Chapter 302 A Matter of Life and Death
Margaret never expected Mia to burst out with such strength at this moment, and for a while, Mia clung to her tightly.
Moreover, Mia was determined to die together with Margaret, holding her tightly. Margaret struggled a few times but couldn't break free.
That familiar and terrifying feeling of falling came over her, and Margaret's face turned pale instantly.
Margaret's mind went blank at this moment. She bit her lip hard, forcing herself to calm down.
"Margaret!" At the moment Margaret fell, an unprecedented tension flashed in William's eyes.
Mia actually jumped off the cliff with Margaret.
He couldn't lose Margaret!
He had to save her!
William took a long stride and ran towards Margaret without hesitation.
He reached out towards the direction Margaret was falling, but he was a step too late. William only managed to grab Margaret's arm. In the next second, William and Margaret fell together.
"Margaret, don't be afraid, I'm here!" William pulled Margaret's arm, bringing her into his embrace.
Once again, Margaret fell into William's broad and warm arms.
Looking at William's face in front of her, Margaret's mind was filled with countless thoughts.
He was willing to risk his life for her.
Even though he knew he couldn't pull her back, he still jumped down without hesitation.
And she had a bomb strapped to her.
If it exploded, they would both be blown to pieces!
William had already loved her more than his own life.
The falling speed was so fast, the wind hurt her face. Margaret couldn't remember how many times William had risked his life to save her.
She only remembered that before she lost all consciousness, her only thought was that if she and William could survive, she would marry him.
At the bottom of Glimmerpeak Cliff
Dense, tall trees blocked the sunlight, and the ground was covered with soft grass. But at this moment, a place where branches were broken and leaves and weeds were in disarray could be seen.
William lay unconscious on the ground, covered in injuries. His face was full of cuts from the branches, and his legs were a bloody mess.
But even so, he still held Margaret in his arms tightly. She was well protected by him, with only a few minor scratches and no serious injuries.
Margaret moaned a few times and woke up from a nightmare.
She opened her eyes, looking around in confusion.
The dark, dense jungle, with the sounds of various unknown animals in her ears.
Rubbing her temples, Margaret's memory gradually returned.
She remembered that Mia had kidnapped Juniper, threatened her with a bomb, and then jumped off the cliff with her.
At that life-and-death moment, William had jumped down with her without hesitation.
She quickly looked down and saw the man beneath her.
William's face was pale, his eyes closed, and he was covered in blood, looking horrifying.
Margaret's heart sank.
She was fine because William had cushioned her fall.
But he was seriously injured.
Margaret was both worried and scared. She quickly moved to the side and pushed him. "William, how are you?"
But William didn't respond at all.
Margaret lowered her head and carefully checked William's wounds.
She found that he was seriously injured, with no part of his body intact, and multiple fractures.
Especially his leg. Seeing the wound, Margaret's heart trembled.
She knew medicine, and no one understood better than her how serious these wounds were.
"William, wake up!" Margaret gently patted William's face, trying to wake him up, but felt a burning temperature.
Margaret's heart trembled again. It must be tetanus caused by multiple infected wounds.
If the rescue team didn't find them soon, William would miss the best time for treatment!
Margaret was extremely anxious. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
She had medical skills but no medicine at hand. In modern jungles, there were basically no herbs, and she couldn't even find anything to stop the bleeding.
"William, hold on!" Margaret tightly held William's burning hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of helplessness.
Memories slowly flooded Margaret's mind.
During the warehouse explosion, the plane crash, and the sea accident, William had protected her time and time again, always saying, "Margaret, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Just now, at the moment of life and death, this man once again risked his life to save her.
At the moment of falling off the cliff, Margaret once again saw her own heart clearly.
She loved him very much.
Therefore, she couldn't let anything happen to him!
She had to save him!
Margaret stood up and then remembered that she still had a bomb strapped to her!
But strangely, it hadn't exploded.
Margaret carefully moved a few steps to the side and looked down at the bomb on her.
It seemed to be fake.
Margaret tentatively reached out and removed the bomb strapped to her.
It had no destructive power and wouldn't explode.
Thinking back to Mia's behavior, she must have thought it was a real bomb.
So Mia had somehow gotten a counterfeit product.
Margaret was speechless, but she couldn't worry about that now. She had to wake William up quickly.
Margaret walked around, but besides some vines around them, she found nothing else.
She guessed that when they fell, the vines had entangled them, causing them to fall bit by bit, which was why they hadn't died from such a high fall.
They were lucky.
Unable to find any herbs, Margaret could only tear her inner clothes to use as bandages to wrap William's wounds, preventing him from losing too much blood.
But William's condition was not optimistic. She had to get him to a hospital as soon as possible!
Margaret looked up. The high mountains and tree canopies made the surroundings desolate.
"Is anyone there?" Margaret shouted again and again, but only her own echo answered her.
Glimmerpeak was already desolate, and the bottom of the cliff was even more deserted.
Biting her lip tightly, Margaret looked down at the unconscious William, her heart filled with anxiety.
She couldn't sit and wait for death; she had to get William out of here as soon as possible!
