Chapter 1143


    Anthea widened her eyes in horror.


    The grass ahead of her looked dense and felt soft when she stepped on it, but for some reason, the


    ground suddenly gave in, and by the time she realized what was happening, it was toote.


    It seemed that she was falling straight into a cave formed by andslide.


    Everything shed past her eyes, and her low cry was drowned in the leaves falling down with her.


    "I''m screwed!"


    This was the only thought left in Anthea''s mind.


    "Thump!"


    With a muffled sound, Anthea fell to the bottom.


    She closed her eyes tightly, thinking that even if she survived, she would be crippled. The rest of her


    life would be ruined. If she really became disabled, she didn''t know whether Adam would still want


    her or not!


    There was intense pain in her hips. Anthea grimaced and tried to touch the spot.


    When she opened her eyes, she saw that she wasn''t dead, and she could still move her limbs. With


    her medical knowledge, she could tell that no bones were fractured, and only her buttocks hurt.


    She had fallen from above andnded on her bottom.


    Anthea touched the ground beneath her and found ayer of leaves.


    Only then did she realize that the thickyers of leaves beneath had worked as an air cushion.


    Fortunately, she fell on it and wasn''t injured. Still shaken, she heaved a long sigh of relief.


    That was close!


    Rubbing her bottom, Anthea got up and looked around.


    The cave was so narrow and could only fit two or three people. The light was very dim, and the


    opening above was covered by many branches. The only light came from the hole through which


    she had just fallen from.


    Anthea looked up and found that the ground was at least three meters above her.


    Although she could easily climb over a fence, this was still too high. Moreover, the walls were too


    bare for her to climb.


    She gave up after trying twice. Both times, she fell back to the ground.


    She shouted a few times, but the walls of the cave stopped her voice from going out, and she could


    only hear her own echo. Moreover, the ground was too far above her. When the wind blew, the


    bushes rustled loudly, and it was impossible for anyone to hear her voice.


    Anthea had no choice but to sit down and wait calmly.


    She hugged her knees with both hands and rested her chin on them, looking like a kitten waiting to


    be rescued by its owner.


    On the other side, the buses had already driven up the mountain.


    The students gathered around. Under the guidance of the instructors, they got on the buses one


    after another and were ready to go back to school.


    Just then, someone jumped off one of the buses. He ran so fast that his hat fell, revealing his


    golden hair. "Chief Instructor Chin!"


    Adam, who was about to walk towards the SUV, stopped when he heard the voice.


    Seeing Leonardo''s anxious face, Adam felt a little uneasy. "What''s wrong?"


    Leonardo panted and said, "Anthea is missing. She''s not on the bus!"


    "What?!" Adam''s face paled all of a sudden.


    Leonardo was very anxious. "I don''t know where she is. I went to take a leak, and I haven''t seen her


    since I got back. I thought that she had drunk too much c and had to go to the toilet as well! Now


    that everyone is ready to go back, I still can''t find her!"


    Leonardo was genuinely concerned. Just then, they heard the whistle that summoned them to get


    into the buses.

    Everyone got on the bus of their own group. Anthea would be there if she heard the whistle. But


    after Leonardo sat down, the seat next to him remained empty. She was nowhere to be seen.


    Leonardo looked around. There were very few people outside. All he could see was the clearing


    and the dense forest around them


    Although she had her phone with her, there was no signal in the mountain...


    Adam suddenly clenched his fists, and his face was darker than a cloudy sky.


    With a serious look on his face, he said in a deep and cold voice, "The groups that have all their


    members can set out first. As for the rest of the groups, the female students should wait in the


    buses. The male students and the instructors, please follow me to search for her!"


    "Yes, sir!"


    Gradually, everyone heard the news, and they began to talk among themselves.


    Although the surrounding areas were all scenic spots with little danger, a girl had suddenly


    disappeared in the forest, so everyone was still worried about her safety.


    Only Shelby, who was sitting by the window, shielded her face with her elbow so that no one could


    see the smile on her face.


    When they finally came out of the woods, she happened to notice a spot.


    Before when this mountain was still a wastnd, some hunter had set up a trap to catch animals.


    Now that this is a tourism destination, no trap was allowed. The heavy rain a few days ago caused


    somendslides. For safety reasons, signs that said "Danger. Do not approach" had been set up.


    All Shelby had done was secretly move the warning sign away.


    She found a random boy to deliver the message, which would lure Anthea over. That trap was on


    her path.


    That ce was very remote, and no one would notice it. After seeing Anthea fall in, Shelby put the


    warning sign back without anyone noticing.


    Shelby had wanted to leave Anthea behind in the mountains.


    Anthea would be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no one to help her. She would be scared out


    of her wits, and Shelby liked that idea.


    She didn''t expect Leonardo to step out and tell Adam that Anthea was missing. Now, arge group


    of people was looking for her.


    Shelby elegantly tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled cunningly.


    What if the others had gone to search for Anthea? Shelby had put the warning sign back. They


    could spend the whole afternoon looking for her, but they still might not find her!


    The thought made Shelby''s smile even brighter.


    Anthea had lost count of how many times she had sighed


    She sighed again


    She looked up expectantly and then lowered her eyes again.


    Anthea didn''t even know how long she had been here. Maybe it was only half an hour, but she felt


    as if half a day had passed. She didn''t know if Adam and Leonardo had noticed that she was


    missing.


    She was unconsciously fiddling with the fallen leaves on the ground. No matter how nervous she


    felt, she could only wait patiently.


    This was the only thing she could do at the moment.


    She thought she heard a rustling sound from above.


    Anthea didn''t pay much attention at first, thinking that it was caused by the wind. But the sound was


    getting more and more obvious, and the sunlight seemed to be brighter. She couldn''t help but


    look up.


    Light suddenly filled her sight, and she narrowed her eyes involuntarily.


    When she saw who it was, her mouth opened slightly.


    Adam bent down at the opening, and she could see his muddy ck military boots. Before she


    could make a sound, the tall and strong man had grabbed a branch nearby and jumped down.


    He fell from above andnded steadily in front of her.


    Anthea was so excited that he shouted, "Uncle-iw, that''s so cool!"
