Chapter 881 The Trip To Lover Island (Part 7)

A lot of places around Lover Island became slippery after the heavy rain.

It was already late and the presence of fog made it hard for people to see their surroundings. The place was filled with plants and the crew had a tough time walking without stumbling.

Catching their partner's hands, the team carefully walked down the hill. Their flashlights helped them see through this difficult terrain.

"Cindy Chen!"

With a flashlight in his hand, Steven called out for his partner. By now, guilt had overtaken him. He realized he should have checked on her as soon as she disappeared.

But he had told himself she must have gone back to her room to rest. In fact, some people didn't show up for the picnic tonight, tired from the event in the daytime. Steven assumed Cindy was one of them.

"Cindy?

Cindy…"

Just when he was about to move forward, something made him come to a halt. He stood there and directed the torch towards the ground. Then he noticed that there was a hole in the ground, almost fully covered with bushes.

Steven parted a bush and asked, "Cindy? Are you there? Cindy, are you there? Please answer me!"

"…… St… Steven?"

Suddenly, Steven heard a faint voice.

Hearing Cindy's words, Steven immediately pulled himself together and held his breath! "Cindy, are you okay?"

"…… Steven, my, my artificial limb is damaged. I can't get up..." Cindy pressed her hands on her leg and shouted with her might.

"Don't worry. I'll be right there."

As he spoke, Steven shifted the light forward and made a signal.

Then he bit the flashlight and found a strong vine to slowly climb down the hole. It turned out to be a small cave.

"Steven… Be careful!"

Cindy reminded him in a trembling voice.

She had been trapped in the cave for quite a while, and no one heard her shout for help. Her mobile phone was lost and her artificial limb was broken, putting her in a miserable state. She was tired of shouting and almost decided to give up. That was when Steven found her.

Her despair was instantly replaced by hope.

When she heard Steven calling her name, her heart lit up all of a sudden.

Steven came down safely. He took the flashlight away from his mouth and walked towards Cindy. He asked, "Cindy, are you okay?"

Cindy was sitting down as she couldn't stand up. Seeing this, Steven felt awful. Her artificial lim

oking at Steven.

"Thank God! I was dead worried. When he heard that you were gone, Steven was very anxious. He is your partner which makes it his duty to find you and save you," Carla said, looking at Steven with a bright smile.

All the people here were strangers to each other. Hence the closest bond they shared was with their partners.

Hearing Carla's words, Cindy looked at Steven with soft eyes. She couldn't help but smile as she replied, "Really? I don't think he was concerned because I was his partner. He is a nice man who would have helped anyone."

Cindy evidently looked shy when she spoke. Goosebumps ran all over her body. Watching this, Carla realized Cindy needed to spend some alone time with Steven. She thought, 'I'd better leave them alone.'

So Carla said to Cindy, "Cindy, have a good rest. A helicopter will take you to the hospital for a further check-up tomorrow. And the program will pay for all the expenses. Don't worry."

Then she turned to Steven and walked to him. "You stay here and keep her company. I gotta go," she said in a low voice.

After saying that, Carla took a look at him and went outside.

Steven remained silent for a few seconds. But once Carla was out of their sight, Steven turned to face Cindy and said, "I'm leaving too. Have a good night, Cindy."

Without giving her a chance to respond, Steven left.

Watching his receding figure, disappointment coursed through Cindy.

When Carla came out of the emergency room, she was ready to take the elevator.

But to her utter shock, someone grabbed her arm.
