In this life, she could no longer pay him back...
Sydney wailed.
Sorry!
Sydney silently said to Julien in her heart.
They descended very quickly. In just a few seconds, they were at the bottom of the cliff, but for Sydney, it was as long as a century.
Sydney took a deep breath, ready to accept the fact of having her body smashed to pieces.
She and Julien unexpectedly did not fall onto the hard ground but into a bottomless lake.
Flop!
The two of them smashed heavily into the lake, and the water splashed up as high as two meters.
Sydney immediately opened her eyes. The cold lake water kept flowing into her eyes, ears, and nose, making her feel very uncomfortable.
But she was excited and full of great joy.
She tore off the tape on her mouth and smiled with her mouth closed.
She didn’t die! She survived!
Originally, she had thought that she would definitely die after falling off the cliff; however, unexpectedly, the bottom of the cliff was actually a lake.
This was like Noah's Ark in a hopeless
situation.
Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to escape death.
Sydney was so happy that she was about to cry. Just as she was about to bite the rope off her hand, she suddenly thought of something, and the excitement and ecstasy in her heart immediately faded.
Where was Julien?
Sydney's face changed.
Just when she and Julien fell into the lake, Julien loosened his hand that held her.
Maybe he was just nearby at this time.
As she was thinking, Sydney looked around but did not see Julien.
She could not help but frown.
Strangely, she could not see him.
Had he already swum ashore?
This was possible.
Thinking of this, Sydney sighed with relief. That was good.
She also had to find a way to save herself.
Sydney lowered her head, bit the rope, and started to untie herself.
This process was extraordinarily difficult for Sydney because she could only stay in the water without breathing for a limited period of time. A normal person who had accepted professional swimming training could almost stay in the water without breathing for two minutes.
So she had to untie the rope and come to the surface of the water to breathe within two minutes; otherwise, she would drown.
Fortunately, when Burtons' people tied her, the knots were not very complicated. Sydney tried her best to untie the rope while preventing the water from flowing into her throat.
In the end, she successfully untied the rope on her wrist.
Without delay, Sydney immediately untied the rope on her feet.
With the help of her hands, the ropes on her feet were untied in less than twenty seconds.
She should thank Burton's people for not tying her up with hemp rope; otherwise, the hemp rope would have swollen after meeting water and become tighter and tighter. It would have been impossible for her to untie the rope within two minutes.
After her arms and legs were free, Sydney was delighted and then immediately moved her arms and feet to swim upward.
A few seconds later, she emerged from the water and then took a big gulp of air, "Hoo...
She was finally alive.
Sydney shed tears of joy and shouted to the shore. "Julien, are you there?"
There was no response from the shore.
Sydney's smile disappeared. She turned around in the water and glanced at the shore, without seeing Julien.
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
