In the midst of danger, Joe couldnât believe his ears when he heard
Charlotteâs words.
His heart ached, tingled, and filled with overwhelming joy. A maelstrom of
complex emotions surged through him in an instant.
âCould you⦠say it again?â Joe hesitated, almost questioning if he had
misheard her earlier.
Charlotte shot him an annoyed glance but repeated herself.
Despite the raging wind and the immovable boulder pressing against them, in
that small crevice, countless pink bubbles of affection blossomed between the
two.
Enter titleâ¦
If only the circumstances were different, Joe would have wanted nothing more
than to hold Charlotte close and savor her lips.
Joe stared deeply into Charlotteâs eyes, his throat bobbing slightly.
He suppressed his own emotions and softly asked Charlotte, âHow did you
suddenly regain your memory?â
Dr. Garie had mentioned that the recovery of Charlotteâs final fragment of
memory would require a certain trigger, but Joe never expected it to happen
now.
âI donât know; it just feels like weâve been through all of this before,â Charlotte
replied, maintaining direct eye contact with Joe. âAnd then all my past
memories just came rushing back.â
Indeed, they had experienced similar circumstances together in the past.
When Cowper kidnapped Charlotte, they were also trapped in a caveâ¦
Joe couldnât have imagined this would be the reason, and he chuckled,
saying, âCowper probably never dreamt heâd serve such a purpose.â
Regardless of the trigger, Charlotte had finally remembered their past, which
was a significant development for both of them.
Charlotte had initially wanted to say something, but her expression suddenly
changed, and she looked at Joe with seriousness. âDid you hear that?â
Joe tilted his head and listened attentively. The raging wind had slowly
subsided, replaced by a somewhat chaotic sound of footsteps.
âTheyâre coming to rescue us?â Charlotteâs eyes lit up with joy as she looked
at Joe, filled with excitement.
Joe also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
It wasnât just the team that was coming to their aid.
Due to the penguin incident earlier, the team had established contact with the
nearest base.
Originally, they had only planned to send two people to retrieve the penguins,
but when they heard about the missing child on the way, they decided to send
a team to assist them.
It seemed like their decision had paid off now.
âWe are using hydraulic jacks to open the gap between the two rocks. Be
careful,â the leader shouted through the gap. He could see that the two were
trapped together, but the exact situation was unclear.
âWe understand,â Charlotte replied loudly. After a moment of thought, she
said to the leader, âThe child is trapped in the crevice to the northeast. You
can rescue him first.â
Although she and Joe couldnât move, their lives were not in danger. It was
better to save the chubby boy first.
The leader was momentarily stunned.
He knew that Charlotte and Joeâs willingness to help in the search and rescue
was already remarkable, but he hadnât expected them to prioritize rescuing the child in such a critical moment.
These wealthy couple were indeed different from anyone he had encountered
before.
With this realization, the leaderâs attitude towards them became more gentle.
He reassured Charlotte, saying, âDonât worry, another team has already gone
to rescue the child. We just need to get you both out.â
Upon hearing that someone was going to rescue Samuel, Charlotte felt
relieved.
