Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

However, there was no water in the cave. Besides the rocks, there were only dried branches and leaves.

If they couldn’t get out and she kept being on fever, Armand couldn’t imagine what would happen.

If they just sat and wait to be saved, they would have to wait for a long time. Theresa couldn’t continue waiting upon her current status. He put her down gently, walked to the entrance, and looked up. The entrance wasn’t straight from the ground above, so he couldn’t see anything above at all. All the light came in through that narrow crack.

Looking at Theresa who was lying next to him, he whispered, “I’ll definitely help you out of here.”

He didn’t fear death, but he couldn’t let Theresa die.

He took off his shirt and shoes. Clinging his skin to the rock would increase the drag force, which would help him to climb. Since the entrance was broad flat, he estimated the distance. Then he turned his body aside, supported himself with his legs against the rocks on both sides, and started climbing up.

However, when he started moving practically, he found the distance between the two rock walls was not the same. The higher he climbed up, the wider the gap was. His legs couldn’t be opened up so widely in the end. Even if he could move to the side, he couldn’t keep climbing up.

He hadn’t eaten for a whole day and night, so he was a bit weak now. His body suddenly lost some strength, and he slid down again. However, he didn’t give up. He tried again and again but fell all the time.

In a daze, Theresa faintly saw a figure climbing up to the entrance of the cave. He went up and fell, again and again. She tried to remind him not to waste his energy, but she was too weak.

When she was locked up, she was afraid that the food and water were with some drug, so she dared not to eat at all. Now she was on fever, so she was way too weak.

She wanted to stop him but couldn’t speak out at all.

Armand’s strength became less and less after he fell again and again. In the end, he was too worn out, looking up in despair.
