The water was still dripping.

It dripped ceaselessly.

In the absolute darkness, Susan tried her best to focus on counting the number of droplets just to control her panic.

One drop. Two drops. Three drops.

A hundred drops. Five hundred drops. A thousand drops.

As the number of droplets increased, Susan became much more desperate.

In her daze, she felt that she was nearing her death as she counted off another droplet of water.

Her helplessness as she waited for her death was indeed a great despair.

At first, Susan was still keeping track of the number of droplets sanely.

Gradually, as the air thinned out and the oxygen deficiency became much more serious, her mind became fuzzier. Her thoughts started to become disoriented.

How many droplets did she count up until now?

Three thousand? Five thousand?

Why was she unable to utter a response all of a sudden?

Susan raised her hand as she wanted to knock some sense into her head and ask herself to calm down.

But her hand fell down weakly the minute she raised it up.

She did not even have the energy to raise her hand now.

Susan was soon engulfed in immense despair.

The oxygen was indeed quite limited there. Clearly, she was deep in the cave.

By looking at the features of the caves, the deeper one got into the cave, the more junctions and paths they would see.

They needed to replace the right path which led to her out of all of those complicated paths.

Even if it was Julian, what else could he do?

At first, she tried her best to refrain from having such thoughts. She tried her best to be hopeful. She was hopeful that she was going to survive. But now she seemed to have lost all hope.

As one was nearing their death, they would think about their life.

However, she did not reminiscence about such things.

She only thought of two people.

One of them was Jacob.

If she was dead, she did not know whether her brother would be able to accept that. She wished that it would not influence his illness.

Another...

It was Julian.

What would happen to that overbearing and strong man?

Certainly, he would be sad. Would he?

But he would go and marry someone else after he had forgotten about the grief. He would lead his life which was unrelated to Susan. How long would he remember her?

Susan wished that Julian would remember her for the rest of his life.

On the other hand, she would rather have Julian forget about her soon.

That kind of anxiety and dilemma gave her extreme pain.

She was still suffering from oxygen deficiency.

Her thoughts were messy now.

Now, she could think of nothing else. Her head hurt deeply. The disgusted feeling became much more apparent to her. Susan looked toward a direction numbly.

She hoped multiple times that there would come a light all of a sudden. Now, it seemed impossible.

Just when Susan was about to give up entirely, a voice came to her.

"Is it here?"

"Yes."

Susan was slightly dazed. Was she hearing an illusion?

The next minute, she saw a light appearing in front of her slowly.

Her surroundings were lit up.

Subconsciously, Susan narrowed her eyes. After that, she saw a man rushing toward her.

It was Julian.

Susan's vision was still blurry.

Was she dreaming?

She might be dreaming about it.

If not, why would Julian appear to be in a mess given that he always cared about his appearance?

But it was such a good thing for her to be able to meet Julian before she died.

Susan smiled faintly at Julian. She then stretched her hand out as she wanted to hold onto him.

However, she had lost all strength in both of her hands. The minute she stretched her hand out, it fell down directly. Suddenly, she fainted.

Julian was relieved just now. Now, he was shocked.

"Susie!" He rushed forward and hugged Susan. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her directly.

Julian was trying his best to provide Susan with oxygen.

At that moment, others had come to the scene. They were stunned when they witnessed the scene before them.

Luke clenched his fists tightly at either side of his body. He was worried about Susan too and he wanted to take a look at her. But he was still too late. He was late again.

When Susan's face became slightly rosy, Julian stood up immediately and rushed out of the cave with her in his arms.

He was so fast that no one was able to follow his path.

After a while, somebody raised a question in a daze, " Does Mr. Shaw remember the way out?"

"Nonsense! There's bioluminescent powder along the way."

"I'm just stunned. I nearly forgot about it."

"It's indeed a great shock..."

"It's true that Mr. Shaw is trying to win over Susan!"

"It's confirmed. Didn't you see what happened just now? Mr. Shaw lost his mind when Susan went missing just now. I think Mr. Shaw might die with Susan if she was indeed dead." "Are you exaggerating the facts?"

They were having a heated discussion about it.

Suddenly, they heard a cold piercing voice. "Shut up!"

They turned around and found that Luke was yelling at them. So they kept quiet.

"The powder only lasts for an hour. Don't linger here anymore. Let's go immediately," Luke commanded them coldly. Then, he took the lead and left first.

"Brother, wait for me." Charlotte was slightly stunned. She was the first to follow Luke's lead.

The others remained quiet for a short while. Then, they went with Luke swiftly.

However, they started to whisper among themselves again.

"What is Mr. Jenkins angry about?"

"Aren't you aware of that? Mr. Jenkins is Susan's exboyfriend. He certainly feels displeased about Mr.

Shaw being together with Susan even if he's no longer Susan's boyfriend."

"That's true."

Somebody sneered.

Julian held Susan in his arms and left the cave at the fastest speed. Once they were out of the cave, there was ample oxygen for them.

Julian put her down on the floor and started to give her first aid treatment immediately.

Julian pinched her philtrum, gave her compressions, and performed CPR on her. He used every possible way. 1

Susan's face became slightly rosier, but she did not regain her consciousness no matter what he did.

Julian repeated all of the steps continuously.

There were no doctors up on the mountain. He could only rely on himself to save Susie now.

'Susie, you must wake up.'

Now, all Julian could think about was to save Susie.

Susan was still breathing weakly. But her breathing was faint, and it might disappear at any minute. He had to wake her up. Only then would she be considered safe temporarily.

Ten minutes. Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes.

Julian continued his actions ceaselessly.

The others stood beside them quietly after they left the cave. They watched CEO Shaw as he carried out such crazy actions.

"It's been an hour now... Is Mr. Shaw able to take that?"

"He's trembling all over. I'm not sure if he's anxious or exhausted."

"Have you ever seen Mr. Shaw like that before?"

"Never."

"Mr. Shaw loves Susan deeply."

Luke looked at them quietly. He clenched and unclenched his fists from time to time.

An hour had gone by, but Susan still did not regain consciousness.

He was not at all jealous as he looked at Julian's actions.

He just wished that God would allow the miracle to happen sooner.

'Susie, you must be safe.'

Charlotte looked at them. She was filled with hatred.

When Julian bent down for another round of CPR again, Charlotte could not hold herself back anymore. She rushed toward them and grabbed Julian's hand." Julian, you're exhausted now. You need to rest..." "Get lost!" Julian said hoarsely. Then, he shoved Charlotte away harshly.
