Chapter 269: I Love You (43)
She couldn’t stop trembling, her voice was faint, "It would have been better to go back to the hotel earlier. I’ve never seen anyone court death like your mother. She said I was the bane of your family, even suggesting that we divorce..." "Don’t listen to her nonsense, we won’t divorce." He tensed his face and gritted his teeth, "Just hold on a bit longer, the rope will be here soon."
"I’m so tired..." She looked up at him, who was within arm’s reach, but the rain made the palm of her hand extremely slippery, and her grip on the railing was weakening.
It took the bodyguard a minute to bring the rope, a minute that felt excruciatingly long for Gu Lili and Dragon Mother, but they persisted for the sake of survival.
The Dragon Mother’s desire to live was very strong - at first, she was holding Gu Lili’s wrist.
Gradually, she clung to Gu Lili’s body, climbing up bit by bit until she successfully got both hands on the railing.
The hand that Gu Lili used to support Dragon Mother wasn’t exerting force at that moment, but it was entirely devoid of strength and couldn’t muster any power.
Because the situation was sudden, the rope was of limited length, it was not possible to pull both people up at the same time, for fear the rope might snap; therefore, only one could be pulled up first.
