Chapter 560 Man in the News

Armand glanced at the man and took over the water immediately. He opened the lid and passed it to
Theresa. He called her in a low voice, “Theresa, wake up. Have some water.”

Theresa didn’t respond at all. No matter how Armand called her or shook her body, she was still in a
coma.

The man in the camouflage uniform reminded him, “Pinch the area between her nose and upper lip.”

Armand passed the water bottle into the other hand and pinched her.

After a moment, Theresa woke up but still looked quite weak as if she would faint again. Armand put
the water next to her lips and whispered, “Drink some water.”

Theresa’s dried-out lips were creased. As soon as they parted, the skin on the surface cracked, and
blood oozed. Her throat was dried out as if it was on fire. It had burned all the water on her body.
Suddenly, she tasted the water, starting to gulp it down.

They could hear the sounds when she was gulping.

There was half bottle only, which couldn’t completely ease her thirst, but she had some energy slightly.

“We came here in groups of two. When I fell in here, my colleague was next to me, so I’m sure he will
inform others to rescue us soon. Please don’t worry,” said the man in the camouflage uniform.

Upon hearing his voice, Theresa turned around slowly, only to find another man there. Now she
understood where the water was from.

“We’ll be rescued. Hang on!” Armand said in excitement while holding her.



Theresa blinked. Her curled eyelashes slightly shook. Through the dimmed light, she could tell how
excited Armand was.

Recalling what he had said to her, she lowered down her eyelids gently.

Right then, someone was shouting at the entrance of the cave, asking if anyone was down there.

The man in the camouflage uniform stood up and looked up to speak back to the entrance. Soon, a
rope was tossed down from above. They were told to pull the rope when they were able to grab it, so
people above would know the length and stop tossing it down.

The man in the camouflage uniform was waiting there. Soon, the rope was tossed down. He looked at
Armand and said, “You guys go up first.”

Armand grabbed the shirt that he took off to put it on Theresa. After she was decent, he carried her to
the entrance. The man in the camouflage uniform grabbed the role and walked to Armand. He checked
on Theresa and said, “She’s quite weak. When they pull her up, it would be difficult for her to take care
of herself. Why don’t you go up together?”

Armand nodded in agreement.

The man tied the rope on Armand’s waist and reminded him, “Cling your back to the rock as tightly as
possible. Put her in front of you to reduce the injuries on her.”

Theresa had wounds on her feet and legs and looked quite weak. Obviously, she needed to be taken
care of. Otherwise, her condition would become worse.

Armand understood. The man in the camouflage uniform pulled the rope to notice people above that
they were ready.



There were only three people above. When they were pulling, they felt that there must be more than
one person on the rope, so they called another two over to pull them up together.

Armand’s upper body was naked. When his back was rubbing against the rock, he heard the slight
sounds. He was fine in the beginning. However, when it lasted long, he felt the burning pain from his
back.

He just creased his brows slightly and didn’t pay much attention. All he wanted was to go up and send
Theresa to the hospital as soon as possible.

After a while, the people above saw them. They moved the rope to the middle so that Armand’s back
wouldn’t rub against the rock again. Boyce watched them be pulled up. When arriving at the entrance,
he bent over to take Theresa from Armand’s arms. “Let me take care of her.”

Armand looked up at him. In silence, he passed Theresa to Boyce.

With others’ help, Armand came up from the entrance of the cave. On the ground, he untied the rope in
a hurry. The team leader said, “Let me do it. You can’t do it.”

They had special ways to tie the rope, so ordinary people couldn’t untie it. The knot was quite unique.

Armand urged him anxiously, “Please hurry.”

The leader didn’t speak. He only showed Armand how fast it would be by his practical action. After the
rope was untied, Armand went to Boyce and reached out. “Give her to me.”

Boyce cast him a glance, only to find that he was weak as well. There was a certain distance from
there to the car, so he was afraid that Armand wouldn’t make it when carrying Theresa in his arms.

