Chapter 108

Leaning against the tree trunk, Veronica watched as the masked man walked further and further away. In the end, stimulated by a strong desire to survive, she stood up and followed step by step behind him. They were in the wilderness, and it was getting dark soon. If she really were to stay here alone, she didn‘t know what she would be facing. However, she didn‘t want to die.

Upon hearing the sound behind him, the masked man walking ahead looked back to see Veronica stumbling after him, and a hint of surprise flickered across his eyes. He didn‘t say a word, but he slowed down his pace a lot. This woman is amazingly tough, eh?

They walked for a while until dusk deepened and they couldn‘t see any path at all. Only then did they find a suitable place to rest and take shelter from the rain. It was a cave, though.

After finding the dagger on her, he examined her wound, hesitating whether to treat the wound for her. In the end, however, he didn‘t do anything. He merely mumbled, “I‘m kind enough not to kill you.”

It was already noon the next day when Veronica came round. Even though she was still feeling dizzy, her fever had gone down. Her arm was bandaged with a strip of fabric, and her wound had been treated. She knew it was the masked man who had done these.

Luckily, the mouth of the cave didn‘t collapse either.

She sat there, yelling, “Hey, is anyone there? Are you there, masked man?”
