Chapter 188

The car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the path Timothy was taking, Susan murmured, “You’re crazy. You’re truly crazy.”

She had lived in the town for three months and had heard some stories about the mountains from Clara.

In the past, almost every family in the small town made a living by hunting.

But there were many wild beasts deep in those vast and unfrequented mountains.

Thus, not even the most experienced hunters would dare to go deep into the mountains.

Later on, the locals stopped hunting and didn’t go up the mountains anymore because they had other means to

make money.

Now, Timothy, who didn’t know how to survive in the wildness, actually wanted to cross mountains.

He

was simply digging his own grave.

“Don’t be scared, Susan,” Timothy said in a gentle voice. “I will protect you after we get into the mountain. Though it’s dangerous, I’m still willing to do it at the cost of my own life to show how much I love you. Do you think Ben would take the risk of going deep into the mountain to look for you?”

He laughed and continued, “I don’t think he would.”

Susan said through gritted teeth, “If you want to kill yourself, just do it, but don’t bring me with you.”

“No, I’m not trying to get us killed. I have made preparations, and I will protect you, Timothy said stubbornly.

“Protect me? I don’t need it! Let me go, and I’ll appreciate it very much,” Susan said.

Timothy smiled but didn’t say anything.

He took out a handkerchief and walked toward her again.

“What are you trying to do now?” Susan was both shocked and angry.

In the next moment, she smelled the familiar pungent odor and passed out.

Timothy looked at the side of her face with an obsessed expression and said in a soft voice, “Don’t be scared, Susan. I’ll take you out of here now.”

He packed up his things, carried her on his back, and went straight up the mountain.

Susan’s attempt to attract attention by punching the window worked.

The locals reported it to the police saying that they saw a strange car.

The police showed them Susan’s photo, and they confirmed that the girl in the car was exactly Susan.

She was indeed kidnapped.

Ben became nervous.

Susan made so much noise that many locals saw her in the car along the way. Piecing the information together, the police quickly found out where Susan and Timothy had gone.
