As long as they could rescue the child, their suffering this time wouldnât be in
vain.
With the help of the hydraulic jack, the massive boulder pressing on Joe and
Charlotte was quickly lifted, creating enough space for them to crawl out of
the crevice.
They narrowly escaped the danger.
After Joe and Charlotte emerged, the team leader purposefully leaned in to
take a look and couldnât help but marvel.
âThe gaps between these two boulders were just right. If they were even ten
centimeters shorter, Mr. Smith might have been seriously injured.â The team
leader pointed out the two crevices and explained them to Charlotte and Joe.
Enter titleâ¦
Seeing this scene, Charlotte took a sharp breath.
She couldnât help but imagine the extent of Joeâs injuries if the dimensions
hadnât been just right.
Thinking about it, she instinctively held Joeâs hand tightly.
Sensing her unease, Joe squeezed her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
âDonât worry, Iâm perfectly fine, arenât I?â
Charlotte looked deeply into his eyes and nodded firmly.
After tending to their minor cuts and scrapes, Charlotte and Joe approached
the crevice.
Two experts from the research station had already descended, carefully
securing the rope around Samuel. They signaled to the people above to pull
him up.
However, due to Samuel being wedged tightly in the crevice, they attempted several times without success.
On the sidelines, Harper and Noahâs eyes were fixed on the rope. They knew
it was their sonâs only hope and didnât even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that
their breath might also affect the rescue team.
Seeing this, Charlotte couldnât help but grip Joeâs hand nervously. Joe gently
put his arm around her shoulder. âDonât worry, heâll be fine.â
After some consideration, the two people below carefully chiseled out two
hollow spaces in front and behind Samuel, and then they signaled the people
above to try again.
With a strong pull from above, the already fragile hollow spaces shattered
completely, and Samuelâs body was finally slowly pulled up.
Everyone present let out a sigh of relief.
Harper and Noah couldnât wait any longer, rushing forward to look at
Samuelâs pale face, yet still hesitating to get too close.
The doctor accompanying the expedition took the lead, carefully examining
Samuelâs body. He furrowed his brows slightly and said, âHe must have hit a
glacier protrusion during the fall, with multiple fractures on his body, and he
probably suffered a mild concussion to the forehead.â
Although he had endured some hardships, at least he had his life, which was
much better than not making it out alive.
Harper and Noahâs hearts finally relaxed. They exchanged glances and then
approached Charlotte and Joe, kneeling down with a thud.
âWhat are you doing?â Charlotte didnât expect them to make such a move
suddenly. She frowned and looked at them, quickly avoiding them.
Harper wiped away her tears and said, âThanks to all of you. If it werenât for
youâ¦â
Without Charlotte and Joe, they wouldnât have known how to find Samuel.
Spending hours in this freezing wildernessâ¦
She couldnât even bear to think about it.
As she thought about this, Harperâs expression grew even more solemn. She
looked at Charlotte and Joe sincerely and said, âAlthough I know thereâs a big
gap between us and you, if one day you need our help, we wonât hesitate to
offer it.â
