This place in the western suburbs is rather remote, with nature's mountains and waters preserved more completely than other places.
The developers created this resort, keeping the integrity of the scenery, and utilized it to develop quite a number of projects.
Chloe Grant and Matthew Morgan arrived at the bungee jumping site under the guidance of the staff.
Standing on the safety bridge in the middle of the mountain, the staff were preparing the safety measures for Chloe Grant and Matthew Morgan.
When Chloe Grant looked down, she could see the most pristine state of mountains and water below.
In the center of the thin, green, and translucent lake, there were staff rafting a small boat, along with lifeboats, indicating well-prepared safety measures.
It seemed quite high at first glance, and Chloe Grant felt a bit nervous but also excited.
"It's ready, prepare to go." After the staff finished putting the safety harness on Chloe Grant, they stood up.
But as the words left his mouth, instead of preparing Chloe, the staff member stood up and directly kicked Chloe Grant off.
Chloe Grant was completely unprepared and started screaming, "Ah...!"
The screams expressed fear, but also a sense of release, as Chloe felt the wind brushing past her face and the chill of the seawater rushing up toward her.
She felt a lot more comfortable.
"Click!" A sound seemed to come from beside her ear, but Chloe Grant couldn't focus on it.
On the safety bridge, a staff member suddenly exclaimed, "The safety harness is loose..."
As he shouted, Matthew Morgan, who had just secured his own harness, jumped down to chase Chloe Grant.
"Quick, the lifeboat!" The people on the bridge immediately yelled into the earpiece.
Chloe Grant, falling downward, also felt like something was wrong, paralyzed with fear.
Her head pointed toward the bottom.
Suddenly this thought surged in Chloe Grant's mind. In the next second, her whole body was caught by someone, her face bumping into an embrace.
She felt enveloped in the arms, held tightly, as a voice whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid."
The two, clinging to each other, were pulled onto the boat by the staff below, who quickly and steadily unfastened their safety harnesses.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite all these events, it actually all happened within just a few minutes.
In those minutes, a life could have been lost at any moment.
And these two people are from the Morgan family; if anything went wrong, nobody here would have an easy time.
The two who fell were now lying on the boat, with Matthew Morgan underneath and Chloe Grant on top of him.
Because of this position, all the force was absorbed by Matthew Morgan, leaving Chloe Grant unscathed, though still pale from shock.
She lay in Matthew Morgan's arms, struggling to regain her senses.
Bungee jumping—once an accident happens, it's disastrous.
"Chloe?" Matthew Morgan, holding Chloe Grant, sat up. The boat, still unsteady from the sudden impact, wobbled.
Matthew Morgan pinched Chloe Grant's face and called again, "Chloe?"
Chloe Grant stared blankly for a few moments, her eyes filled with panic. After about three seconds, she suddenly burst into tears, crying out loud and sorrowfully.
Her cries were particularly heart-wrenching, loud, and full of grievance.
The people around, knowing they were safe, completely relaxed and understood Chloe Grant's tears.
They simply thought she was overwhelmed by having narrowly escaped death, a young girl who had been frightened.
Even Matthew Morgan acknowledged she was scared.
Only Chloe Grant knew that being scared was just part of it.
There was another reason for her overwhelming breakdown...
