Chapter 216
On the edge of a cliff.
Yvette, the white horse, was still lingering mournfully on the edge
A piece of torn red fabric was hanging off a rock on the cliff’s edge. They recognized it as part of Ellinor’s riding outfit.
Theo pulled on his horse’s reins, leaped off immediately, and briskly walked to the cliffs edge. He peered down with sharp eyes but didn’t see anything Behind him, the scattered, hurried sound of horse hooves approached and then stopped
Jonah, Kemp, and Bartlett had arrived
The three got off their horses, looking at the dangerous scene at the edge of the cliff. They exchanged glances and were speechless for a moment Jonah became serious and solemn. He stepped forward and patted Theo’s shoulder gravely. “Theo, don’t be sad.”
Theo’s expression was stern and he was silent.
Sad?
Why should he be sad?
Theo turned around and looked at Jonah with a stern and calm gaze. “I’m going down there. You guys go call for a rescue team right now!”
With that, he turned around, took a climbing rope from the saddle of his black horse, swung it out, and hooked it onto a large tree at the edge of the cliff. Then he tied it around himself, ready to go down personally
Seeing this, Kemp raised his arm to grab Theo’s arm, trying to calm him down. “Theo, cool down.”
Jonah also tried to stop him, “Theo, we don’t know what the terrain is like down there. You can’t go!”
Bartlett slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, bent down to pick up the piece of red fabric hanging from the rock, and sighed sadly. “Such a shame, Ellinor was so young
Theo was quite annoyed. He broke free from Kemp’s grip, “Go call for a rescue team now!”
Theo
At that moment, Belinda, Byran, and Haillie arrived on their horses. Before they got close, they saw Theo jumping off the edge of the cliff.
Haillie’s eyes widened in shock, and she shouted. “Theo, don’t
Belinda was also frightened, “Uncle!”
“Theo!” Byran urgently spurred his horse, trying to get it to run faster.
But Theo’s figure had already disappeared from the edge of the cliff.
When they arrived at the edge, Belinda immediately jumped off her horse, ran up, and looked down in despair. She couldn’t help but cry. “Oh my god, my uncle has gone to die
with Ellinor!”
Byran was initially very anxious, but after hearing Belinda’s words, he felt helpless and said, “Theo went down with a rope. He’s not that stupid to go die with Ellinor!”
Belinda finally realized this and instantly stopped crying. She looked around, and sure enough, she saw the rope hooked on the tree. She sighed in relief, “You’re telling the truth!”
“I hope Uncle can bring Ellinor back up. I hope she’s safe.”
Byran took a pack of tissues out of his pocket and threw it to her with a disgusted look, “Wipe your snot; it looks disgusting!”
Belinda glared at him, picked up the tissues, and sobbed, “I want to disgust you!”
Haillie, standing to the side, was shocked into silence. She stood dazedly at the edge of the cliff.
She never expected that Theo would risk his life to save Ellinor!
Is Ellinor that important to him?
Is he willing to risk his life for Ellinor?
What does Patricia mean to him then?
At the bottom of the cliff.
It was dark and damp, with weeds sprouting everywhere.
The rope tied to Theo wasn’t long enough, so he was still a considerable distance from the bottom of the cliff.
