Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 235

The pain spread from her palm as the iron buckle’s sharp edges cut her hand and they were digging deeper into her flesh.

Nell looked slightly paler but she clenched her teeth and tried her best to ignore the fact.

After she had swung herself for almost 20 times, her foot could finally touch the rock on the other side. She seized the chance and moved her body closer to the cliff so that she could stand on her feet.

It should be a difficult movement that was highly difficult for a normal person but not to her.

Luckily, she had spent a long time abroad practicing martial arts, so even though her stamina was not as good, her skills and techniques were still there which allowed her to pull through the difficult act.

After she found her ground, she sized up the terrain and realized something fortunate. The cliff might be steep but there were many bulging stones and grass all over the surface. In this case, climbing up should not be that difficult.

The only question remaining was what was waiting for her up there?

She did not want to spend all her strength climbing up the cliff, only to be welcomed by Celine and her men. They would definitely take her back to the basement.

If it really happened, all her efforts would be wasted.

With that in mind, she looked at her bleeding hands. The loss of blood had made her body cold and her wrists were already numb from all the pain.

Fortunately, maybe because she knew she was in a dangerous situation, her consciousness was extremely clear and tense. The bleeding did not make her feel dizzy, or at least not yet.

So, she clenched her teeth as she tore a piece of cloth off her dress and simply wrapped it over her hands.

However, maybe due to the deep cut and her still-bleeding hands, the dizziness started to kick in.

She knew it was a sign of excessive loss of blood, so she took a deep breath and bit her tongue to keep herself awake.

She then started to climb up the cliff.

Even if Celine and her men were waiting for her up there, she decided to take the shot.

If she was lucky, she would survive; if she was unlucky, all she could do was accept her fate.

The thought cleared up her hesitation and she started to climb up.

Since her hands were badly injured, she should not have been able to climb a steep cliff

Yet she did not have a choice. If she stayed, she would be waiting for her death.

Fortunately, the cliff was only a dozen meters in height.

She could make it if she held on long enough.

Nell tried her best in climbing but after a while, her forehead was covered in sweat, not because of the heat but because of the pain.

Her hands were extremely painful!

Though no matter how painful they were, she dared not stop.

She knew if she stopped, she might not have the courage or the strength to continue climbing.

At this moment, she had to be calm and rational but her consciousness was fading.

Despite wrapping her hands with a piece of her dress, the climbing made her wounds bleed again.

Not long after, the blood dyed the cloth red and started to trickle down her arms.

For a moment there, her sight turned dark, as though she would pass out at any moment. Yet again, she bit her tongue and forced herself to stay awake.

‘Hold on! I’m almost there! I’m almost there! I will make it!’

She cheered for herself in her heart and it was then she heard a noise at the top.

“Mr. Leith, there are two rows of tire tracks here and they seem fresh.”

“Search the place!”

“Yes sir!”

A spark of hope was ignited in Nell’s eyes as she looked up in excitement.

‘It’s Gideon! He’s here for me!’

Gideon gave them the rope and bellowed, “Hold this! When I tell you guys to pull, PULL!”

“Yes, sir!”

The men were actually his bodyguards which his family had trained since they were young, and they lacked everything but strength.

With that, Gideon went down with the rope tied around his waist.

He was as quick as a nimble monkey as he descended the steep cliff, and moments later, he arrived at where Nell was hanging.

He then got a clear look at how badly hurt she was, especially the bleeding arms. The painful scene stung his heart. It was as if a giant hand was squeezing him and he could not breathe properly.

Nell was already exhausted from the hanging, it was her will that kept her holding on to the cliff. When she saw him, the last bit of her willpower started to crumble.

Just by calling his name, her legs had turned to jelly and she started to fall.

Yet fortunately, her man’s strong arm reached out to her and grabbed her by the waist. Gideon quickly pulled her into his arms.

He looked tensed when he got her, it was not clear as to whether he was angry or happy, whereas Nell was calm as she leaned on his strong chest.

“Can you hold on for another minute?” he asked softly.

Nell nodded.

Gideon tied the rope around her waist and tied a smart knot to steady her body. Before anything, he grabbed her single-handedly and shouted, “PULL!”

The rope started to move.

He let her clung onto his neck and he started to climb up the cliff swiftly.

Nell would never have thought that a man could climb up a steep cliff this fast with only one arm, two legs, and a person clung onto his neck.

She held on to his neck tightly while her legs were swung about in the tight space between his legs, like a dead octopus’ tentacles.

Her man’s strong chin was right in front of her eyes and the refreshing fragrant from his body was a heavenly scent to her nose.
