Changing Only For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680 Holding On

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?

At that moment, Sophie couldn't hold the pain back anymore and groaned.

Even though she had an iron will, she still subconsciously grunted.

“Sophie?” Ysabelle couldn't see, so she stretched her hand toward where she thought her friend was and felt the sensation of a liquid. There's no water inside here! This must mean...

“Are you bleeding?” Horror was heard in her voice as she wondered what to do. “Where are you injured, Sophie? You...”

How did she bleed so much? Is she going to die? Why do I always drag people down with me? Remorsefully, she apologized, “I'm sorry, Sophie! If not for me, you wouldn't have ended up like this!”

“As I said, save your breath and conserve your energy.” Right after Sophie ended her sentence, she fainted.

“Sophie!” No matter what Ysabelle said next, Sophie couldn't reply to her anymore.

Meanwhile, Tristan was still directing the rescue team. Even though the sun had risen from the horizon, they still hadn't found a clue to the women's location.

“You should eat something, Mr. Tristan! The president had sent us some food,” informed Felix. He should be getting hungry after searching for the whole night.

Tristan waved his hand as he didn't have any appetite. I still haven't found leads to Sophie's and Ysabelle's whereabouts yet.

The captain of the rescue team approached them and said, “Mr. Northley, you—”

“You and your team should eat first. Continue the search after you're done,” Felix replied.

“It's not that I'm shirking from my responsibilities by saying this, but it's been almost eighteen hours, Mr. Northley! I think the chances of them surviving are close to zero!” While the captain was aware they wouldn't like what he had to say, he still had to speak the truth.

Without delay, Tristan stared at the captain with a fraught look.

Upon seeing that, the captain shut his mouth and went to eat. Well, I guess I'll have to eat and then keep going.

Moments later, Sarah called to ask about the situation. Tristan briefly answered while sounding as though it took him all his strength just to utter a word.

“It's likely Sophie and Ysabelle are never coming back, Tristan.” While Felix didn't want to give up, he was sure a delicate woman like Ysabelle would've perished by that point.

“Are you saying you're giving up?” uttered Tristan calmly, as though he was emotionless.

“I...” Felix gritted his teeth. Of course, I haven't given up yet! It's just that... This is too painful, so painful that I almost can't breathe. I've only been with her for such a short time, so why did things turn out like this?

“I don't want to hear something like that coming out of your mouth again. I will find them,” Tristan insisted. Sophie's the type of woman who's afraid of the cold. I bet she's feeling awful right now.

Upon seeing Tristan like that, Felix could only keep his spirit up.

After learning about Sophie's accident, Chanaea's president sent out their own rescue team.

He was willing to expend any resources to locate Sophie because she was an invaluable talent in Chanaea's medical industry.

Even though several factions of people were searching for the two women on the mountain, they still couldn't find the duo.

Lincoln had also learned what happened to Ysabelle in Jetroina. However, at that moment, he had an urgent matter to attend to, so he couldn't leave.

His expression was cold as ice when he thought of his daughter's demise. I only have one daughter. While I don't want her to join the entertainment industry, I can't deny she's talented, especially after I listened to her song recently. I want to praise her, let her sing, and tell her that no matter what she decides to do, I'll always support her. Well, it looks like I'll never have the chance to do so.

After calling Sarah numerous times, he still hadn't received any news about his daughter.

He was usually a tough guy, but at that moment, tears welled in his eyes.

After Nicholas told Alex about the avalanche, the latter rushed over to Jetroina. He didn't have the nerve to say a word when he saw how Nicholas was acting.

“Do you know why I've asked you to come here, Alex?” Nicholas questioned.

“To find Sophie.” That was something Alex would know even if Nicholas didn't mention it.

“I'm glad you're aware of that. Tristan's men are also searching for her, so I want you to find her before he does.” Nicholas' plan was to snatch Sophie away from Jetroina. Only then would he have the chance to enact the plan he had.

“Many other people are searching for Ms. Tanner right now, Mr. Nicholas. I'm not sure—”

In response, Nicholas glared at him. “Don't tell me those things! I only want to see the results. Anything else isn't within my scope of consideration.” I've already hired the best hypnotist in the world. Now, I just need to find Sophie. If I can take her away, she'll finally belong to me.
