The hole was pretty cramped, so the air was running thin after the two of them were stuck inside for hours.

“I’m sorry, Sophie. If not for me, you wouldn’t have been trapped here as well.” Ysabelle was aware of how physically skilled Sophie was. If I didn’t drag her down, she would’ve been fine right now. I feel very indebted to her.

“All right, save your breath. They’ll definitely rescue us.” Sophie’s voice sounded calm. While our situation is dire, and we may very well die here, I still have hope that Tristan will find me, dead or alive.

Of course, Ysabelle was aware it was pointless to talk about those stuff at that moment. However, she couldn’t help it because she had never encountered anything like her current situation before.

“I’m so thirsty right now.” It had been more than ten hours since she took in even a sip of water, so the thirst was unbearable for her.

Sophie wasn’t doing any better as she was only holding on by relying on her will to pull through the situation.

“Why aren’t you speaking anymore, Sophie? Are you all right?” The hole was too dark for Ysabelle to see her friend’s situation.

“There is no need to worry about me. I’m fine,” Sophie comforted. I think the condition of my leg is getting worse as time passes. If this continues, I may lose my leg.

“Mhm,” replied Ysabelle. I’m so glad to have Sophie by my side right now. If I had been alone, I don’t think I could’ve made it this far.

“You have to hang in there, Ysabelle. Your uncle and Felix will definitely come to rescue you.” Sophie started to feel she was reaching her limit. If I can’t make it, I hope she will since she should be in a better state compared to me.

“What’s the matter with you, Sophie?” As clueless as Ysabelle was, even she had noticed something was off about Sophie by that point. Didn’t she say we need to hold on together?
