I looked down the moment I jumped off the cliff and felt somehow relieved. Fortunately, ake was
waiting for us down there. I didn’t know how deep it was, but I figured it was better than literally falling
into pieces.
I reached out, hoping to grab the corner of Rufus ‘ clothes, but he fell so fast before I even got to
prepare myself. I wasn’t ready to take the leap. Rufus came into contact with the water with a loud
ssh and immediately passed out. He was unconscious as he sank.
I took a deep breath. It was now or never. I thennded into theke as well and felt the water around
me move away in a huge sh before engulfing me once again.
Theke was very deep. The cold water quickly permeated my clothes, and I couldn’t help but shiver.
But there was no time to get upied in that sensation.
I scanned theke to search for Rufus’ sinking b*ody. When I spotted him, I swam toward him and
tugged him by his clothes.
Rufus went out like a light, and it was probably because he was losing too much blood. The blood that
gushed from his chest wound was immediately diluted by theke water, dyeing it red.
There would be no use if I panicked right now. I tightly took a grip of Rufus’ clothes, pressed my mouth
against his, and breathed into his airway. Making sure he didn’t drown was first on the list.
As we slowly fell to the bottom of theke, I could feel the weeds around undting along the waves. I
tried dragging his arm to reach the surface, but my feet got entangled with the weeds. I was now
anchored to the bottom with an unconscious Rufus. I struggled hard but identally inhaled a mouthful
of water. I felt the sharp pain draw against my chest as I fought the reflex to ch*oke.
I wasn’t the best at swimming. Even when I was training for the military, I sc*ored the lowest in that
department. Still, that was then and this was now.
I shook my pounding head against the water, held myst breath, and pulled myself down to free my
feet from the clutch of the weeds. It was not until I felt dizzy that I managed to sessfully break free.
Pushing myself to survival, I jumped out of the water with Rufus just in time before I expended the
remaining bits of my oxygen supply. I wheezed, while dragging Rufus ashore. And then, Iid him t
on the stone and performed a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Rufus coughed the water out of his lungs violently. After that, his breathing became stable, but he was
still in aa.
With no time to waste, I carried him with difficulty and walked forward.
The dusk that swallowed us whole was hindering my sight from seeing the path clearly as I walked
aimlessly through the forest. I was aware it was dangerous, seeing as I was wounded myself and
carrying another injured person to anywhere that would ensure our safety. The buzz the forest created
one after another resonated. It was as if the source of those hums hidden in the dark were waiting for
an opportunity to attack; if I showed an ounce of hesitation, those beasts would definitely pounce and
devour me and Rufus.
Rufus was severely hurt that his b*ody couldn’t handle violent jolts. We were both w*et from the fall,
and if I didn’t tend to him right away, his condition might worsen. I needed to quickly find a ce to
hide. I quickened my pace, hoping to spot at least a cave.
Fortunately, after walking about a mile, I found a cave hidden behind the waterfall.
I was so happy that the fatigue that was taking its toll on me dissipated. I took Rufus into the cave as
quickly as I could.
The mouth of the cave was smaller than the space it held inside. It was bigger than I thought. Although
a waterfall was plunging outside, the area it was concealing was rather dry. I took off my coat and
wrapped it on Rufus.
Under the dim moonlight shining through the waterfall, I checked on Rufus’ condition. His lips were dry
and cracked, and he had dark circles beneath his eyes, but these weren’t the only features that did
justice to how out of sorts he was. I went to probe the wound on his chest, and it just made him look
more miserable.
The bandage was not only w*et; it also caught a lot of weeds and sand that it couldn’t sift.
I carefully untied the bandage, uncovering the wound. My hand trembled at the sight, and my heart
ached. His injury was serious. The wound was so deep that the bones were visible. Since it got w*et,
the area started to fester.
I took a deep breath and felt a lingering fear. I couldn’t imagine what would have happened to Rufus
had I not arrived here tonight. I shook my head to erase the scenario that yed inside my mind.
Then I realized Rufus’ forehead was scorching! If the wound worsened, a persistent fever would put his
life in danger. I had to at least stop it from getting even more infected.
I racked my brain to think of a way. What should be done? Then it suddenly urred to me that the
mate’s lick would be helpful for his injury. Although I used witchcraft to cover up my mate bond with
Rufus before, our connection was undeniable, so licking the spot of his injury should be effective.
Rufus’ breath was bing searing by the second. I had to make up my mind since there was no
other way. I removed the disguise of my scent and lowered my head to lick Rufus’ lesions.
