cupped her chin with such force that it left red marks on the skin almost instantly.
Osvaldo raised Selena''s chin and leaned down, his lips pressed against Selena''s lips that were not the
slightest bit warm, giving her a breath of air.
He gave her artificial respiration while patting her back. In a short while, Selena choked on a few
mouthfuls of water and regained consciousness from hera.
The tense nerves of Osvaldo loosened and his arms wrapped around her, heaved she into his arms.
Selena''s bones ached from his strangtion, and she became more and more conscious.
She opened her eyes slightly to meet his face, his eyes full of anger. He looked deeply at her, his face
familiar, the look under his eyes unfamiliar to her heart.
Selena moved her lips to speak.
But she had clearly overestimated her strength and after several attempts she made no sound and
eventually copsed into his arms again.
After watching Selena pass out and making sure she was not in any danger of dying, Osvaldo stood up
with her in his arms.
Both were dripping wet, with their clothes and hair dripping.
Selena''s face was frighteningly white, and it was clear that the situation was not promising.
Osvaldo carried Selena back to the car, ced her in his arms and drove back with a sullen face.
