The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1547 A Trap

“Okay. Then wait here for me. I’ll go there right now.”

“No, no. Duncan, you need to bring me along. I want to look for Ian. I won’t be able to be at ease if I

don’t see him.” Vivian wanted to go with him. She was not going to wait there alone anymore.

Vivian insisted on following along, probably because she had been terror-stricken earlier when two

people suddenly disappeared from her side before her eyes.

Seeing her being so insistent, Duncan had no choice but to agree.

Although he agreed, it was still a dangerous move, since the water would get deeper as it approached

the cliff. Things would have been easier if Duncan went alone. But now, he had to bring along another

person.

Duncan said, “Vivi, if you want to come along, then you must keep close to me.”

Vivian promised, “Okay. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely follow closely behind you.”

She could not be bothered to think so much as she was anxious to look for her brother. As soon as she

said that, she immediately wrapped her slender arms around Duncan’s.

Duncan was stunned, and his face flushed red.

“N-No. Not my arm. Take my waist. I need my arms to swim and bring you over,” he stammered.

Vivian was at a loss for words.

This time, she felt slightly uncomfortable.

She was, after all, a sixteen-year-old girl. Naturally, she knew that she should not have intimate

physical interaction with a stranger or a person of the opposite sex. Hence, she released her grip on his

arm, unwilling to accept his suggestion.

“I’ll just swim there on my own then.” With that, she got ready to swim over.

Duncan, who was still in the water, had a look of disappointment on his face.

Actually, he did not have any ill intentions. In fact, he had mustered up a lot of courage to utter those

words.

Sadly, Vivian rejected him without giving it a thought. The fact that she rather swam there on her own

instead of letting him bring her over upset him.

In the end, Duncan found a stick for her to hold on to before they started swimming over.

When they finally arrived at the bottom of the hole’s entrance, they got ready to climb upward.

However, Vivian had always lived a comfortable life. Thus, it was impossible for her to climb up such a

high place on her own.

Hence, she still let Duncan push her up.

Although the drenched girl was dressed in sports attire, having to sit on top of Duncan and let him push

her upward was still a very intimate action.

Nonetheless, Vivian did not bother about it this time, as she was anxious to look for Ian.

This made Duncan feel a little better.

Soon, both of them climbed into the hole.

True to Duncan’s expectations, there were traces of another person slipping down the hole apart from

his trail a while ago. “Look. This must be the trail where your brother slipped.”

Seeing that, Vivian got so excited that tears brimmed in her eyes. She began shouting, “Ian!”

However, there was no answer.

When Duncan fell into this hole, he came out from the waters. Ian, on the other hand, could not be

seen in the water. Both of them wondered where he had gone.

At that thought, Duncan decided to go in and take a look.

Of course, Vivian followed along.

Being a timid person, she did not dare to struggle anymore as soon as she entered, and she let

Duncan grip her hand tightly all the way.

Once they turned on the flashlights on their smartphones, they noticed the place was overgrown with

weeds. Apart from the crack where Duncan fell through, they could even hear the sound of water

flowing beneath them.

On the other side was another trail that led down a slope.

“What’s that place? Could Ian have fallen down there?”

“It’s possible. Why don’t you wait up there? I’ll go in and take a look first. If anything happens, I’ll let you

know, okay?” Seeing the hole was extremely dark and cold, Duncan did not have the heart to let Vivian

follow him. He wanted to scout the area first in case there was anything dangerous.

Vivian understood his words.

After taking a good look at the place and giving it some thought, she agreed, “Okay. Give me a shout

five minutes after you’ve entered,” she requested.

As soon as she finished speaking, Duncan, who was getting ready to go in, looked at her in

amazement.

He was surprised that she would make such a request. Five minutes was not too long, yet it was not

too short. In fact, it was just enough to scout the area.

If there were any dangers, he could still withdraw after five minutes.

And if there were no problems, he could tell her to follow him after that.

Duncan studied the girl silently for some time before heading in with his smartphone. He felt as though

he needed to get to know her again, thinking perhaps she was smarter than he thought. It was just that

she had been well-protected by her two brothers, so she did not have the chance to use her wits.

As Duncan walked into the darkness, Vivian waited outside in silence.

What Duncan considered earlier was exactly her thoughts.

Moreover, she also figured that if the place was dangerous, something would happen to both of them if

she went along as well.

If that happened, no one would be able to call for help.

Hence, Vivian waited patiently with her fists clenched.

Luckily, five minutes later, a familiar voice could be heard from the inside. “Vivi, it’s fine. You can come

down now.”

“Okay!” Vivian’s eyes lit up. She quickly rose from the ground and entered the hole.
