Chapter 367 Cliff (Part Two) (1/2)
Ashley's whole body had sunk into the cliff. The wind blew her, like the wind of the nether world brought by the God of death.
She looked at the man who was holding her tightly on the cliff and said, ”Jasper, let go of me. If it goes on like this, the two of us will both fall down.”
”No, I won't. I asked my mother to call someone up before I came here. I marked the road. As long as we hang on, someone will come to save us.”
”But I'm afraid I can't wait for them. The snow is too slippery.” As Ashley said, the two of them slid an inch deeper into the cliff.
Jasper tightened his grip on the ground with the other hand. ”We can wait. We will all be saved. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.”
In such a life and death moment, the man was still gritting his teeth and holding her tightly. Ashley's eyes were filled with tears again. ”If we can survive this time, then get married.”
The wind from the cliff blew in his ears, and Jasper thought he had misheard. ”Don't you care why I stopped you from investigating that man?”
”I don't care.” Ashley shook her head and said, ”It doesn't matter anymore.”
”Aren't you afraid of trusting the wrong person?”
”I'm not afraid.” With tears in her eyes, she looked at the man who was holding her tightly and said, ”We have experienced life and death together. There is nothing to be afraid of.”
At this time, in the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Adela and her mother finally arrived at the mourning ceremony.
It was late. Almost all the guests who came to mourn Bruce had left. Albert, Mandy and Tom were sitting in the corridor in silence.
Holding her daughter's hand, Kelly walked towards them with hesitation. ”Sister.”
Mandy looked up and said nothing.
”Sister, where is Jasper? Is he here? Adela has something to talk to him.” Kelly said brazenly.
Mandy was well-educated. Although she didn't want to talk to Kelly at all, she still said, ”If you have anything to tell, just tell me. Jasper isn't here.”
”Not here?” ”Then where did he go? Auntie Mandy, I really have something to talk to Jasper. My friend said he wanted to help me vent my anger and teach Jasper and Ashley a lesson. Where are they now? ”
”What?” Mandy sat up from the bamboo chair and stared at Adela with red eyes. She was about to slap her. ”It's you again! It's you again!”
”Honey!” Albert pulled her back and said, ”Calm down.”
”How can I calm down?” Mandy finally lost her composure and shook off Albert. ”It's getting dark. My son's life is still uncertain. How can I calm down?”
”Is it...” Kelly couldn't help covering her mouth.
