Chapter 233


    The manughed coldly. “What a joke!” He mocked mercilessly. “Allison, you’re so full of yourself Look


    at yourself Why on earth would I be interested in you? If it weren’t for your constant attempts to seduce


    me, I wouldn’t even spare you a nce”

    Fair enough” Allison retorted sarcastically


    Why would he be interested in her? The thought brought a pang of pain to her heart


    A cold wind carrying rain swept into the cave, making her shiver.


    She hadn’t expected the hot summer morning to turn so cold by night


    “Mr Lindberg, what brings you deep into the forest? Was it for her?


    Lucian’s expression was icy, the cave barely lit by a faint fire


    1 got lost “He answered, looking at Allison’s slender back. He paused briefly, then added, “Just


    happened to bump into you. I didn’t think you’d be dumb enough to wander deep into the forest”


    “Oh” Allison said. “So I’m the dumb one for wandering into the forest What about you, Mr. Lindberg?”


    The man gritted his teeth, ‘Allison‘”


    In the middle of the night, the man fell unconscious


    Allison stayed by his side, calling his name repeatedly, “Lucian, Lucian!”


    “Lucian, don’t fall asleep!”


    It was cold, and he was running a fever. If he fell asleep, who knew what could happen?


    She pped his cheek lightly, “Lucian, open your eyes.”


    He opened his eyes groggily.


    His vision was blurry, his mind a mess. He vaguely saw a woman’s silhouette.


    Her lips were moving, her eyes bright, but he couldn’t understand what she was saying.


    The face gradually merged with a young one deeply etched in his memory


    Was it her?


    Lucian’s vision blurred again, and he closed his eyes.


    Allison cried out in panic, “Lucian!”


    At three in the morning, the rain stopped.


    Allison, with a shlight in hand, stepped out of the cave alone. Her foot was severely injured, and now


    her ankle was swollen, but she couldn’t care less about her injuries.


    This was a pristine jungle, home to many medicinal nts. She had to find a way, or Lucian might not


    get through this fever


    She used to go herb picking with her grandmother and was familiar with many medicinal nts. But


    now, in the dark, she could only grope her way


    forward


    Suddenly, a blue light burst into the sky


    A re!


    Allison looked up and immediately started running in that direction.


    Someone wasing to rescue them!


    Her eyes were filled with hope. The recent rain had made the ground slippery, and mud pits were


    everywhere. Allison didn’t know how many times she fell. She kept stumbling and running towards the


    re.


    Allison was suddenly tripped by a stone. She tried to prop her body up with her hands, struggling to get


    up. But her eyelids were getting heavier, and her vision was beginning to blur


    She felt her strength fading. But Lucian was still waiting for her.


    She propped her body up with her hands. It seemed like something had torn her palms, her legs too.


    She gasped heavily in pain


    Just then, “Captain, there’s someone here”


    Her voice was getting weaker. With that, she slowly closed her eyes.


    He took off his glove and ced his hand on her forehead. This woman had a high fever. He looked at


    the night sky, calmly instructing his team, ‘Shoot a red re. Tell them we’ve found the people. It’s


    critical. Get a chopper here for rescue now!”


    “Roger!”


    He looked down at the woman in his arms. He took off his glove and gently moved the hair off her face.


    She was beautiful. This was the exciting woman


    Aldan mentioned, and Lucian had gone into the forest alone for her.


    This woman was indeed extraordinary.


    In the hospital.


    Allison opened her eyes. The nurse changing her bandages, immediately rang the bell for the doctor


    The doctor, after examining her, said, “Hmm, you’re fine now”


    Looking around, the smell of disinfectant filled the air. She was in a hospital


    She was rescued


    The nurse asked, “Ms Zimmer, how are you feeling now?”


    Allison nced at the name tag on the nurse’s chest, This is the city hospital. How long was I out?”


    “One day, you were brought in yesterday morning at 7. It’s now R in the evening.”


    Allison murmured.


    Her eyshes fluttered. How was Lucian?


    “The man who came in with me, how is he?”


    “You mean Mr. Lindberg? He’s in room 509.”


    ”


    Allison got out of bed and went to the door of room 509. The doctor wasing out. As the door


    swung open and shut, Allison saw Penelope was also in the room, sitting by the bed.


    Allison turned on her heel and walked away.
