Steven had not yet ended the call, so I could still hear Wendy’s faint voice.
“Stevie, is Yelena also trapped? Then, you should go ahead and rescue her first. I… I can wait.”
Steven’s brows furrowed even deeper. He turned away from me, and instead, asked Wendy how she was doing.
She started sobbing. “I’m in a department store at the city center. It’s pitch black here, and I think my arm is pinned down. Stevie, it really hurts…
“Am I going to die here, Stevie? I’m really scared. I don’t want to leave you when I haven’t spent enough time with you…”
Steven’s eyes immediately turned red-rimmed as he heard her heartfelt confession.
“You won’t, Wendy. I won’t let anything happen to you. I’m going over to rescue you right now!”
With that, he abandoned me and led the team over to save Wendy.
Reuben was still worried about me, so he stood in Steven’s way.
“Steven, what about Yelena? Her situation is precarious right now. What if there’s an aftershock? And she’s pregnant too—”
However, Steven only coldly interrupted him with a scoff while looking at me.
“Yelena, I’ve already checked. You’re clearly in the Triangle of Life right now, so you won’t die even if you wait for a while.
“Frankly, I think you’re doing this on purpose. You know Wendy has claustrophobia, so you’re just using your pregnancy as an excuse for me to save you first, and in turn, have her killed.
