Chapter 238 238: War drums...

I barely heard what the warrior shouted.

I kept digging, not minding my bleeding fingers from the effort. All I kept muttering as I continued to dig around her was…

"Stay alive, Lyla… please, stay alive."

Then…

It was faint. So soft that, for a moment, I thought I had imagined it. But then it came again—a weak, muffled sound.

A whimper.

Everything in me went still; my entire body locked up, and my breath caught in my throat. Lyla!

I let out a raw, desperate growl, wondering why the first responders weren't here yet. "She's alive!" I shouted. "She's in there!"

The warriors who had been hovering around me with uncertainty immediately sprang into action. Several of them rushed forward, helping me dig while others retrieved tools to remove the heavier rubble.

The other responders who were called first also joined in, and they began to dig carefully and quickly at the same time. Seconds felt like an eternity. Every moment that passed without her in my arms was unbearable.

Finally, after what felt like forever, someone shouted, "I can see her legs!"

"Lyla," I choked out.

And continued digging around her, following the direction of her hand. In a few minutes, I was done digging and had managed to expose her head and other parts of her body. With the help of the warriors, we carefully pulled her out from under the rubble.
