Chapter 876 Being Trapped Together


    Charlotte only remembered that at thest moment, Joe held her tightly,


    shielding her in his arms.


    Then, he emitted a low, muffled groan, and she herself lost consciousness


    instantly under the violent impact.


    She couldn’t tell how much time had passed when Charlotte finally regained


    consciousness.


    Her first instinct was to reach out and touch Joe. Feeling his pulsing heartbeat


    and warm body temperature on his neck, she breathed a long sigh of relief.


    Only now did she have the presence of mind to assess their situation.


    Enter title…


    They were still in that crevice, but arge rock, blown in by the wind, had


    fortuitously covered the crevice, creating an enclosed space where they were


    trapped.


    Charlotte attempted to move her body, but as expected, she couldn’t budge.


    Charlotte couldn’t help but smile bitterly.


    Originally, they hade to rescue someone, but they hadn’t expected to


    be the ones in need of rescue.


    She looked at Joe with concern and reached out to pat his face with difficulty.


    “Joe?”


    She called his name several times in session, but Joe didn’t respond. A


    sinking feeling crept into Charlotte’s heart.


    He couldn’t be in trouble, could he?


    Seeing Joe like this, Charlotte felt a sharp pain in her heart, and at the same


    time, a piercing headache struck her brain.


    Charlotte buried her head in Joe’s shoulder, her whole body trembling


    uncontrobly.


    Perhaps her anguished sounds had triggered something in Joe because he


    slowly opened his eyes, previously still in a state of unconsciousness.


    Seeing Charlotte’s pallid face, he furrowed his brows and asked, “What’s


    wrong with you?”


    “I… I’m fine,” Charlotte gritted her teeth and shook her head. Their situation


    was already dire enough; there was no need to burden Joe further.


    Joe also realized that something was amiss at this moment. He made an


    effort to move but encountered the wound on his back caused by the rock’s


    impact, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air.


    “Are you injured?” Seeing Joe’s condition, Charlotte forgot her own headache


    and immediately looked at him with concern. “Is it serious?”


    Joe shook his head.


    Although it hurt a lot, everything was within his pain tolerance. It shouldn’t


    have affected his spine.


    He tried to prop up his body, but whether it was due to the injury or the weight


    of the rock, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t lift the stone behind him.


    As they exchanged nces, they suddenly burst intoughter.


    Despite their extremely dire situation, being trapped together seemed to


    alleviate some of their fears.


    Just then, the walkie-talkie in Joe’s pocket crackled to life.


    They couldn’t see the outside conditions at the moment, nor could they move


    their bodies. They could only manage to create a small space to allow


    Charlotte to reach into Joe’s pocket and retrieve the walkie-talkie.


    Although it seemed like a simple action, Charlotte struggled with it for nearly


    half an hour before sessfully pulling out the walkie-talkie.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Smith?”


    The voice on the other end had been calling continuously, and upon hearing RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    Charlotte and Joe’s response, they seemed momentarily taken aback.


    Then, a burst of enthusiastic cheering came from the other end of the radio.


    “That’s great! You’re both alive!”


    “We’re trapped in a crevice by a massive boulder. You might have to rescue


    us along with it,” Charlotte said helplessly.


    The person on the other end wasn’t too surprised. “No problem, we’ll figure


    out a way to get there as soon as possible. You both need to hang in there.”


    “What’s the situation outside?” Joe suddenly inquired.
