Chapter 610 Stay Strong
All of a sudden, the helicopter started shaking violently. I grabbed onto a fixture to keep myself steady and cried out
to Shawn. "Be careful! Don't worry about me!"
At a time like this, in this sudden, unexpected crisis, I had to be brave! I couldn't let Shawn get distracted because
of me!
"You're dying with me today, Shawn, and your corpse will be buried here for all eternity!"
The helicopter began a sharp descent as the pilot was trying to take us down with him. The sharp mountain peak
was right in front of us. If the helicopter crashed right into it, I was certain that even our bodies would disintegrate.
We were in an extremely dangerous situation with no time to lose!
Our lives hinged on the next few seconds!
Yet, miraculously, Shawn didn't seem at all panicked. He took out a dagger and killed the pilot at once!
The pilot's body fell into the snow beneath us!
Shawn piloted the helicopter himself, but it kept rocking back and forth and couldn't climb to a higher altitude. The
snowy peak drew nearer and nearer…
We were going to crash at any second now!
"Are you scared, Ray?"
He asked me in that low voice of his.
I was terrified!
I feared that I was going to die here!
But, with Shawn by my side…
So what if I die here today?
My eyes were red as I declared, "I'm not afraid!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do as I say then. Put on your jacket."
He had his back toward me—his broad, reliable back.
I swiftly grabbed the jacket beside me. My hands were shaking badly from the instinctive fear I had in the face of
death.
I gritted my teeth and got into my jacket. I spotted the bag I brought from the house and immediately put it on too!
The helicopter continued losing altitude. When we were only just a few hundred feet in the air, Shawn suddenly
pulled me into his arms and jumped off the helicopter. We were falling from such heights without any safety gear.
All I could see was his face and all I could feel was the harsh winds whipping around us. I gripped his waist tightly
with both hands as I wept against him!
His fingers wiped my tears away as he sighed quietly. "Look at how much you're shaking. Your tears won't stop
either. It's obvious that you're scared to death, but you still tried to put on a brave front. Why didn't I notice that
you've grown up so much, Ray?"
"Shawn…" I cried out between my sobbing.
"I'm sorry for getting you in danger again!"
I kept shaking my head. "That's not true…"
I was the one who insisted on coming with him!
"Ray, no matter what happens, you must remember to stay strong."
Crash!
Shawn and I crash-landed on the snowy ground. I was dizzy from the shock of the fall and I tried my best to move
my fingers and limbs, but my entire body felt numb!
"Shawn," I called out weakly.
I didn't get a response!
No one responded to me!
My face was covered in snow, but I could feel the warmth beneath me. It came from the man who risked his life to
protect me!
"Talk to me, Shawn!"
There was still no answer from him!
Shawn was crushed beneath me. He was going to suffocate if this continued. My tears streamed down my face as I
kept calling his name.
Even after repeating his name over and over again for thirty seconds, I still didn't get a response!
"Shawn! Shawn! Shawn!!! Talk to me, Shawn! Don't fall asleep, please! I beg you! Wake up! Sunny! Sunny! Sunny!!!
Wake up, Sunny! You'll die if you don't move!"
We had fallen a few hundred feet and the force of our landing carved out a pit in the snow that was a few feet
deep. If we remained in this position with him being pressed under me, sooner or later, we would be buried in snow.
However, that was not the most pressing matter. I was afraid that Shawn would suffocate beneath me!
Despite all my shouting, Shawn never responded to me. Terror filled every inch of me as I tried my best to move my
fingers and regain control over my body. A few minutes later, I was able to flip over. It was nighttime and while it
wasn't entirely dark, it was hard for me to see Shawn's face.
I tried to get used to the temperature and move my limbs. Ten minutes later, I finally regained the ability to move,
so I swiftly pulled Shawn into my arms.
His eyes were closed and his body chilly.
"Shawn!" I cried out.
I'm sorry! I can't be strong! I couldn't be strong whenever the situation involved Shawn.
His body was too cold. We couldn't stay in this snow pit because we would be buried under the snow soon. Thus, the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmost important thing right now was for me to take him away, but I was too weak.
Shawn was really heavy, but we couldn't stay here either.
I scrounged up every ounce of my energy to drag him out of the pit. Just doing this alone expended all the strength
I could muster, but that was enough.
All of a sudden, I remember that I had gotten his jacket too when he told me to put mine on. It was probably inside
the snow pit.
I scrambled back into the pit to find the jacket before helping Shawn into it. Then, I recalled the heat packs I had in
my bag and I quickly put one on his abdomen. Once I was done with everything, I nestled his head in my lap. Tears
kept flowing as I said, "Hurry up and wake up! Don't leave me alone, or I'll hate you forever!"
Truth be told, I was feeling thankful too.
Thank goodness I insisted on coming with him.
Otherwise, he would've been here all by himself.
I was extremely sensitive to the cold. Even though I was wearing many layers, I still felt cold, though it was bearable
right now. I was glad that I put on all those layers!
If I hadn't, I wouldn't be able to make it till morning!
The snow stopped falling at about 3.00AM. I checked the time on the watch, but I couldn't find my phone.
When the day broke, I was beginning to feel drowsy. I couldn't resist falling asleep on Shawn. When I woke up again,
I found that he was holding me in his arms. His eyes were closed but his brows were alert. Overcome with
emotions, I reached out to stroke his cheek.
His eyes flew open.
I saw his dark, glittering eyes in which I could see my reflection.
"Shawn…" I murmured.
"That's my girl. I want to hear you calling me Sunny."
"Sunny! You're finally awake!"
