Chapter 559 Armand’s Confession

However, there was no water in the cave. Besides the rocks, there were only dried branches and
leaves.

If they couldn’t get out and she kept being on fever, Armand couldn’t imagine what would happen.

If they just sat and wait to be saved, they would have to wait for a long time. Theresa couldn’t continue
waiting upon her current status. He put her down gently, walked to the entrance, and looked up. The
entrance wasn’t straight from the ground above, so he couldn’t see anything above at all. All the light
came in through that narrow crack.

Looking at Theresa who was lying next to him, he whispered, “I’ll definitely help you out of here.”

He didn’t fear death, but he couldn’t let Theresa die.

He took off his shirt and shoes. Clinging his skin to the rock would increase the drag force, which would
help him to climb. Since the entrance was broad flat, he estimated the distance. Then he turned his
body aside, supported himself with his legs against the rocks on both sides, and started climbing up.

However, when he started moving practically, he found the distance between the two rock walls was
not the same. The higher he climbed up, the wider the gap was. His legs couldn’t be opened up so
widely in the end. Even if he could move to the side, he couldn’t keep climbing up.

He hadn’t eaten for a whole day and night, so he was a bit weak now. His body suddenly lost some
strength, and he slid down again. However, he didn’t give up. He tried again and again but fell all the
time.

In a daze, Theresa faintly saw a figure climbing up to the entrance of the cave. He went up and fell,
again and again. She tried to remind him not to waste his energy, but she was too weak.



When she was locked up, she was afraid that the food and water were with some drug, so she dared
not to eat at all. Now she was on fever, so she was way too weak.

She wanted to stop him but couldn’t speak out at all.

Armand’s strength became less and less after he fell again and again. In the end, he was too worn out,
looking up in despair.

It was alright if he would die, but what should Theresa do?

She escaped from death last time, changed her appearance and voice, and tried her best to survive.
Would she die here?

Probably sweats or tears dropping from the corners of his eyes.

He wondered what he should do.

He turned around and looked at Theresa, who was half squinting. Her eyes were blurred, so she
couldn’t see Armand’s expression clearly. Instead, she could only see his outline.

She saw that figure crawling to her. He reached out to brushed the hair on her forehead and said
hoarsely, “I’m not afraid of death at all. I feel good when dying with you together. At least, we can be
together, but I can’t let you die.”

Theresa looked at him, seeing that he shed tears and wept like a baby.

“I’ve never told you about my parents. It’s not because I don’t trust you or I don’t love you. It’s
because... whenever I recalled it, I would have a nightmare for a long time, but right now, I want to tell
you. I’m afraid in the future I wouldn’t have the chance to have the nightmare at all. I’m afraid I would
have no chance to confess my love to you.”



He wiped his face. “I can’t remember how old I was at that time. Probably I deliberately try to ignore the
things that happened in my childhood, so I forgot anything about myself.

“My mother cheated on my father. I saw her take a man home and have sex with him in the bedroom
belonged to her and my father...”

Armand lowered his head. Theresa couldn’t see his expression, but she could feel his helplessness
and hatred at that time.

Probably he was helpless because that woman was his mother. He hated her for being so shameless.

Armand had never mentioned this history to anyone, and even Boyce and Matthew didn’t know about
it.

They only knew that his grandmother had brought him up.

His parents passed away when he was little.

“I’ve witnessed that several times. That kind of thing lasted for half a year. I hate it because I have such
a mother, but I couldn’t choose from which woman’s belly I should be born. Her affair would be found
by others sooner or later, but I never expected that day would come so fast. It happened so fast that I
was off-guard and it turned my life upside down.

“I knew it after the incident -- my father’s business trip was canceled by the company within a short
notice, so he went back home earlier than planned. He found my mother’s affair, caught her adultery
with the man on the bed. He must be enraged at that time, so he used the knife... He killed them.

“When I went home from school, I saw him point his neck with the knife. Looking at me, he burst into
tears and apologized...



“I saw him committed suicide in my presence. He was quite impulsive and hurt seriously when he killed
them. When his reason came back, he regretted it, but it was too late.

“I’ve only told Phoebe Lewis about this history before. At that time, I truly liked her. Later, she
determinedly left me. It had been ten years before I could let go of her. I had thought I could let go, but
my love to her had turned to reluctance already. I wasn’t still in love with her at that time. I was just
reluctant that she had left me without saying farewell.

“When I met her again, I even didn’t have the reluctance in those ten years. I used to imagine what I
would ask her when meeting her again. I would also scold her for being irresponsible. However, I didn’t.
It was because I lost the reluctance after meeting you.

“I felt so happy and relaxed when being with you. Once I had the impulse to tell you about my past, but
I was afraid that you would disdain me. I was so afraid to show you my miserable past. Back then, I
thought it was because Phoebe Lewis disdained my past, she left without even saying goodbye.
Hence, I was afraid you would leave me as well. I dared not

“Actually, I don’t regret sharing my past with you. My world is way too dark.”

He was telling her about it right now because he thought that he would probably die here. Before dying,
he wanted to confess his love to her.

Theresa blacked out. She missed what he said next.

Armand held her while she was in a coma. He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. With a
smile, he said, “God treats me well, right? You don’t want to forgive me, but we’ll die together.”

“Bang!”



A sound came from the entrance of the cave. Then something was rubbing against the rock. Soon, a
man fell into the cave.

Armand watched the man in the camouflage uniform fall next to him from above.

He was taken aback for a second, and he reacted the next second as if he had found the life-saving
straw.

“Are you here to look for us?” he asked excitedly.

The man covered his waist and turned around. He nodded and said, “Yeah. We are here searching for
two persons. Are you Armand Bernie?”

Armand said yes in excitement. “I’m Armand Bernie. Please hurry up. She’s on a high fever and in a
coma now. She needs to be sent to the hospital right away.”

The man in the camouflage uniform took a glance at the cave and said calmly, “Don’t worry. My
colleague will inform others to rescue us.”

“She has fainted now. How could I keep calm?” Armand growled.

The man shrank a bit, wondering why Armand was so short-tempered.

He asked calmly, “Can we climb up from here?”

Armand glared at him. “If I could, why would I be waiting for others to save us?”

“Then that’s it. We couldn’t climb up so we must wait for others to save us. What can I do if you keep
urging me?” The man pulled out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Armand. “Feed her with
some water. My colleague should call someone to save us soon.”