“I can do it.” Armand knew what Boyce was hesitating about.



Since he said so, Boyce couldn’t insist. Right now, Armand must perform well in Theresa’s presence.
While Boyce was about to hand Theresa back to Armand, she said in a weak tone, “Could you please
carry me out?”

She looked at Boyce.

Boyce checked on Armand immediately. When he offered to carry Theresa earlier at the entrance of
the cave, it was because Theresa couldn’t lie on the ground and Armand must need someone else to
help him carry her.

Right then, Theresa wasn’t willing to let Armand carry her. Boyce was afraid that Armand would
misunderstand.

Armand pressed his lips in silence.

“Could you?” Theresa asked again while looking at Boyce.

She was too weak to leave on her own, so she had to rely on someone else.

When they were pulled up, she could feel that Armand must be injured. She didn’t want to owe him any
favor, although he had confessed his love to her earlier. She never thought about getting reconciled
with him.

For her, the bygones were just bygones.

Moreover, her health...

“Mr. Shawn, if you are unwilling, please put me down. I’ll go by myself,” said Theresa stubbornly.

“Go ahead and carry her out,” Armand said before Boyce answered.



Boyce pressed his lips and took a look at Armand, knowing that Armand didn’t want to piss off Theresa.
After all, they were both injured. Boyce didn’t want to waste any time. He said to the team leader, “I’ll
leave everything here to you.”

After that, he carried Theresa, heading back.

Armand was afraid that there would be branches in the way, so it would be difficult for Boyce to move
forward. He took the initiative to walk in front and brushed the branches away for them.

Theresa leaned against Boyce’s shoulder, half-squinting. Armand was walking in front of them, so she
happened to see the wounds on his back. His back was full of friction wounds, some of which were
almost bleeding. Some of them had become purple and reddish.

She was slightly moved and felt sorry for him. However, she wasn’t so soft-hearted to get reconciled
with him.

She didn’t think that she would be with him again for the rest of her life.

She closed her eyes, stopping watching him.

It wasn’t a long way but it was difficult to walk in the forest. After almost an hour, they finally walked out
of it.

Armand recognized Boyce’s car and walked over to open the door, so Boyce could put Theresa in.

As soon as Boyce wanted to put her down, Armand said, “Give me the key. I’ll drive.”

He was afraid that Theresa would reject him, which would waste time again.

Boyce bent over and put Theresa on the backseat and handed the car key to Armand. The latter
walked to the driver’s seat with the key, pulled the door open, and sat in.



Boyce sat in the backseat, taking care of Theresa. From the back of the car seat, he pulled out two
bottles of mineral water. He handed one to Armand. “Drink some water.”

Armand didn’t look back. “Give it to Theresa, please.”

Boyce reached further. “There’s plenty of them.”

They had been trapped in the cave for a long time. He was certain that they both were thirsty.

Knowing that Armand took the bottle over. Opening the lid, he gulped the water down. In one minute,
he finished drinking the whole bottle. He tossed the empty bottle out of the car window and started the
engine.

Boyce, on the backseat, opened the lid of the bottle and gave it to Theresa. “Have some, please.”

Theresa raised her hand and took it over.

The villa.

Dolores got up late this morning. Probably she was too sleepy or she was lying by Matthew’s side, she
always slept soundly.

When she got up, Matthew had already left the villa. After breakfast, Amanda said that Cotton’s fur
became dirty, so she pulled Coral to the yard to bathe Cotton. She also asked Coral to take her to shop
for the dog food.

Coral agreed with a smile.

Dolores stood in front of the French window, watching Coral bathe the dog with two kids. She couldn’t
help curling up her lips.



She turned around and picked up her phone, wanting to call Oscar to check on him. The TV was on.
She picked up the remote control to turn it off, only to find a piece of news and unexpectedly she knew
the man in the news.
