Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 386

“What do you mean by that?” Soren asked.

Evangeline briefly explained their situation—how they’d survived and the conditions on the mountain.

When she was done, she asked, “What about you? What’s the status of the rescue effort?”

Throughout the conversation, Evangeline’s tone was calm and composed.

She spoke of life and death as if it were a trivial matter, like forgetting to prepare dinner.

For a moment, Soren wondered if she was deliberately trying to scare him.

The woman who had once cried a river of tears just from being kicked out of the Whitmore family, who would burst into tears at the slightest criticism from him or the Fawkes family—could she really be this composed when discussing matters of life and death?

Soren was momentarily stunned.

The Evangeline before him was so familiar, yet somehow, a complete stranger.

Soren didn’t answer, and Evangeline didn’t press him.

She had likely already guessed the truth. If the rescue were simple, they wouldn’t have been waiting this long. And the fact that the person who finally arrived was Soren—the last person who would ever engage in a personal rescue—spoke volumes about the difficulty of the operation.

Meanwhile, on the clifftop, Glenn waited until the early hours of the morning. When Soren didn’t return, he knew something was wrong.

The rock face was still slick from the recent rain. Glenn sent a team of professionals to rappel down. They found Soren’s first-aid kit, and a few meters below that, signs of a slip and fall.

But the terrain further down made rescue operations significantly more difficult, even life-threatening for the rescuers themselves.

With no other choice, the team had to turn back.

“The pack was placed carefully on a steep slope. The scuff marks look like he suddenly lost his footing, but there are signs of a struggle…”

Listening to their detailed description, Glenn began to form a theory.

Soren must have found something Evangeline had left behind.
