Even so, she drank a lot of water and passed out.
Mark brought her to the surface, placed her on the ground, and started performing chest compressions with his big hands to release the water trapped inside. He then leaned over, his long tongue poking through her clenched teeth, giving her rescue breaths.
Then her breathing quickened slightly and she seemed about to wake up. Mark gritted his teeth, grimaced and pulled her away from him to sleep on the rock.
Out of the corner of his eye, through the clear water, h e could see that his hair was wet and his clothes were also completely drenched and slightly torn. He looked terrible.
What was he thinking just now? He even tried to save her!
He desperately tried to save her even after she let Raine fall off a cliff. Well, he was crazy. He was. But the emptiness in his heart was gone.
He did not pause for a moment as his eyes swept over her in a grim and gloomy way. Then he got up and began to search around, and found Raine in a pile of fallen leaves.
She was not as lucky as the other two, but she was lucky enough to not to fall straight into the rocks and die. The leaves underneath her were thick enough to cushion her fall.
But her cheeks were slashed by branches growing from the cliff. The left side of her face was fine, but the right side of her face was scratched so badly that i t was almost unrecognizable, and there was blood on i t.
Mark stared at Baine, his heart aching like the crisscross of wounds across her cheek.
He picked Baine up, lovingly and carefully, and he noticed that there was a cave beside him. He made a fire and put Baine there.
It was raining so hard that they could not walk. The road from here to the exit has not been fixed yet, so it was impossible to walk that path. Moreover, Baine was not in a good position to move around.
When Summer woke up, she found herself in a cave, with a fire burning and jumping in front of her. She was still alive!
