Chapter 1654

One of them was wearing a pink coat and leaning on the shoulder of the other girl. Wesley couldn’t see

her face clearly and was not sure if that was Blair.

Even though he had not seen her for a long time now, his heart told him she must be Blair.

Wesley scanned his surroundings. It wouldn’t be easy to get to her. The current of the flood had

developed whitecaps, pushing a mass of deadly debris with it. If the current didn’t catch him, the debris

would surely crush him, carrying his battered body away.

He called two rescue workers over, who were busy saving Miller and his colleagues. In ten minutes,

they were at his side. They also saw the two girls. One of them shook his head.

“We can’t get there. The going is too treacherous. You don’t want to get caught in that. Let’s wait a bit

for the rain to let up. That might let things slow down and you’d have an easier time of it.”

Wesley’s eyes darkened.

“Wait a bit?” he asked.

“Yeah. It’s courting death if we try to get to them.”

Wesley’s eyes were as cold as ice.

“Don’t you see that they don’t have much time? If we keep waiting, they’ll die of exposure.”

“But the place they are-“

Before the man could finish speaking, Wesley took the rescue equipment away from him and told the

other rescue worker, “You! Come with me!”

“Yes!”

With a bullhorn, the man instructed the girl beside Blair to fasten the rescue rope to the big tree.

Blair seemed to have passed out. She Lay huddled up on the rock and didn’t respond to their requests.

The girl took the rope hesitantly, but with some prompting, she tied the rope around the trunk. A little

more instruction via the bullhorn, and she had the clamps and carabiners fastened. After the rope was

secured, Wesley and the rescue worker fastened their harnesses to the rope and made their way to the

rock, suspended above the roaring floodwaters. They’d set it up that way so they wouldn’t have to be

caught in the current; they’d be hanging above it. They inched closer and closer.

Excited, the girl pulled Blair’s arm and yelled, “Hey, wake up! We’re being rescued! Boo…hoo We’re

safe now.”

Upon hearing that, Blair struggled to open her eyes and saw a rope tied to the tree near the rock. Two

people were in harnesses, suspended from the rope over the surging flood. They were carefully making

their way to their position. The rain was still heavy, and her eyes were blurry.

She couldn’t see their faces, but she was sure the man in the front was

Wesley.

She tried her best to sit up on the rock. Color drained from her, and her face was as pale as a sheet.

Staring at the man, she flashed a happy smile. ‘It’s him! My superhero comes to my rescue.

I have no regrets!”

Suddenly, her eyes dulled and she almost blacked out. But Luckily, she bit her tongue and shook her

head to keep herself lucid.

She had never expected that they would meet again in such circumstances

=she would be in danger, and he would save her. ‘Geez! I must Look Like something the cat dragged

in. Will he hate me more, seeing me Like this?’
