Chapter 1275 It Sounded Frightening
Jarrod was clearly smiling, but there were tears at the corners of his eyes, mixed with his blood. They
flowed down together.
He finally fainted from losing too much blood. But before he fainted, he took out his phone and edited a
message, then deleted it.
Nicole and Samuel searched the mountains behind the Bryan Town but failed to find Nicole''s second
uncle. Instead, they fell into a trap.
This should be a trap for catching beasts. Fortunately, there were no sharp des inside. Otherwise,
both Nicole and Samuel would be injured.
Samuel fell first to protect Nicole. Nicole hurriedly got up and checked if Samuel was alright.
"I''m fine. Don''t worry. I just fell."
Samuel was afraid that Nicole would be worried, so she couldn''t help but speak.
But Nicole whispered, "How can I not be worried? We fall from such a high ce. We would probably
starve to death here if no one finds us. Moreover, you fell so heavily just now to protect me. I need to
see if you have any injuries."
She ignored Samuel''s objection and checked Samuel up. She only heaved a sigh of relief after
discovering that it was only a scratch.
"Just now, we separated from them to search for my second uncle. We should have brought more
people."
Nicole was somewhat annoyed and regretful.
However, Samuel shook his head and said, "It''s easy to reveal our whereabouts if we bring more
people. Yesterday, Jarrod ruined Aaron''s n. That old man will definitely set up defenses everywhere
and even seize every opportunity to kill us. Now that we have fallen into this trap, perhaps it''s still a
good thing."
"Good thing? You''re so optimistic."
Seeing Samuel being so calm, Nicole also calmed down.
She looked around. This ce should be in the remote mountains. The trees were tall, and even the
grass beside the trap was tall. It could be seen that usually no one came here.
Nicole helped Samuel sit up.
There was a lot of space inside the trap. It should be prepared to capturerge beasts. They wondered
if their people would find them.
"I''ll send them a message."
Nicole took out her phone but was stopped by Samuel.
"If you send a message at this time, I''m worried that they will intercept our signal. Aaron''s people may
arrive before our people. Then we''ll be in real danger."
Nicole did not have Samuel''s jungle survival experience, so she naturally listened to Samuel.
Looking at the dark circles under Samuel''s eyes, she felt a little distressed and said, "Why don''t you
lean on me and sleep for a while? It has been almost a night, and your body can''t bear it. It''s hard for
people to find us here. The weeds on top of us haven''t been damaged, so it''s rtively safer."
"You should sleep for a while. I can still hold on."
Samuel looked at Nicole and felt a little distressed.
But Nicole smiled and said, "Do you want to be macho now? I''m fine. Why don''t we both rest for a
while and think of a way to leave this ce when we wake up? At that time, we''ll both have strength,
right?"
"Alright."
Samuel hugged Nicole.
The two of them snuggled together, and not long after, Nicole seemed to fall asleep.
Seeing that she was asleep, Samuel heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at the trap and felt that
there shouldn''t be any danger. He felt tired and quickly fell asleep.
Nicole opened her eyes after Samuel fell asleep.
Her eyes were somewhat sparkling, and she didn''t want to sleep at all.
Now that she was outside, even if she was sleepy, she didn''t dare to close her eyes, afraid that
something dangerous would. If she did not sleep, Samuel would definitely not rest.

Samuel had been in a state of exhaustion and nervousness these past few days, so he needed to rest.
Nicole quietly climbed out of his arms, then took off her coat and put it on Samuel''s body. Afterwards,
she took out her pistol to be on guard.
Samuel slept for four to five hours.
When he opened his eyes and saw that Nicole was still on guard and she had dark circles, he knew
that Nicole had not rested at all.
"You..."
"I''m fine, I''m not sleepy."
Nicole smiled faintly. Her smile was gentle. Samuel felt warm in his heart.
"Alright, I have rested enough. It''s your turn to sleep. Otherwise, you won''t have enough strengthter."
"Alright."
This time, Nicole did not hesitate. She directly leant against the side, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Samuel couldn''t help but feel heartache when he saw his wife had be somewhat skinny along the
way. When they got out, he must get someone to make something delicious for Nicole.
After Nicole fell asleep, Samuel discovered that Nicole had set up some obstacles in the surroundings,
and even some obstacles on top of them. If someone came down, they would immediately notice it.
Samuel always knew that Nicole was smart, but he didn''t expect that she would use the method of car
design here. He couldn''t help but smile, and his gaze became gentler.
While Nicole was still asleep, Samuel''s mind was racing.
Was Nicole''s second uncle really here?
