My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1038

The flashlight shone in my direction, and I squinted at the light. Looking away from the light, I saw two deep pits not far away. They must be the ones I stepped into just now.

There were some tea trees covered with mud. My guess was correct. This place had just collapsed.

The rain was getting heavier, and I was soaking wet. I was not sure whether the soil under my feet was solid or not, so I could only try to walk on it. When I saw Sebastian approaching me, I said, "Be careful, some of the soil are soft!"

"Alright!" He had reached my side. When I heard his familiar voice, I was surprised.

When I looked up in amazement at Hendrix. "Hendrix? It's you!" My originally tense nerves, for some reason, suddenly relaxed when I met him.

He also breathed a sigh of relief. He pursed his lips, and his handsome eyebrows raised, with a hint of coldness. "What? Are you disappointed you didn't get to meet the person you thought me to be?"

I was shocked and ignored his sarcasm. There were more important things at hand. I urged him, "Let's go up quickly. We can sink here anytime!"

He understood. He pulled me towards the edge of the pit, ready to leave. He looked up and yelled, "I've found her. Quickly tie the rope to a tree."

Rainie's voice came from above. "Okay, I understood. Take care!"

Hendrix tied the rope that was on his body around my waist and said, "Let's escape this hole together!"

I nodded. When I saw him reaching out to hold my hand, I subconsciously dodged and said, "It's okay, I'll just follow behind you!"

He looked back at me. His eyes were gentle, and I could not tell what he was feeling. He just calmly averted his eyes and said, "Be careful!"

I was dumbfounded and knew that he misunderstood my intentions. I sighed and said, "You think too much. The most important thing now is to reduce the risk of having both of us dead. If we continue to stay here, something bad will happen to the both of us."

"I would be okay with that!" he said. Regardless of my struggle, he pulled me up and tried to push me up.

My heart taunted me. How could it be so easy? I fell again.

A voice came from above. "How are you guys doing? Can you climb out?"

"The soil is too soft. You'll have to throw down some branches!" Hendrix said as his gaze fell on me. "Don't worry, I won't let you stay here alone."
