SWNOVELS Chapter 61 He came to her rescue
Philip shook his head with a subtle bitter smile.
Last night, he heard Joey calling a man's name in her sleep, and it was Allen Charles. It broke his heart.
He wouldn't have been so upset if she had called Ben Hawk's name in her sleep. Now there was another man in the picture. He believed that he wouldn't have a shot with Joey anymore.
Just then, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from above. It was a man's anxious voice on the loudspeaker: Joey, Joey, baby, baby, where are you? Could you hear me? Come home, my baby... "Allen...it's Allen's voice!"
Joey jumped to her feet in surprise. She immediately ran out of the cave and looked up. A helicopter was hovering in the sky and Allen Charles was standing at the open door with a loudspeaker in his hand, calling her name nonstop. "Allen, I'm here. Allen, I'm right here. Look over here..."
Joey waved at the low-altitude flying helicopter.
Fortunately, she was wearing the same orange sportswear as yesterday. It was an eye-catching color, so Allen instantly identified her.
Allen quickly asked the pilot to go near her and put down the hanging ladder. He climbed down the ladder himself and grabbed Joey. Spinning in the air face-to-face, they couldn't take their eyes off each other. "Allen, why are you here?"
Joey was excited that he had come to her rescue unexpectedly. It was so heartwarming that she almost burst into tears.
Allen pretended to be angry, "You would fall into the wrong hands if I didn't show up in time."
He took an unfriendly glance at Philip who was still standing outside the cave down there.
He had gotten into an intense fight with Philip when they met for the first time. Obviously, they disliked each other from the very beginning.
Joey was suddenly reminded of Philip who was still trapped in the cave, "Allen, why don't you help Philip? He would be in jeopardy if the river surged again."
Allen frowned, "I would like to get you out of here first. Don't worry. It stopped raining and the river won't surge again."
After saying that, he shook the ladder hard. Someone instantly pulled the ladder and got them board.
Once they got on the helicopter, Joey found that Chance and Martin had come along with Allen.
Joey had met them at the Elsner Club on one night when Martin proposed to play strip poker with the girls. However, Martin was flying the helicopter in his well-ironed dark green military uniform, looking serious and handsome, which was surprising for Joey. She now realized that Martin was a military man of high rank by his epaulettes. But she didn't have enough military knowledge to know which specific position he was in.
Chance was amused by the surprised look on her face, "Don't be surprised. Martin is a decent military man when he is in his uniform. But he turns into a wicked human being when he isn't."
Feeling offended, Martin protested in a similar tone, "Dude, you're no better than me. You're a decent doctor in the white coat and the son of dark night when you take it off."
"It seems that I'm the only one whose actions are consistent with his words among us three."
Allen laughed and took hold of Joey's waist, "Baby, you find the treasure, don't you know that?"
Of course, he was referring himself as the treasure.
Joey chuckled at their amusing conversations. She could tell that Allen, Chance and Martin had been very good friends.
Suddenly, as they were talking, the helicopter began to fly forward. She instantly shouted, "No, we couldn't leave just yet. Philip is still in the cave down there."
"Not important. I'll send you back to the village first. Don't you see that there isn't enough room for a sixth passenger in the helicopter?"
Allen frowned again. It seemed Joey cared about Philip a lot.
Allen had a point. Joey turned her head, trying to have a few words with Philip before they took off. But the helicopter suddenly accelerated and they were hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye. Joey stared at the back of Martin's head with anger. She knew he had done it on purpose.
A few minutes later, the helicopter landed at the Village of Giant Salamanders.
The arrival of the helicopter drew the attention of all the villagers. They were curious and thrilled because it was the first time they had ever seen such a thing.
Allen Charles ignored the crowd, and dragged Joey into her room the minute they got off the helicopter. He slammed the door behind them.
