Chapter 114 I Can Not Escape Your Destiny (1/2)

At that critical moment, a veteran ran forward to catch Rachel. He reacted so quickly that he got there first and he did catch her.

However, his grasp wasn't very tight. Fortunately when he caught Rachel, she had the chance to claw out and get a grasp of the weeds over the edge of the cliff and stopped herself from falling.

All this happened within several seconds just before Hiram got to the scene. Daniel, Carl and the others all ran towards Rachel as soon as they heard the screaming.

Rachel was so scared that she couldn't pull herself up. She had to be hoisted up by the veteran. Her face was so pale and she was so frightened that she hugged Hiram tightly and did not let go. She held on to him trembling.

She did not dare to wonder if she had fallen down, would she have definitely been reduced to a mangled carcass?

”What the hell happened? Were you going to scare me to death? Do you know what you did just now?” Hiram scolded her because he was also so scared. Hiram was not less frightened than her. He cuddled her with his strong arms tightly, his heart beating fast and his knees weakened.

Fortunately, the veterans were all from the special forces and he had paid a high price for them. He had made a wise choice as they had delivered the qualities required for this dangerous expedition.

”Had I known this earlier, I would not have let you come with us, ” Hiram said. Hiram was kind of hating himself for being too indecisive. He was not supposed to let her come, but he could not help it when she begged him so convincingly.

Jill standing beside them started to cry and said, ”Ms. Ruan, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that I did not catch you.” Jill seemed very frightened and could not stop crying.

Rachel put her arms on Hiram's waist tightly. She was too frightened to loosen her hands from him. She was unable to bear such a fright that she almost forgot how to breathe properly.

Daniel squatted down and patted her on the shoulder and said, ”Okay, thank God you're safe now. From now on, be more careful and don't ever go near the edge of the cliff again.”

”That's right, Rachel. You almost scared me to death as well. Don't ever go near the edge of the cliff. If you want to take a rest, take it far away from the cliff.” Carl beat on his own chest and sighed in relief. But there was still a lingering fear.

Chad also let out a sigh of relief. Gary who was setting the fire rack far away when the scene happened, also wiped the sweat from his brow. At that moment, almost everyone was frightened.

Hiram embraced Rachel, whose face was almost as pale as paper. And then he glanced coldly at Jill, who sat on the ground crying, and said, ”You should be glad that she's okay! Otherwise, I would not only end the cooperation of this program, but also have you buried with her!”

Although he hadn't seen what exactly happened, if anything happened to Rachel, Jill had to take responsibility for it, whether she was guilty or not.

Shortly after, the tents were set up far from the cliff. Hiram carried Rachel into the tent to let her take a rest first. After all, she had gotten weak after the near-accident.

Hiram didn't leave Rachel until she fell asleep. As soon as he came out of the tent, Daniel waved to him, motioning him to come over.

What just happened a moment ago was probably already forgotten by the team. However, the scene happened to have been recorded by the unmanned aerial vehicle. Not surprisingly, every
