I Only Want You novel Chapter 153

Hearing that, Elizabeth couldn't help but pause. She widened her tearful eyes and listened quietly. She was afraid that she would miss any chance to be saved.

After listening for a while, there was no sound around except for the barking of dogs and the chirping of insects.

The little joy that had risen before gradually turned into disappointment. It turned out that she had an illusion because she was too anxious to be found by James or someone else.

Suddenly, the wind blew, rustling the leaves.

Listening to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, Elizabeth felt as if it was the sound of a snake moving through the grass. She was both lost and scared, so the slightest sound made her feel very nervous. Her throat tightened and her heart beat faster.

Although she was afraid, her mind was clear. She knew that it was not a good idea to keep waiting like this. She couldn't make a sound now. If James and the others were looking for her, it would be hard to find her even from a short distance in such a dark night. Moreover, it was getting more and more late...

Trying hard to hold back the panic in her heart, she wiped the sweat and tears on her face and warned herself not to cry again. When she finally stopped crying, she put her hand on her waist that had been hit and tried to take a deep breath.

Her muscles were pulled and she frowned tightly in pain. She didn't care and tried to shout-

"Ah-"

The slight sound revealed a trace of pain, but she still couldn't help but feel happy and excited.

Then she shouted out for the second time and the third time...

The sound was getting louder and louder. She happily leaned against the trunk and raised her head to laugh. It was so good. This would only take a little longer and she would be able to make louder sounds.

At that time, if James and others came to find her, she would no longer have to worry that she would miss them because she could not make a sound!

She turned her head to look at the light at the foot of the mountain. She thought that if she waited a little longer and James still didn't come, then she'd shout for help toward the residents at the foot of the mountain. She had a chance to get out today anyway.

While she was thinking in her mind, she heard another voice—

"Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth looked around. Because of the auditory hallucination just now, she could only hold her voice and listen to it, trying to make sure that she had heard it wrong again.

About a minute later, she heard the voice again, louder and clearer than the last time.

This time, she heard clearly that it was James who was shouting at her. "Elizabeth..."

With his voice, she seemed to hear the footsteps.

She had always known that his voice was as attractive as that of a radio host. But it was the first time she'd ever been nervous and excited for hearing his voice. It was like sunlight suddenly shining into the night, which instantly made her filled with hope and love for the whole world.

He really came to find her!

When she thought about it, she suddenly burst into tears again, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She finally felt relieved.

Her hand against her waist increased its strength. Following the direction of the voice, she endured the pain and tried her best to respond to him—

"James! I am here..."

She heard the footsteps seem to pause for a while. Then, it was faster and louder than before.

Elizabeth looked unblinkingly in the direction of the sound. Then she saw a faint light spreading through the bushes. She knew it was the light from his phone.

The light was growing brighter and closer to her. He was getting closer to her as well.

She first saw the shaking shadow that was a little blurry under the light, and then she really saw him.

When it was confirmed that he had come to her, she cried even harder. Her heart was filled with emotion and joy. He was probably the only one in the world who would never abandon her like this.

He'd treated her like this before. But this time, it was probably because of her current mood and the circumstances she was in. She felt as if she had the whole world when he came to her from the darkness with the light once again.

He's from a good family and should rarely walk this kind of road. And since there were weeds everywhere, he stumbled and seemed to have a hard time walking. But he didn't let that slow him down.

When he was about a hundred meters away from her, he suddenly slipped and fell straight down.

She heard him crawl up immediately after an angry curse. Then he continued to walk quickly towards her.

James at first just inferred her location roughly by the direction of her voice. But there were too many trees here now, and he couldn't determine exactly where she was. So he could only shout again, "Elizabeth, where are you?!"

Elizabeth wiped the tears on her face and endured the pain in her throat. Even though she knew that he couldn't see it, she still waved at him. "James, I'm here!"

Two minutes later, when James saw Elizabeth who was sitting on the ground in a mess by the light from his phone's flashlight, he suddenly widened his eyes. He felt so depressed and uncomfortable.

She sat there holding her legs, and her thin body huddled. She was crying, and her face seemed to be scratched by something. It wasn't a big wound, but it still looked a little shocking. Her arms and legs were also scratched...

Looking at her like this, his heart seemed to be grabbed by something. He felt that even breathing became a little difficult.
