Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 286 The Child is Missing

In the middle of Sophie's screams, a pair of wet arms caught her just in time.

The warm water splashed up as she fell, soaking them both. Instinctively, she clung to his neck. His warm, damp body made her blush and her heart race, but she didn't dare

let go.

"With your current diving skills...." Richard's teasing voice snapped her back to reality. Embarrassed, she tried to pull away, but the pain in her foot made her wince.

Sophie gritted her teeth, moved to the pool's edge, and slid into the water until only her head was above the surface.

Honestly, she wished she could dunk her head too, she was so embarrassed to face Richard.

If Richard hadn't caught her in time, she couldn't imagine how much water she would have swallowed or how pathetic she would have looked.

The more nervous she got, the more she embarrassed herself!

Sophie sneaked a glance at Richard and saw he had resumed his relaxed, eyes-closed posture.

So she mimicked him, closing her eyes. Given her recent embarrassment and the awkward situation of sharing a hot spring with him, it was not the time for conversation.

She hoped he would forget her embarrassing moment.

The scenic villa at Cloud Lake Valley was already serene. Now, in the dead of night, the only sounds in the hot spring room were the bubbling water and their breathing.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Cloud Lake Valley Scenic Area, a newly arrived Lamborghini was stopped by security. "Sorry, but because Skyline International Corporation is holding an event here, the area is closed to the public for a week."

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a woman with a meticulously made-up face.

"Not even for me?" the woman asked with a gentle smile.

The security guard rubbed his eyes, looked at her carefully, and then became a bit excited. "Are you Ellin?"

Ellin smiled and nodded.

The security guard stammered, blushing, "Ellin, you've always been my favorite actress."

Ellin's slender fingers, adorned with beautiful nails, caressed the steering wheel as she spoke softly, "I'm Ellin, Mr. Windsor's girlfriend from Skyline International Corporation. May I go in?"

The security guard quickly raised the barrier. "Please go ahead."

"Thank you!" Ellin gave him a warm smile and then drove in.

After parking in the scenic area's lot, Ellin had just stepped out of the car when a cheerful female voice called out from the darkness. "Cousin, you got here really fast."

Ellin walked towards her and asked directly, "Where is he staying?"
