You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)
Chapter 94

Coralie was standing next to the bus station. She wanted to leave but she did not dare to do so. She was worried that the bus would come if she left. What would she do then?

Also, there was still a long way down the mountain. If it snowed heavily and there were no cars along the way, she was not sure how long she could hold on. Suddenly, she regretted not wearing boots.

However, at this time, the snow had begun to fall, and the snow in the mountainous areas was heavier than that in the city. Coralie had waited for more than an hour at the bus station, and the snow next to her had accumulated a lot, which made her more certain that the bus was likely to be trapped.

She had no choice but to walk down.

After all, there would be more cars at the foot of the mountain. If she went up the mountain, it seemed that Village Y was not that far away, but the snow on the mountain was likely to be heavier. Coralie decided to go down the mountain.

She walked very fast to warm up her body, but at this time, the sky was getting dark, and the road ahead was pitch black.

"Looks like I'm the only person who will go out for a walk in this weather,"

Coralie laughed at herself as she walked.

After walking for a while, she heard the sound of the phone from the bag, "Ding-dong-dong", and she realized that there must be a signal here.

She took out her cell phone. There were many missed calls on it. Almost all of them came from one person, which was Skylar.

This warmed Coralie's heart. She rubbed her hands and she wanted to call Skylar back, but her hands were too cold. After having some trouble, she unlocked the phone and clicked on Skylar's phone number. At this time, Skylar was driving toward the mountains.

When the phone rang and he saw Coralie's name on the screen, he was suddenly relieved, and his heart calmed down slightly.

"Where are you?"

Skylar picked up the phone, and this was his first question.

"I... I'm on my way down the mountain. There are no buses anymore. I can't..."

Coralie's voice trembled violently. Her hand was frozen, and she couldn't hold the phone to her ear continuously. She had no choice but to turn on the loudspeaker mode, and she held the phone with both hands.

"Send me your location, I'll drive there now." Skylar finished speaking and thought about the cold weather. If she stood still all the time, it would only cause her body to become frozen in a shorter time. He asked again, "Is there a straight road in front of you?"

"Yes..."

"Send me the location first, and then call me. At the same time, follow the road. Do you hear me?"

Skylar instructed her. First of all, he needed to make sure that he did not go the wrong way. The snow was getting heavier. If Coralie was fully dressed in winter gear, he might not be so worried. However, he was aware what Coralie had worn today. With such thin clothes and shoes, it was very dangerous for her to be in such weather.

"Okay, sure. I'll send it to you. Call me when you received it. My, my hand is frozen,"

Coralie said this reluctantly. Although her hands were in her pocket all the time, they felt numb and inflexible, as the weather was too cold. Her whole body seemed to be frozen. "Okay."

After hearing these words, Skylar's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help stepping on the gas pedal.

After a while, Coralie sent the location to Skylar. After confirming it, he called her again.

"Are you cold? If it's cold, why don't you..."

Skylar was worried that she would lose consciousness, and he was anxious that her hands would suffer from frostbite.

"I found headphones in my bag,"

Coralie said while walking. Hearing this, Skylar felt relieved.

There was a distance of more than 20 kilometers between Skylar and Coralie. It would take at least an hour, or even two hours, for him to reach her. Besides, it was a mountain road, so it was impossible for him to drive too fast. Therefore, the time of arrival would be delayed.

"Coralie, you have to talk to me all the time. Do you hear me? Talk to me every minute."

The weather was dark and cold. It was very dangerous for Coralie to be walking alone in the mountains.

"Okay, okay."

Coralie agreed.

Skylar focused on driving. After a while, he heard no sound from Coralie's side. He quickly said, "Coralie, speak!"

"Okay." On the other end of the phone, Coralie's voice could be heard, but it was very gentle and somewhat hoarse. "Skylar, you can talk to me. You could sing me a song too. I'm feeling sleepy."

"Sleepy?" Skylar frowned. He was already driving as fast as possible, but he was still more than ten kilometers away from her. "Don't sleep, Coralie. I'll talk to you, I'll talk to you."

"Well, then, tell me how you feel to see me for the first time."

"I saw you for the first time at the college entrance. You were pulling a suitcase into the school, and I was riding a bicycle when I ran into you."

When it came to their first meeting, Skylar immediately remembered this.

She had just arrived at the campus. She was thin and weak, and she was walking on the campus road with such a big suitcase. Skylar was in a hurry to go to the student council. He didn't pay attention when he made a turn. He ran into Coralie and even caused her dress to become dirty.

"Yes, that's right." Coralie also recalled this and smiled...

"Then, you went to register at the student council..."

Skylar kept telling Coralie what had happened in college as he drove. When Coralie did not respond, Skylar would keep calling her until she responded.

About an hour later, on the other end of the phone, Coralie's voice was getting weaker and softer. Skylar had to try very hard to hear what she said.

"I'm so sleepy. I'll sleep for a while..."

Coralie murmured.

After hearing this, Skylar became nervous. He shouted desperately over the phone, "Coralie! Don't sleep. Do not fall sleep!"

However, no matter how he shouted, there was no answer from the other end of the phone.

Skylar looked at the distance between Coralie and himself. It was not too far away, but it was a mountain road, so it was hard to tell how long more he had. Moreover, he didn't know if Coralie could hang in there until he got to her.

As the car drove on, Skylar shouted on the other end of the phone, "Coralie, wake up. Don't sleep."

However, there was only the sound of wind and snow on the other end of the phone. There was no answer. For the first time, Skylar felt that he would lose Coralie completely.

He felt a sense of loss and nervousness. His heart seemed to lurch, and he found it difficult to breathe. He did not dare to imagine what would happen to him if he found Coralie without a pulse later.

The car drove for more than half an hour. When Skylar turned a corner, he saw someone lying in the middle of the road.

"Coralie!"

Skylar knew that it was Coralie. He got off the car and ran over. He picked up the woman and carried her to the passenger seat. Then, he turned the heater to the warmest temperature. Only then did he check for her breath.
