Chapter 517
The worst pain was knowing you could never make up for your mistakes,
Dexter remained silent for a moment, his eyes resklening as he said, “It’s not just you. I’m to blame too. As her father, I’ve also let her down.”
Felicia was already far away by then, out of earshot. Even it she had heard, it wouldn’t have moved her in the slightest.
Myra cried uncontrollably, het sobs wracking her body mutil she was gasping for air. After finally calming down, her fever flared up, causing her body to be burning het.
It was a bad sign
Dexter immediately recalled how she had drunk water from the leaves of the trees out of desperation carller. That water could have been contaminated with bacteria or parasites
“Let’s go We need to get out of here right now. If we can’t reach the outside world soon…” He didn’t finish the thought before pulling Myra along as they
They followed the path Felicia had pointed out, clinging to the food and water she had left them. It would have to last. According to Felicia, Sebastian was already on his way. It they kept moving, they’d eventually meet him and be rescued
hallway there, Myra, burning with a fever, collapsed.
Dexter had no choice but to carry her on his back, gritting his teeth as he pressed on.
He didn’t know how much time had passed. The sky darkened, and the rainforest fell into darkness. Soon, he couldn’t even see the path ahead. Before he lost all sense of direction, Dexter’s strength gave out first, and he fell to the ground.
As he collapsed, he shielded Myra’s head. His fading consciousness caught sight of light beams from flashlights cutting through the darkness. At the front, Sebastian was sprinting toward them.
They were saved
Dester managed a smile before passing out.
Night fell in the rainforest. Countless creatures stirred to life in the darkness. The rustling of monkeys jumping on the trees and the soft movement animals in the underbrush filled the air. Mosquitoes swarned relentlessly, buzzing around Fellela’s head and hands.
Thankfully, the herbs she brought with her were enough for her to prepare several mosquito–repellent sachets during her helicopter ride. They worked, but the sheer number of insects meant their effectiveness was limited. Standing still for too long would practically guarantee being drained dry by those
The mosquitoes were the least of her concerns. Polsonous snakes, pythons, and so on posed far greater threats.
Felicia pressed on with her flashlight in hand
Oddly enough, despite the danger of being alone in such a perilous environment at night, she didn’t feel scared. Instead, her mind wandered.
She wondered it she’d hear that bronze bell again if she fell asleep here. Would she sleepwalk? And it she did, would she instinctively fight back in a dangerous situation or simply surrender?
The thought made her chuckle at how unbothered she seemned.
She then wondered where Stephan was at right now. Had Stanley and the others found blum yet?
Suking her head, she cleared her mind of wandering thoughts and focused on the path ahead. A pile of leaves might hilde a deadly swamp, and one wrong step could be total
After walking for over an hour, she realized she was lost.
It she was not mistaken, she had strayed far from Stanley and the others. Worse still, she wasn’t sure which direction she was heading anymore. At a loss for words, she thought, “Oh, great.”
With how things were, alwe couldn’t continue straight ahead and risk wandering further. She planned to da sale, opens continue at daybreak
Just as she legats scouting,
to wait out the night and
r, for such a place, a falut mustling sound reached her ears from behind her. It was the unmistakable slithering… of a python,