Could it be that Jarrod lied to trick him into the mountains?
Thinking of this possibility, Samuel was a little anxious, but calling Zoe and the others now would easily
reveal their whereabouts.
If his guess was correct, then it was very likely that Nicole''s second uncle was not here at all.
Thinking of this, Samuel was a little angry.
Sure enough, he shouldn''t have believed Jarrod''s words.
However, when Samuel thought of Jarrod, his mind shed with the scene of Jarrod risking his own life
to save him, and his brows tightly knitted together.
Jarrod was truly a troublemaker.
Samuel couldn''t turn on his phone in case that his phone was traced. Samuel had no other way to
notify Zoe and the others, so he could only hope that Juliana could protect his family.
But Zoe was fine, eating happily and sleeping soundly.
Nicole woke up in less than an hour.
"Why don''t you sleep a little longer?"
Seeing her wake up after such a short sleep, Samuel couldn''t help but feel heartache.
Nicole stood up, stretched her body, and whispered, "It''s enough. We can have a good rest after we get
out. Samuel, we need to find a way out of here."
"I just saw that we can only climb out of here. However, it was too slippery in the trap. There is no ce
for us set foot on. Moreover, we still need a rope. I brought everything with me except the rope when I
came out this time."
"Me neither."
Nicole stillcked the experience to survive in the jungle, so she couldn''t think of anything she needed
to bring.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside.
"Someone is here."
Samuel hurriedly hugged Nicole and leaned against the wall, making it hard for people to see them at
the first moment.
"Amelia, are you sure they''re going this way?"
The voice of an unfamiliar man came from outside. Nicole and Samuel were nervous.
Amelia looked around and squatted down to check the grass. A cold voice came.
"They should be nearby. Have our people search carefully. Mr. Jarrod said that we must find them and
send them back to the Bryan Town safely."
This was a girl!
Nicole was slightly stunned and heard a man say, "Amelia, I don''t think we should be here right now.
We should go to the ancestral hall and bring Mr. Jarrod out. You know, every time that Mr. Jarrod takes
punishment in the ancestral hall, he will almost die. Sometimes, I wonder if Mr. Jarrod is Mr. Aaron''s
biological son."
"Shut up!"
Amelia''s cold voice suddenly trembled.
She clenched her hands tightly together with a look of struggle and pain in her eyes, and she
whispered, "Mr. Jarrod let us save Samuel and his wife. This is his order. You know the consequences
of not following the order in our organization."
"But perhaps Mr. Jarrod''s life is in danger, and he needs our help!"
"I said shut up!"
Amelia''s voice finally became uncontrobly sharp. She even grabbed the cor of the man and said in
a trembling voice, "Do you think I''m not worried? Do you think I feel good? I''m more worried about Mr.
Jarrod than any of you. I''ve followed him since I was eighteen. I''m his woman. I know what kind of
punishment and pain he is going through now. But I know better what Mr. Jarrod wants to do. He wants
to save the lives of Samuel and his wife. This is the only thing he cares about except for Mr. Vincent for
so many years. Even if I die, I will stillplete the mission he gave me. Therefore, you are not
allowed to say anything that has nothing to do with this mission. I''m afraid that I won''t be able to control
myself, and I''m afraid that I will rush back to save him regardless of his order. So shut up! Find them!"
She let go of the man''s cor, and her cold eyes carried traces of tears, but she stubbornly wiped them
away.
"This is a remote mountain. It''s a hunting area for the people from the surrounding towns. There should
be some traps so we should be more careful. Search for the traps here. We may find something. Put
down a rope in each trap we find. If they passed through here and fell in a trap, they would have a
chance to escape."
After Amelia finished speaking, she began to instruct people to act.
Nicole and Samuel remained silent.
Only when Amelia and the others left did Nicole let out a sigh of relief. She asked in a low voice, "Do
you think they deliberately said that to us?"
"Perhaps."
Samuel''s eyes were slightly lit up, and his heart was not calm.
He had expected that Jarrod would be punished. After all, Jarrod ruined Aaron''s ns. However,
ording to those people''s words just now, it seemed that Jarrod would suffer some bad things when
he was imprisoned in the ancestral hall.
He almost died?
It sounded frightening.
Samuel was shilly-shallying. He knew that he couldn''t pretend that he hadn''t heard the conversation.
Nicole was so smart that she knew what Samuel was thinking.
Nicole''s second uncle was important, but it was not easy to find someone in this vast mountain range,
but Jarrod''s situation was different.
If they found Amelia and followed them to look for Jarrod, they would have a high chance of saving
Jarrod.
