His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2728

"Let's search for a place to brace for impact!" Eric had acted in movies which had scenes similar to the situation they were in, and

he knew the basics of what to do in an avalanche. "If we can't run, we need to wait for rescue toe."

There was no way to predict natural disasters, and though the screaming had not ceased, Layla felt much more at ease.

In the worst-case scenario, she would die with Eric. Her parents had other children, and they would not need to mourn for long over

them.

The only regret she felt was that she had asked Eric toe to Cambrode. Had she not done it, he would have nevere, and he

would not be in this disaster.

"I'm so sorry, Eric." Layla could not see how they would make it out of this alive, and she had to say what was on her mind while

she still could. "I shouldn't have asked you toe here. | put you in this situation."

"It's not your fault, Layla! We aren't the only people here; no one can predict something like this! Don't feel guilty! Don't cry! Just

watch where you are going ande down." Eric had already gone down the slope.

She held her tears back and slowly slid down while holding his hand.

"Let's hide here!" He pointed at a corner. "That pointed rock should shield us from the impact. Get under now."

Layla turned to look at it and noticed that there was only enough space for one person.

"There's no tto hesitate!" The avalanche was pressing down on them, and he spotted people jumping off the mountain.

The people who climbed up to take better photos were instantly swallowed by the snow, and despair overwhelmed him, taking his

breath away.

He instinctively took off his jacket and she was stunned. "Eric, what do you think you are doing?!"

Eric walked closer to her and wrapped the jacket around her.

Layla immediately started to fight him as soon as she realized what he was trying to do. "Eric Santos! We are either going to die

together, or live together!"

"Layla, | can do whatever you want, but you have to listen tofor once this time!" He immediately zipped the jacket up and

carried her to the corner.

"I hate you, Eric! You better pray that we die together here, or | will hate you for life!"

Layla waspletely pinned down and powerless when he pushed her into the safe corner that could protect her from the snow.

Instantly, they were staring at each other in the eyes, feeling their breath on one another's skin.

Tears rolled down her face as she struggled to speak while countless thoughts crossed her mind.

Eric adjusted his pose and held onto her hand. "Layla, don't cry. Reserve your strength and wait for the rescue. | don't think they

will get here that soon because we are too far from the bottom of the mountain. Don't cry, okay? Never give up. Your parents are

definitely going toe and save you. Don't be afraid. | am right here with you."

She wanted to obey, but could not stop her tears from falling. "... It drops to minus thirty degrees here at night. Eric, can you

survive to see another day?" She took a deep breath. "et another day. Can you even survive another hour?"

"Baam!"

Suddenly, darkness loomed over them, and all they could hear was the avalanche rumbling, and Layla heard Eric grunt in pain.
