Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 143 No One Is Perfect from Head to Toe

Thinking back to that near-death moment, I felt like my voice had just up and left me. I stared at him, dumbfounded, for a few seconds before managing a weak, "Thanks." "That's it?" His voice went up a notch, clearly not satisfied.

"What else do you want?"

I was struggling to breathe under his weight and tried to push him off, but he was like a freaking statue.

"If you're not gonna offer yourself, at least a kiss, right?"

Even now, Faris was still cracking jokes.

The gratitude I felt a second ago vanished, and I shoved him harder.

"Get off."

Right then, the door got kicked open.

Bobby and the others rushed in, flashlights blinding us.

"Are you guys okay?" They surrounded us in no time.

Bobby shouted, "Faris, your leg!"

A few guys hurried over to lift the wooden beam together.

I had a bad feeling. But Faris seemed chill, still wearing that faint smile.

After they moved the beam, they helped Faris up from on top of me.

Bobby's flashlight hit Faris's leg, and I almost lost it.

His jeans were soaked in blood.

Bobby said, worried, "Faris, your leg looks bad. But we can't get down the mountain now. What do we do?"

One of the guys sighed. "I checked earlier; a tree behind the house fell and hit the roof, breaking this beam. Faris, you have the worst luck!"

Only I knew I was the unlucky one. If Faris hadn't saved me, I'd be the one crushed.

Faris just smiled nonchalantly. "It's nothing, just a scratch."

But seeing his pant leg drenched in blood, it was definitely more than a scratch.

"Bobby, got any hemostatic stuff?" I asked.

Bobby thought for a moment. "I think we have some hemostatic powder."

I nodded. "We need to stop the bleeding first."

Everyone decided to move Faris to the bed in the next room. One guy supported his head, two held his waist, and the others took his legs. Faris couldn't help but chuckle as they carried him. "I can walk, you know. One of my legs is still good."

Bobby said, "We don't know if you broke anything, so we gotta be careful. You're still young."

After Bobby found the hemostatic supplies, he also brought a bottle of hot water and handed me a towel.

I took it without hesitation, ready to clean Faris's wound.
