Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 251 - 250: If I Die

This time, it was louder than every time before.

It seemed as if the elevator was carrying three thousand pounds and was about to give in.

May Sloane’s breath tightened, her back already soaked with sweat, and her voice was hoarse, "It’s coming, it’s coming again..."

Clang——

Suddenly, the elevator plummeted at an unpredictable speed.

The numbers above quickly changed from fifteen.

Fourteen.

Thirteen.

Twelve.

Eleven.

Ten.

Beep beep beep beep——

The sound of the elevator pinging at floors kept ringing out like soul-claiming music, driving everyone into a frenzy.

Finally, on the ninth floor, the elevator stopped once again.

May’s legs were already numb, and she struggled to keep from collapsing to the floor. She frantically pressed the floors above the ninth one, and as they lit up, her eyes were already teary.

Both of their phones were shining, trying to maintain some light in the elevator.

Tiana Thorne felt a growing sense of dread in her heart.

Previously, she had already lost too much blood because of Celine Steel, her body was weak and not yet recovered. In this enclosed space, she found it hard to breathe, making her feel dizzy and lightheaded.

She opened her mouth, wanting to vomit, a reaction from low blood sugar.

Both had not much strength left, and eventually, they sat on the floor.

May felt as though this scene was a waiting for death, utterly desperate. She wiped away a tear and looked at Tiana.

Seeing her face pale, lips turning purple, her heart became even more panicked.

May moved over, propped her up, letting her lean on her shoulder, her voice frantic, "Tiana, Tiana, how are you?"

Tiana weakly lifted her eyelids, looking at her hands. Just moments ago, from gripping May’s hand too tightly, she had torn some skin, and the blood oozed out, making her even dizzier.

"I’m too weak..."

May tried to comfort her, speaking between gasps, "It’s okay, we’ll definitely be rescued."

"If I die, you..."

"No, you won’t!" May interrupted her in panic.

Tiana curved her lips into a smile, each word clear, "Remember to get my photos back from Aiden Shaw."

May looked at her with a lazy demeanor, the smile on her lips carrying an enthralling charm.

At this time?

Tiana was still worried about her seventeen photos.

Tiana took a deep breath again and said, "By the way, ask him how his illness is doing."

May: "..."

Initially, she was terrified, but now she burst out laughing, "Tiana, what’s going on in that head of yours?"

Tiana licked her lips, her breath becoming more suffocated, "Of course, things you can’t imagine."

Suddenly, the elevator moved again.

May held Tiana tightly.

Not afraid to die together.

But who knew, the elevator unexpectedly went up one floor and stopped again.

"Is the elevator fixed?" May asked with delight.

Tiana, "I can’t take it anymore... press the door open, let some air in..."

May heard Tiana’s survival instinct, and seemingly less afraid, she touched the button.

However, the two doors stayed tightly shut, not moving an inch.

Tiana softly pulled out her usual makeup mirror from her bag and handed it to her, "Jam it in the gap between the doors."

Mays was already dripping with sweat, she hesitated for a moment, asked urgently, "Tiana, can we open the door and run out?"

"Now, there are only two possibilities," Tiana looked at her, breathing heavily, the dizzying feeling almost making her faint.

May said nothing, even her breathing was held for a long time before she took a small breath, not wanting to compete for the little oxygen here.

Tiana lazily said, "The basic premise of not moving the elevator is that someone is rescuing us, but now..."

She panted for a while before continuing, "If we’re unlucky, prying a seam for air, falling to our death is better than suffocating to death."

May: "..."

"Keeping the elevator still lets the air flow, breathe in some oxygen."

No matter how you say it, it’s just to breathe oxygen.

The sensation of suffocating is too horrible...

Tiana’s right, given the situation, either way, it’s death, falling to death is better than suffocating.

Directly jammed the stainless-steel mirror into the narrow gap, combined with the button, forcefully prying it open from both sides.

Tiana only saw many stars before her eyes, her ears ringing more and more, hardly able to breathe any oxygen, it felt like she could faint at any moment.

Finally, May pried open a gap as wide as a pinky finger, and instantly, a bit of fresh air streamed in.

May immediately helped Tiana towards the door.

With some oxygen, Tiana felt much better, but this small gap couldn’t solve the fundamental problem.

The weather was too hot, being trapped inside, the vent was too small to breathe normally.

"Tiana, it seems the elevator isn’t moving now, let’s just wait here for rescue and leave it to fate," May said, by now, after being scared, even though still despairing, she seemed to have accepted it.

Tiana gently curved her lips, her eyes icy cold, "I don’t plan on dying."

"But earlier you..."

"Just kidding."

May: "..." Even at a time like this, Tiana was still trying to distract her, to prevent her from being scared.

"Can you see what’s outside?" Tiana persisted, determined that before she fainted, someone would find them.

May leaned in, "It’s the hotel corridor."

"Five-star hotel, cleaning staff are always around, shout!"

At that moment, May seemed to reignite her hope for life, shouting toward the small gap, "Is anyone there? Anybody?"

Tiana took out her phone, copying Aiden Shaw’s and Maxim Ford’s numbers, then composing a message, pasting the numbers, with no sender.

She wrote a short text: Please call these two numbers for rescue, there will be a generous reward.

Once everything was ready, she asked, "May, is anyone there?"

"No..." May was somewhat anxious, very afraid that the elevator might drop again.

Tiana squinted her eyes tightly, "Let me try."

"Okay." May made way for her.

Tiana closed her eyes for a brief moment, then opened them, her gaze exceedingly clear, but that voice was soft and alluring, "Is anyone there... it hurts so much~"

May: "...!!!"

What kind of sound is this!!!

It was hard for anyone in the rooms, whether woman or man, to ignore.

Tiana called out again, "Brother, sister, auntie, uncle..."

Bam!

They heard the sound of a door opening with a crash.

May was delighted, quickly using her hoarse, rough voice to shout, "Over here! By the elevator! Help!"

The person outside came closer, genuinely startled, "What’s going on?"

It was a man’s voice.

May glanced at Tiana, finding her weakly leaning after that fairy-like shout, utterly exhausted.

She rushed to say, "The elevator’s malfunctioned, and we can’t reach the front desk, please, help us."

"Sure, sure, don’t worry, don’t move inside, don’t fall," his accent was Southern, but Tiana understood, handing her phone to May, "Give it to him."

May took the phone and handed it out through the gap.
