Chapter 408

From the hole, Valerie could only see Matthew’s side profile. She could not tell if he was injured.

Valerie shone the light on Matthew. In the darkness, his face was as pale as a vampire’s.

Ever since she met him, Matthew had always handled everything perfectly. It was as if he could withstand it when the sky fell Valerie had never seen him in such a sorry state.

Valerie was anxious. She yelled at Charles and the team to help. She wanted to move the mounds and rocks away. However, too many rocks were blocking the road on both sides, People could not pass through, and equipment could not enter. They could only dig bit by bit.

There were a total of ten people on the rescue team. Two members had left to seek help. The rest of the people, nine including Charles, began to dig-

“Quick, everyone, hurry up and help. It’s easier to dig while the soil is moist now. I’ll harden when the sun’s out and difficult to continue.

Valerie knelt and began to dig. She was not strong, but the rescue team was quite experienced. They finally managed to remove the outermost big rock, Valerie quickly observed Matthew’s situation. She saw Matthew buried in the rock pile with his lower body tightly trapped. No wonder he could not come out.

“Matthew Valerie shouted again, trying to rouse him

What Valerie feared most was not whether the rocks had injured Mathew, Matthew had been lying there for ton long, and his body temperature could be too low. Once the body temperature reached a certain level, a human might wiffer from shock and lose their breath.

She could only shout repeatedly and find a flat stone to use as a hor. She tried to dig up the surrounding soil so Matthew could breathe smoothly. In the darkness, Matthew’s consciousness drifted. He seemed to hear many people calling his nume, one after another

He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes. The g Valerie.

group of people in his mind vanished. He realized the person who had been calling him

was

“Valerie? Why is she here! Matthew was confused.

Matthew looked at Valerie in surprise as she used her hands and feet to pry open the surrounding soil and stones. Her plain little face was full of worry. With her tightly furrowed brows, Valerie looked as if she was about to cry at any moment. However, there was a stubbornness in Valerie’s eyes, showing she would not stop until she achieved her goal.

Matthew’s heart softened. He wanted to call Valerie’s name, but when he opened his mouth, he did not have the strength to make a sound. He could only carefully move his hand toward her.

“Matthew!

Valerie was shocked. She quickly lay down and met Matthew’s eyes. Her stiff face instantly lit up like the sun. She reached out and grabbed his hand

Her hand was warm, so warm that it was a little hot.

When the rescue team heard that Matthew had responded, they immediately became motivated. The nearby rescue team also arrived to help. Valerie grabbed Matthew’s hand tightly. “Hang in there. The ambulance will be here soon.”

Okay

His voice was hourse. The lack of oxygen caused by the long compression and the dizziness the low temperature caused surrounded him again. His willpower was undoubtedly strong. He had only taken a short nap after a long time, but now, he felt he could not hold on anymore. Looking at Valerie’s face, he fainted with relief,

It was easier to do things with more people. In about five to six minutes, the rescue teams had cleaned up all the rocks on Matthew.

The medical team also came. After roughly checking that there were no injuries on Matthew’s body, they hurriedly carried him onto the stretcher. There was another thing that put everyone in a dilemma. Although Matthew was unconscious, he refused to let go of Valerie’s hand.

Valerie had no choice but to make a prompt decision. “I’ll go with him.”

Charles nodded. “Sure, the ambulance is at the foot of the mountain

Charles finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad they found Matthew, or he would be at fault and live in guilt.

The mountain path was difficult to walk on. The rescuers carried the stretcher to the foot of the mountain, and Valerie followed. Even when they

reached the hospital. Matthew did not let go of Valerie.

The doctor had to pry Matthew’s fingers open one by one to free Valerie’s hand.
