Chapter 223 Bet You'll Never Marry Me
"Morris, wake up. Morris?"
Vivian reached out and slapped her hand on Morris’ face, but he didn't respond in the slightest.
"Morris, wake up ...... ugh, forget it!"
After she failed to wake up Morris, Vivian raised her hand, nearly smacking him in the face, but couldn't
bear to do it.
Just as Vivian was in a quandary, she noticed a vessel placed on the table, filled with water.
Vivian knew the bowl of water must be drinkable, otherwise Morris wouldn't have put it in this location.
Vivian who was thirsty now only wanted to drink water.
She picked up the water, looked at the clarity of the water, smelled it, and she drank the bowl of water
straight down after finding that it had no odor.
It was as if a thirsty plant in the desert met water and instantly came to life.
Vivian only felt energized after drinking the water.
As she prepared to set the bowl down, she suddenly realized a problem.
Water?
Where did this water come from?
Could there be water connected to an exit?
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Vivian was in an extremely good mood, and she put down the bowl and
rushed outside.
But after she had just taken a few steps, she thought about the sleeping Morris, afraid that he was not
be able to find her after he woke up.
Then she suddenly thought of the phone.
She turned her phone on and edited a message, [I'm going out to find an exit, wait for me.].
After editing a message, Vivian set her phone to a password-free state and placed it directly in Morris'
hand.
Then she took Morris’ phone away.
His phone was useless, and after they found the lantern, both of them had basically set their phones to
turn off, keeping the charge intact.
And Morris’ phone is a purely private, custom-made triple defense phone that cost several hundred
thousand.
Anti-theft, waterproof and drop-proof.
Vivian took his phone and left, looking around and managing to find an underground river.
She left her mark as she walked, lighting all the lamps that along the underground river, then stood at
the end of it and noticed that the water kept flowing outward.
Vivian was overjoyed in her heart, knowing that that side must be the exit.
Only what was really going on out there wasn’t unknown to her yet.
Hesitantly, Vivian still gathered enough courage to take off her clothes and prepared to dive to see if
there was an exit inside or not.
She was in a gown and couldn't dive at all, so she had to take her clothes off.
However, just as she was clutching her cell phone and turning on the flashlight to jump into the water, a
voice suddenly rang out behind her, "Vivian!"
The abrupt voice, echoing in the empty, deserted dungeon, scared her in that moment.
Once she turned around, she saw Morris standing not far away, walking towards her.
Vivian was dressed in her underwear, despite being shy, but the situation was dire at the moment, and
she didn't bother to think about anything else, "Why did you come over?"
Morris raised his phone, a light smile tinting his haggard face, "I saw the message you sent me and
knew you'd be here."
"Right. I saw the bowl of water you left in the room, so I knew there was a dark river nearby, and found
my way here. You see, the water was flowing, which means there must be an exit, and I wanted to dive
down and see."
Excitedly, she told Morris about her little discovery.
That look was like a child who had discovered a shocking little secret.
"You're smart."
Morris walked over to her and stood by the dark river, gazing at the flowing water, and said, "I had
found this last night while you were asleep, and was sure there was an exit. But it's two hundred
meters from the exit, and you can't get out at all."
The man's eyes tinged with some tenderness, his pale lips flicking open as he added, "The reason I
didn't leave was because I wanted to wait for you to wake up and talk to you about the situation before
I went out to call someone."
Morris spoke, "The water’s ends at a cliff, and above it is a cave over twenty meters high, and it will
take some time to climb up. Also, there's no cell phone signal down there."
"200 meters?"
A two hundred meter swim takes one to two minutes for a professional athlete, and five or six minutes
for a non-professional and extremely good waterman.
Where they were standing was the entrance to the current leading to the undercurrent, which meant
that there was no way to breathe after diving underwater, only to hold their breath.
With his wound now infected and his hand injured, Morris was having an extremely difficult time getting
him to swim to the end and climb to the top of the twenty meter hole.
"Even if you get out there, you can't make it up there with your hand badly injured."
Vivian was worried about Morris’ situation.
"You don’t believe me?"
Morris raised his eyebrows and curled his lips into a smile.
The smile was quite warm.
He hadn't shaved in two days and had developed some scruff on his chin, which added a bit of mature
sexiness and charm.
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just don't want you to risk yourself. By the time you die, I might die
here too."
Faced with the grimness of reality, Vivian was in no mood to joke.
Although the fact that Morris had managed to swim to the end last night was enough to show that he ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
had excellent stamina and endurance, it was also highly likely that it was the extreme physical exertion
last night that had accelerated the infection of his wounds and caused his high fever to go away today.
Once a person has a high fever, the body temperature drops so rapidly in all areas that it simply cannot
be compared to a normal state.
"Vivian, you ......"
"Cut the crap, let's get together." Vivian interrupted Morris and said, "There's a reservoir right in front of
my house, and I grew up with my master when I was a kid, so I'm very good at swimming."
"No!"
"You don’t believe me?"
"It is not a joke." Morris deeply felt Vivian's bravery and intelligence, yet his heart ached for such a little
girl.
He's a man and should rightly be at the front of the pack.
"Bullshit, do I joke with you!"
Vivian blushed and reached out to poke him in the chest, "Morris, let's make a bet, what if I can
successfully swim across the dark river?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Uh ...... If I can successfully swim there, you stay away from me and stop bullshitting me about liking
me. I don't like you!"
Morris: ......
The damn woman was taking her life to reject him?
Morris suddenly felt an insult from Vivian.
Over the years, countless women have thrown themselves at him, but Vivian is the only one who is
very repulsive to him, not only disliking him, but avoiding him.
"What's the matter? You dare not take the bet?" Vivian shook her head disdainfully.
The provoked man had absolutely no way to refuse.
He hesitated, knowing that even if he didn't let Vivian enter the dark river with him, she would definitely
follow him quietly after he dived into the water.
So, he would rather take her dive with him and get out.
