Three Years Wasted I Married Mr. Right novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

As for this boy, Sophia was the one who personally dug him out of the rubble, saving him with her own hands.

It was the fourth day since they’d joined the emergency rescue, and the operation had reached a fever pitch For the kids still trapped underground, this was the critical turning point—the last chance for survival.

deeper they dug, the fewer survivors they found. Everyone was beyond exhausted, teetering on the edge of despair.

Whenever they pulled out a child with no sign of life, some volunteers just had a complete emotional breakdown.

In the face of a natural disaster, human lives seemed nothing but fragile and insignificant.

By the fifth day, the smell from the ruins was getting unbearable, and the rescue team kept urging them to get

out.

But Sophia just wouldn’t back down. No way was she giving up–she stubbornly kept at it, determined to find anyone still alive.

That evening, with the sunset painting the sky red, Sophia finally managed to dig this boy out.

After everyone worked together to pull him out, he seemed miraculously fine–the bed frame had absorbed most of the impact, leaving him virtually unharmed.

The rescue team carried him off to the central medical station, and after he finally came around, Annabelle went with Sophia to check in on him.

Once he’d been cleaned up, his skin had a healthy, sun–kissed glow, and his eyes sparkled like stars every time he looked at someone.

Since Sophia was the very first person he laid eyes on after being rescued, he ended up totally imprinting on her–like he’d developed a deep, clingy crush and couldn’t help but feel attached.

Once he was up and moving, he wouldn’t leave Sophia alone for a second–just always circling her, tagging long like some clingy little wolf pup.

The boy had a fistful of wildflowers, completely ignoring Annabelle–his whole attention was locked on Sophia as he shoved the bouquet into her hands.

“Sophia, I went up the mountain and picked these wildflowers for you,” he blurted out.

He was so earnest and fiery with his feelings; it was like subtlety didn’t even exist in his world–he was ready to set her heart ablaze with his pure enthusiasm.

Sophia stared at the wildflowers in his hands, fluttering lively in the evening breeze; the fresh scent filled the air and instantly swept over her, utterly intoxicating.

It took her right back to when she was little–she’d loved running around the mountains hunting for wildflowers. Seeing those familiar little daisies, she reached out, took them, and brought them close for a gentle sniff.

“Wow, they smell so good,” she murmured, a soft smile on her face.

The boy couldn’t take his eyes off her smile–his gaze practically lit up with wild, burning admiration.

“Sophia, is it true you guys are leaving for Jelasburg tomorrow?” he asked.

nodded, “Yeah, the rescue mission’s pretty much wrapped up. Now it’s all about rebuilding, and honestly, there’s not much more we can do here.”

“Don’t worry, Sophia. When you get back to Jelasburg, just wait for my good news–I swear I’ll ace the exams and get into a university there. Then I’ll come find you and we can hang out,” he said, grinning,

Sophia heard he was a straight–up genius–the kind of guy who would’ve had no problem getting into Jelasburg University if that earthquake hadn’t thrown a wrench in things.

With all that crazy stuff happening right before the big exam, he was still totally confident about getting into Jelasburg University. Honestly, it looked like the quake didn’t faze him one bit.

She smiled warmly, “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you to become my little freshman at Jelasburg.

“I’m going to call you, Sophia, and you have to pick up–promise me, okay?” At first, his tone was full of bossy confidence, but by the end, it melted into a soft plea.

Sophia didn’t want to mess with his last few days of cramming, so she gave him a gentle smile and said, “Alright, you just focus on your studies and crush the big exam–you’ve got this.”

“I won’t make you wait long, Sophia,” he said, his voice light but full of eager promise.

Once he got the answer he was hoping for, he darted forward and pulled Sophia into a bear hug, squeezing her tight with all his youthful energy.

Before she even had time to resist, he let go–just as quickly and unexpectedly as he’d grabbed her.

ophia, I’m heading back to cram. See you in Jelasburg–don’t forget about me.” The boy flashed a cheeky in, his voice bubbling over with excitement.

With that, he spun around and sprinted away, tossing a carefree wave over his shoulder, his laughter echoing behind him as he disappeared into the night.

He radiated such raw, unstoppable youthful energy that anyone watching couldn’t help but be swept up by it.

Annabelle shot Sophie a teasing look, clicking her tongue. “Sophie, looks like he’s latched onto you.”
