Chapter 1687 Sky Filled With Fire
Raeleigh froze. Jepherson''s eyes sparkled in the dark. He knew each and every one of Raeleigh''s
expression.
Raeleigh asked, "Are you lying to me?"
"Raeleigh, was there a misunderstanding back then? Is the baby..."
"No. I was indeed pregnant with Austin''s baby, but..."
"Why are you lying to me?" Jepherson asked as he stared at Raeleigh, to which she replied, "It doesn''t
make a difference now, does it? I am now Austin''s wife. He has our kid and I have no idea where he is.
Our kid fell ill when he was young and Austin took him away. I don''t even know how he''s doing right
now.
I''m sure that Austin will know whether the kid is yours. If the kid is yours, why would he take him
away?"
"Why are you still lying to me?"
"I''m not! I can''t do anything if you choose not to believe me!"
"Ok, fine. Since you''re not lying, then I want you to bring me to see the kid. I want you to prove to me
that the kid is Austin''s. If it''s really his, then I don''t want him."
"Then, what about me?"
"I want you to divorce him."
"How can you do that? I don''t owe you anything."
...
Jepherson sat in silence. The conversation ended in a deadlock.
After a long time, Jepherson stood up, looked around for a while and saw no signs of the helicopter, but
he sensed that something was amiss.
"Raeleigh, we need to find a ce to hide. I think there is a ck bear nearby."
Jepherson turned around and hurriedly picked Raeleigh up, in search of a ce to hide.
Raeleigh said, "Put me down. If there is really a ck bear, I''m sure it will be able to find us no matter
where we hide."
Jepherson stopped. He suddenly thought of a n and quickly put Raeleigh down. He gathered some
branches before taking out the kerosene and lighter from his backpack.
He lit the branches and dragged the dead wild boar towards the fire. Then, they sat nearby the fire and
waited for the bear to appear.
After a while, Jepherson pulled out a knife and dragged the wild boar to one side. He made sure he
could see Raeleigh from where he was. Then, he started gutting the wild boar. He kept the wild boar
leg to eat while the rest of its remains were tossed aside, in hopes that it would lure the bear away.
Jepherson returned and took out some water. He wrapped the wild boar leg with some leaves and mud
before putting it on top of the fire.
He even cooked some meat for Raeleigh.
Raeleigh was hungry. She had not eaten anything for the entire day. Once the meat was done cooking,
he handed it to Raeleigh, who immediately devoured the entire thing.
Meanwhile, Jepherson decided to drink some water before eating his food.
As soon as they were both done eating, the ck bear suddenly emerged from the sides. It wanted to
approach them, but it was afraid of the fire. It circled Raeleigh and Jepherson a few times before finally
leaving.
A wolf was much more difficult to handlepared to a ck bear.
However, not long after the ck bear left, a wolf suddenly appeared.
Jepherson was busy cooking another batch of meat when the wolf suddenly pounced on him from
behind. The wolf was not afraid of the fire at all. As soon as Raeleigh saw the wolf, she immediately
took out her gun and pointed it at the animal.
Jepherson wanted to stop her but it was toote.
The wolf howled and fell to the ground, Raeleigh hurried over to help Jepherson up. "Jepherson..."
"I''m fine."
Jepherson stood up. He wanted to check on the wolf but the wolf had already gotten up from the
ground and was already limping away.
"Raeleigh, we have to leave now." Jepherson took Raeleigh''s hand. He reached his hand into the fire,
pulled out the meat inside and quickly ran away.
Raeleigh asked, "What''s wrong?"
"You injured the wolf. I''m sure it wille back for revenge."
"Why do you say that?"
"Wolves live in packs. If one of their members is injured, then others wille to us for revenge."
"Do you think we can outrun them?"
"It really depends on luck. We''ll have to see where the wolf stands in the pack hierarchy, but the wolf
seems strong and its also a male. I have a feeling that he is the alpha male of the pack."
"Then, you should leave."
Raeleigh paused for a moment. Jepherson watched her, as she thought for a second. Then, she
reached out and pulled him, "Hurry up."
Raeleigh ran faster than she did earlier. Jepherson followed her as they ran as far away as they could.
However, when they ran to the periphery of the forest, they stumbled upon a pack of wolves.
Jepherson shielded Raeleigh from the wolves. He picked up a branch and wrapped Raeleigh''s shirt
around it before lighting it up. He pulled Raeleigh with him as they slowly walked away from the pack of
wolves.
At first, the pack of wolves did not dare to get close to them, but suddenly, a wolf decided to pounce on
them.
"Here, hold this."
Jepherson handed the me torch to Raeleigh and took out his gun.
When the wolves saw the gun, they immediately bared their teeth.
Jepherson aimed at one of them and opened fire, killing it in an instant. The rest retreated a few steps
before continuing to grit their teeth.
Raeleigh held the torch tightly, "What should we do now?"
"I don''t think they are not going to leave. Looks like we have to start a fire."
Jepherson ripped off the other side of Raeleigh''s clothes, lit it and threw it into the forest.
They were well into autumn where it hadn''t rained in a while. The forest soon engulfed in mes.
The fire was spreading very quickly across the forest.
At first, the wolf was afraid of Jepherson, so it did not dare to approach him. However, as soon as they
saw the fire, they quickly ran away. Jepherson reached out for Raeleigh''s hand and calmly ran out of
the forest to avoid being trapped in the fire.
Raeleigh watched Jepherson while running. He was still in full gear and she heard from Austin that the
entire gear weighed 30 kilograms. However, he was running as if it was nothing.
When they finally emerged from the burning forest, Jepherson stood for a few moments catching his
breath before he turned to Raeleigh. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I''m fine."
Raeleigh was exhausted, but if she did not run, they would both be engulfed by the fire.
At this moment, Raeleigh''s face was red and covered with sweat.
When Jepherson bent down and was about to carry Raeleigh, but she quickly avoided him, "I don''t
need you to carry me. I''m fine. All the wounds on my body are nothingpared to the wounds on
your body. Come on, we gotta get moving before we die here."
Jepherson paused for a moment and then asked, "Raeleigh, if I die, can you please tell me whether the
baby was a boy or a girl?"
Raeleigh shook her head. "The baby isn''t yours."
After Raeleigh finished her words, she started walking, but she turned around and dragged Jepherson
along with her. She could not run herself, but now, she had to make sure Jepherson came with her as
well.

Jepherson stood still as Raeleigh pulled him.
"What are you doing? The fire ising? Are you going toe with me or not?"
"No. Since the child is not mine and Austin hase to find you, then you should go."
Jepherson was rooted to the spot which made Raeleigh angry. "What the hell are you doing? Come on,
we have to go!"
"I''m not leaving. I''m going to die here."
"Are you crazy?"
"Raeleigh, can you at least tell me whether it''s a boy or a girl?"
"..."
Raeleigh looked at him. The fire was raging behind them.
"I don''t know. You know what? If you want to die here, then go ahead. I''m leaving."
After Raeleigh finished her words, she turned around and left. Jepherson did not move at all. He
watched as she ran away. The fire was spreading very quickly. After running a short distance, she
decided to stop. She turned around to look at Jepherson, who was now surrounded by the fire.
