A Matter of Wife and Love

Amelie was examining the marks on the ground when she sensed a shadow charging at her from behind. She instinctively darted to the side, falling to the ground. Before she knew what had happened, a shriek rang out from beside her.

“Aah!”

When she turned around, all she could see was someone falling off the cliff. So, she stared at the ridge for a while, dazed, before a realization hit her. Then, she jerked her head up, looking around for Jodie. Where’s Jodie? Could she have fallen off the cliff?

Boom! Suddenly, her face contorted in terror as a loud boom resounded in her thoughts. She instinctively peered over the cliff’s edge in search of Jodie.

She looked down the cliff and saw a collection of trampled, withering plants. They all exhibited signs of impact marks, but she couldn’t see through to assess Jodie’s condition. Nonetheless, Amelie didn’t give any thought to pausing before leaping to her feet and sliding down the slope until she reached the bottom of the ravine. After making a few wrong turns, she eventually located the pond Jodie had fallen into.

As Jodie fell, the forest’s vines caught her and cushioned her fall, so she didn’t go straight into the pond. Still, with the vines around her waist, her head was submerged. She could not raise her head, so she had no choice but to continually struggle, which made both her and the vines sway and jiggle. Moreover, she would drown if left in that position.

Meanwhile, Amelie was horrified when she saw that.

Jodie, on the other hand, was suffering horribly. It’s unfair that I have to go through this when I only want to push that woman off the edge. The vines had entangled her from head to toe, and she had no way of freeing herself. Her entire body was sending out waves of fear and pain while her head was submerged, and all she could do was scream for help. Before she could say anything, her mouth was filled with ice-cold mountain water.

She coughed and choked to get the water out of her mouth, but she couldn’t, so it came out her nose instead. Soon, she felt her lungs expanding to their breaking point as the pressure on them increased, and she struggled to catch her breath. As a sheltered kid raised in luxury, she had never encountered such a situation. At that point, she was afraid and could only flail helplessly in the water.

Amelie could tell the danger Jodie was in within a few seconds. Jodie was hanging over a deep pond with blue waters that
