Chapter 733 Elevator Horror (4) Sessful Rescue
Feeling Nervous, Susan was still waiting for rescue inside the elevator. From time to time, she took a
peep at Manuel, only to find that he seemed even more nervous than in the beginning. She supposed
he should be feeling more relieved since the guard had already called for help. And that made her feel
like they were actually facing something more dangerous.
"Manuel,"
He turned to look at her, noticing that she appeared much moreposed.
"Don''t me me if anything goes wrong." Manuel suddenly uttered.
Susan paused out of confusion, "What do you mean?"
But Manuel didn''t exin. Instead, he looked away, worrying if Henry would make up his mind to kill
both of them.
"Manuel, what do you mean? Answer me!" Susan was agitated by his silence.
"Nothing."
"What exactly do you mean?" as stubborn as she had been, Susan insisted to dig out the answer.
"You gotta take some rest before the rescue team arrives. It may take some time."
"Manuel, are you hiding something from me?"
Manuel responded with silence again, which had been his answer to something he didn''t feel like
exining. Honestly speaking, she hated it whenever Manuel maintained his typical silence, which she
found agitating. Despite the fact that they were still in danger, Susan walked over to grab his arm,
"Manuel, talk to me!"
"There is nothing to talk about. Just wait for rescue." Manuel replied coldly still.
"You gotta be... Ahhh!" before she finished, the elevator quaked abruptly once again.
Then Susan burst into a sharp scream. She hurried to bury herself into his arms out of instinct,
shivering, "Why is it shaking again?"
Meanwhile, Manuel felt like his heart skipped a beat, wondering if Henry was about to continue with his
conspiracy.
Was he going to give up on Susan?
"Manuel! What is happening?" Susan clenched his shirt. Surrounded by horror, she almost forgot about
the quarrel between them a few minutes ago.
Manuel looked down at the panicked girl with a solemn expression. The next second, he hugged her
tight. Susan was stunned by his move. His hug felt so strong that she seemed to hear his fierce
heartbeat. All of a sudden, she felt like being frozen. She used to believe that Manuel detested her so
much that he didn''t even spend a few more seconds talking to her.
Just a few minutes ago when they got trapped, his action still orded with her presumption. Though
he didn''t push her away, she still felt like he found her repellent. But on second thought, she could feel
Manuel wrap around her with both arms for a second. However, all that illusion now hade true at
this moment-she truly felt the warmthing from this man.
His chest got her convinced that she was free to rely on him whenever she was in need. The two clung
to each other tightly. It suddenly urred to her that there was once upon a time when she got
kidnapped, gagged, blindfolded and stuffed with earplugs. But at that time, she could tell that there
must be someone risking his own life to rescue her. It felt exactly the same as what was happening at
this moment. However, when she was free from the blindfold, it was Henry whom she saw first.
For all these days, she hadn''t figured out if it was actually Manuel who had been striving for rescue. But
now, she couldn''t help asking, "Manuel, was that you?"

She wanted to know if it was Manuel who had been striving to save her whenever she got in danger.
Hesitant, Manuel didn''t know what she meant. At this moment, a bit ofpunction crawled up into his
mind. He swore he would risk his life to protect her once the elevator started plummeting. Though he
wasn''t sure if she could survive, he would still try all he could.
"When I was kidnappedst time, was that you trying to save me?" Susan continued to ask as Manuel
hadn''t answered her.
It must be him, she believed. But all she wanted was a solid answer from him. Now Manuel finally
realized what she was talking about. Indeed, it was he who rescued her when she got kidnapped by
Martina. But he was so afraid that Susan would burden herself with guilt if he told her the truth.
Besides, it was actually because of him that Susan got kidnapped. So he considered himself
responsible to save her.
Facing her earnest request for an answer, Manuel couldn''t help hesitating. Perhaps they were going to
die the next second. If such was the case, she deserved to know the truth before death.
However, before he could utter it, he got interrupted by the guard, "Mr Johnson! Miss Phillips!"
Both Susan and Manuel shifted their attention.
"The team has arrived! They are fixing the elevator. Don''t be worried. It will only take some time." The
guard said loud.
"Thanks!" said Manuel.
Finally, he breathed out a sigh of relief. It turned out that Henry still reserved his conscience.
Otherwise, they would have been killed before the rescue team could arrive.
Soon, the elevator started to go down slowly. Then it reached the ground floor. When the door was
opened by the rescues, both Susan and Manuel saw a group of people standing outside the elevator,
including Henry.
Though pissed off, Henry still drove himself here as soon as possible. He saw Manuel being rescued
with his own eyes. He saw him survive the edge of death. Mixed feelings were brewing in his mind.
When he saw Manuel and Susan hugging together, his rage blew up.
He suddenly reached out his hand to drag Susan over from Manuel''s arms with great strength. Before
Susan could react, she bumped into Henry''s chest. When she was about to resist instinctively, she
heard Henry murmuring in a trembling voice, "Thank god, you''re fine."
Even his body was shivering.
Manuel coldly stared at them hugging together. Then he averted his eyes.
"Mr Johnson, are you okay? Do you need us to drive you to the hospital?"
"I am fine. Just go to check if Susan''s fine." Manuel shook his head.
However, judging from her look, he thought she was fine as well. Manuel then walked through the
crowd to leave. But the next second, someone from the team suddenly eximed, "Mr Johnson, you''re
bleeding on the back!"
