"What happened?" Stefan asked, his heart pounding.
"The cave entrance...
It's collapsed and completely blocked off — and worse, rain keeps pouring in!" The captain stammered, looking
desperate.
"If this goes on, the cave will fill with water, and we'll either drown or die from lack of oxygen!" "What?" Stefan's
eyes widened in disbelief.
If that was the case, the only thing left for them was death.
Lack of oxygen, drowning, hypothermia, hunger...
They could take their pick.
"Are we dying? I...
| don't want to die." Tiffany, who had been quiet all along, suddenly started to cry.

"lI want to grow up and keep on being my parents' daughter.
| want to keep going to school and make many friends.
| don't want to die!" Adie hurriedly held Tiffany's hand to comfort her.
"Stop crying, Tiffany, we won't die.
My daddy is awesome—he'll definitely cup with a way to rescue US.
Plus, my mommy says I'm a lucky star, so everyone will be safe as long as I'm here." "Haha! It's fate!" Madelyn
watched the water rising on the ground and howled with laughter.
"Even if | let you all go, God still wants you all to die.
Nobody can rescue you now.
It's better this way, Tiffany.
| can't be your mother in this life, but maybe you'll be my daughter in our next lives! Are you looking forward to
it?" Madelyn touched Tiffany's head, smiling maniacally.
"Don't touch her, you crazy woman!" Adie had lost all hope in Madelyn.
He pushed her away and stood in front of Tiffany protectively.
You're the most wicked stepmother in this world.
When we're out, I'll make sure Tiffany's father divorces you so you can't cnear Tiffany again!" "You're so
protective of Tiffany, kid.
Do you like her that much?" Madelyn grinned at Adie, her eyes gleaming.
"Fine then, since I'm Tiffany's mother, I'll set an engagement between you and Tiffany.
When Tiffany is grown up, you can marry her.
What do you think? The only condition is...
You both have to be alive to do it!"
Stefan knew he couldn't say anything to the crazy woman so he just went to the cave entrance and started

Unfortunately, the layer of dirt and rock blocking the entrance was so thick that it was impossible to move. If
anyone tried to move it, the whole cave might collapse, and they would all get buried underneath it.
"Chere, Mr.
Hunt.
Stop touching the dirt, or you might get buried under a landslide.
It's too dangerous!" The captain had wanted to moveThe dirt away from the entrance of the cave too, but he
didn't dare to.
Stefan paused, looking up at the crumbling ceiling of the cave in despair.
"Does that mean...
we have to die here?" Meanwhile,
Quinton, Leia, and the other were standing outside the ward and watching the latest weather forecast, far away
from the island.
They were very anxious, but couldn't make a decision... &
