Chapter 194 What A Blunder

A dull thud echoed through the silence.

Christina fell heavily into what seemed like a pit, with the smell of dirt filling her nostrils and making her cough.

She realized her ankle was injured as soon as she moved.

Before she could react, she heard the sound of something heavier falling in beside her.

Christina, are you hurt?

A man’s low magnetic voice came through the darkness, followed by the faint moonlight revealing the

man’s face.

Francis?

Christina was so angry that she hit him on the head.

Why didn’t you tell me it was you earlier? You scared me!

Francis rubbed his head. He wasn’t angry; instead, he simply chuckled. I told you not to run, so how could you blame me?

He added, This area was rented out to a film crew for filming, and many areas are still under construction. You’re bound to get hurt if you run around.”

Christina rolled her eyes in frustration.

No wonder the streetlights suddenly went out. The film crew had finished filming and left.

What an embarrassing blunder I’ve made!

You need to call for help. I sprained my foot and can’t move now,Christina said, looking up at Francis.

Judging from the length of time she had been falling, the pit was not shallow and was actually very deep.

Climbing up without tools or assistance was impossible.

Francis patted both his empty pockets helplessly.

I was filming just now and didn’t bring my phone. What about you?

Christina had brought hers, but it had fallen out when she fell.

She sighed lightly, feeling as if even the heavens were playing a trick on her.

They could only wait until someone noticed they were missing and came to look for them.

It’s just my bad luck,Christina said, sighing.
