Her hand touched the man’s profound face, her fingertips trembling slightly. Isn’t Jared Quinn as foolish as she was in her past life?
For the other person, any pain could be endured.
By her ear was the soft sobbing of lody Thorne, while Jared Quinn, due to the recent explosion and the weight on him, was barely able to prevent himself from falling unconscious.
"Don’t cry, I’m here," Jared Quinn wanted to reach out to wipe away the tears from her eyes, but he couldn’t move now. If he moved even a little, the two of them would die in this narrow space.
He must buy ti for Harold Chapman to rescue them.
Suddenly, sothing dripped onto lody Thorne’s eyes, sticky and with the scent of blood, even her fingertips touching Jared Quinn felt the sticky sensation, and the sll of blood grew stronger.
"Jared Quinn, I’m scared..." This was the first ti since her rebirth that lody Thorne showed her true feelings toward Jared Quinn.
She was scared, truly scared.
Scared that by the ti she understood, there would be no chance left between them.
"lody Thorne, don’t be a coward. I promised I wouldn’t let you die, and I an it," Jared Quinn’s injured hand suffered damage that could nearly make anyone faint; it was more than anyone could bear.
He was holding up entirely by sheer will.
The pile of things on him grew heavier; if it weren’t for sothing above them offering so blockade, even he wouldn’t endure it, unless he had skin and bones of steel.
His body was gradually, uncontrollably sliding down...
"I want to hold you," lody Thorne choked out, stretching her arms to encircle his neck, but she couldn’t reach around.
Already unable to bear it, Jared Quinn was now even more overwheld, his body collapsed downward, but just as he was about to crush her, he stopped abruptly.
His strong physique clung to her soft body, offering comfort and a sense of security; this was a form of embrace.
lody Thorne seed to feel his faint breath...
"Jared Quinn, I have many, many things hidden from you," lody Thorne’s hand touched his cold lips, "I truly have so many... if you fall asleep now, you’ll never know what I’ve been hiding from you."
"Don’t speak anymore, save your strength to get out."
"Jared Quinn, what I just said about not wanting to be with you or die with you was all lies. I was deceiving you. I don’t hate you, nor do I want you to really leave. I’m afraid you’ll die, afraid that without you, there’s no one to protect Timmy anymore. I’m scared it’ll just be and Timmy left..."
"lody Thorne..." Jared Quinn’s willpower was struggling and persisted stubbornly.
"Don’t talk for now..."
"No," lody Thorne feared he might pass out, "Jared Quinn, you have to survive. Think of Timmy. What would he do if sothing happened to you? He would definitely be heartbroken."
"What about you?" Jared Quinn, in the darkness, caught her incessant chatter.
Above them, the sound of digging could already be heard, so he had to hold on.
"I would be heartbroken too. I don’t want you to die. I want to start over with you."
"You’ve said that many tis," Jared Quinn held on, not forgetting to jibe at her, his heart cool and clear.
These words... she indeed had said before...
"You’re too domineering. You never listen to my explanations."
This was indeed true, including the incident where he captured Caleb.
