Chapter 211 The Small Possibility
Braden ;drove to the cemetery as fast as he could.
During the meal, Tracy’s casual talk reminded him.
The cemetery was located in a remote area. The terrain was complicated, and the cemetery was full of
miasma. He was worried that Shirley would also be lost in the cemetery like the Internet celebrities who
came for an adventure.
Although the possibility was very small, Braden still wanted to search for it personally.
The car glided in the darkness. The front light illuminated the road ahead. Braden controlled the steering
wheel with both hands. His sharp eyes observed the surroundings as he called out
Shirley’s name.
“Shirley!”
At night, the quiet and cold forest cemetery was very empty. The abrupt sound was especially
penetrating, causing birds to flutter. His voice echoed in the forest.
Soon, Braden drove the car to the place where Shirley and he separated during the day, then opened
the door of the car.
“Shirley, where are you? Answer me!”
Braden called out in an even louder voice. His voice was a little hoarse.
Unfortunately, the only response he received was the cries of the crows and endless silence.
As he shouted, Braden suddenly felt that he was a little silly.
At this moment, Shirley might have already returned home. She might be having a sweet dream now.
However, he was like a fool, screaming in this gloomy place at night for the small possibility of finding
her… Everyone who saw him might think that he had been bewitched.
Braden secretly clenched his fists and ordered himself to shout three more times. If there was still no
response, he would immediately stop this stupid behavior.
“Shirley, if you don’t respond, I will leave!”
Braden shouted angrily.
Shirley was lying under the ramp. She was in a semi–conscious state. She felt tired and painful and had
long been exhausted. Moreover, she was hungry and almost fainted from hunger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVaguely, she heard someone calling her name.
Shirley could tell that it was Braden.
At first, Shirley was a little excited, thinking that she could finally be saved.
However, Shirley realized that if she was really saved by Braden, she would owe him a favor for no
reason, and she would also be humiliated.
Thus, she didn’t respond deliberately.
However, when she heard Braden say he would leave, she had a sense of crisis and coughed lazily.
These sounds of coughing were low. She did not expect Braden to hear them.
However, Braden, who was on the slope, heard it immediately.
“Shirley, is that you? Where are you?”
In the dark night, the road was full of twists and turns. Trees were everywhere, and there were countless
pits in the dark. He could not tell where Shirley was.
Shirley continued to cough.
However, her voice became louder.
Braden caught it with his sharp senses, and his entire body tensed up. His handsome face was filled with
worry as he said coldly, “I know where you are. Stay still. Don’t be afraid. I’ll come and save you
immediately.”
He strode forward with his long legs and ran toward the source of the sound without saying a word.
Shirley suddenly had a bad feeling. “Hey, don’t come over here yet. Be careful…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a thud. Like her, Braden stepped into the pit and fell to
the bottom of the slope.
Shirley immediately moved away with her broken leg. If not for Shirley’s quick reaction, she would have
been smashed to death by Braden.
“That’s so dangerous.”
Shirley clutched her beating heart, her face full of lingering fear.
Shirley said in her heart, oh my goodness. Does he come to kill me or save me?
When she looked at Braden, who was lying in front of her, she couldn’t see his expression and couldn’t
figure out his condition.
“Braden, how are you? Did you faint?”
“I’m not that delicate.”
Braden covered his dislocated left leg with his large palm. Even though he was sweating from the
pain, he still put on a cold and proud look.
“That’s good.”
Shirley was finally relieved.
As expected, Braden was stronger than her. He still looked fine after falling into such a deep pit. That
was unbelievable.
“How are you?”
Braden endured the pain and fumbled around in the darkness, moving closer to Shirley.
“My head and legs are broken, and I am tired and cold. Moreover, I am so starving.”
Shirley tried to get up several times, but her legs could not move at all. She could only lie helplessly
at the bottom of the pit.
When she was extremely starved, she thought that she would die there.
“How could you fall into the pit like this while walking? You are really stupid. Can’t you call for help?”
Braden was so worried that he wanted to beat Shirley up.
It had been four years, but Shirley still hadn’t improved herself at all. She didn’t know how to take
care of herself.
“My phone broke. What can I do?”
Shirley said annoyedly, “You know how to walk well, right? Didn’t you also fall? You were just luckier than
me and didn’t hurt yourself.”
“I fell because I was…”
Braden suddenly stopped and fell silent.
“What do you want to say?”
Seeing that Braden was silent, Shirley teased with a smile, “Don’t you want to admit it? You fell because
you are stupid. I have already reminded you. Why are you still rushing recklessly? Are there ghosts
chasing you?”
“Yes, I, Braden, am indeed the most stupid person in the world. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to save
you in the middle of the night.”
Braden said coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBraden wondered, why didn’t this stupid woman know that I fell so miserably because I was too worried
about her?
“I didn’t ask you to save me. My throat was just itchy. I coughed twice, and you rushed over on your own.
Don’t blame me.”
Shirley didn’t want to owe Braden a favor.
It wasn’t easy for them to become quits. She didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore.
“Lend me your phone. I’ll call my friend to save you.”
Braden could feel that the pain in his left leg was getting worse and worse. He was afraid that he had
been injured badly. He estimated that he could not even walk a few steps, let alone save Shirley.
So, Braden handed the phone to Shirley and said in a proud voice, “I want to see who can save you
except me.”
Shirley quickly took the phone and wanted to call Ewan.
However, Shirley was desperate when she saw the empty signal bars on the screen. “Where is this
place? There’s no signal at all!”
“No signal?”
Braden frowned.
If they couldn’t make a call, they would have to wait for death in this wilderness since both of them
were injured.
“It’s no wonder. This place is remote, and it’s also the bottom of the pit. It’s normal that there is no
signal. I think it will be better if we climb up.”
Shirley remembered that she could still receive Kevin’s message during the day, and she might be
able to find the signal once she got out of this pit.
However, it was more than 0.6 miles away to walk from this pit to the main road. The surrounding bushes
covered the lane, and it was dark. It was challenging to get out of the pit and walk to the
road.
“If so, we should try to get out of this pit.”
Braden’s voice was cold and firm in the night.
“But my legs can’t move at all. Otherwise, I would have climbed up a long time ago. I…”
Just as Shirley was worried, Braden crouched in front of her and ordered, “Hold my neck with your arms.
I’ll carry you.”
