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

Armand glanced at the man and took over the water immediately. He opened the lid and passed it to Theresa. He called her in a low voice, “Theresa, wake up. Have some water.”

Theresa didn’t respond at all. No matter how Armand called her or shook her body, she was still in a coma.

The man in the camouflage uniform reminded him, “Pinch the area between her nose and upper lip.”

Armand passed the water bottle into the other hand and pinched her.

After a moment, Theresa woke up but still looked quite weak as if she would faint again. Armand put the water next to her lips and whispered, “Drink some water.”

Theresa’s dried-out lips were creased. As soon as they parted, the skin on the surface cracked, and blood oozed. Her throat was dried out as if it was on fire. It had burned all the water on her body. Suddenly, she tasted the water, starting to gulp it down.

They could hear the sounds when she was gulping.

There was half bottle only, which couldn’t completely ease her thirst, but she had some energy slightly.

“We came here in groups of two. When I fell in here, my colleague was next to me, so I’m sure he will inform others to rescue us soon. Please don’t worry,” said the man in the camouflage uniform.

Upon hearing his voice, Theresa turned around slowly, only to find another man there. Now she understood where the water was from.

“We’ll be rescued. Hang on!” Armand said in excitement while holding her.

Theresa blinked. Her curled eyelashes slightly shook. Through the dimmed light, she could tell how excited Armand was.

Recalling what he had said to her, she lowered down her eyelids gently.

Right then, someone was shouting at the entrance of the cave, asking if anyone was down there.

The man in the camouflage uniform stood up and looked up to speak back to the entrance. Soon, a rope was tossed down from above. They were told to pull the rope when they were able to grab it, so people above would know the length and stop tossing it down.

The man in the camouflage uniform was waiting there. Soon, the rope was tossed down. He looked at Armand and said, “You guys go up first.”

Armand grabbed the shirt that he took off to put it on Theresa. After she was decent, he carried her to the entrance. The man in the camouflage uniform grabbed the role and walked to Armand. He checked on Theresa and said, “She’s quite weak. When they pull her up, it would be difficult for her to take care of herself. Why don’t you go up together?”

Armand nodded in agreement.
