Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1140

I fell again this time, and despair filled my heart.

"How are you guys doing? Can you come u p?" Nina's worried voice came from above.

Theo shouted, "The soil is too soft. Throw some thicker branches down here."

Later, his gaze fell on my face. He said with determination, "Don't worry, I won’t leave you here."

I froze. I did not know how to explain this feeling.

A lot of branches were thrown down from above. Theo broke all of them and stuck them into the loose earth wall.

My eyes lit up. After figuring out what he was trying to do, I quickly broke the branches with him.

Theo bent down to search for stones in the dirt. Then, he knocked each branch into the earth wall very firmly.

After inserting the ones at the bottom, he climbed upward while continuing to insert branches into the earth wall.

Our distance grew farther apart and I could not hand him short branches anymore. I could only hand him a whole branch, which he broke and knocked into the earth wall.

After the ones on top learned about his techniques, they stopped throwing whole branches. They broke them and put them into a bag before lowering it with a rope.

Everyone worked together, which sped things up considerably.

Theo lowered his head to look at me and said indifferently, "Try climbing up."

I nodded. "Okay."

It was not that difficult anymore when there was a place for the feet to land on.

Although I had never learned rock climbing, I was able to climb up by relying o n survival instincts.
