Chapter 586 Another Encounter With the Boy

"I'm sure it's because there are too many people here. That is why all the fish swim toward you. Plus, you are sitting at the upper spot of the stream. So, if any fish were to come by me, they would bite onto your hook first," Yelena said confidently, seemingly as if she had known the secret of fishing. She insisted on changing her spot and began to fish again.

Three hours later, nothing happened, and Yelena was tired from all the waiting. Suddenly, something jolted her awake. Then, she noticed that the trio were surrounding her with a smile on their face.

"Aren't we fishing? Why are you guys here?"

Yelena had just awakened from her slumber and thought it was a short nap. However, as she looked at the time, she realized three hours had passed.

"Does that mean I haven't caught a single fish yet?" Yelena exclaimed.

Hank shrugged and smiled. "You have been sleeping for quite some time. The fish probably had eaten the bait and then swam away."

"What? Does that mean I lost?" Yelena hung her head low in disappointment. Suddenly, she saw Hank walking toward her with his bucket. Then, he poured all the fish from his bucket into hers.

"It's fine. I'll give you mine. There, you win."

Yelena didn't think it would be unfair to win by this method. Instead, she smiled and said happily, "Yay! I still won in the end!"

Feeling satisfied with their catch, they decided to cook the fish for dinner. While Hank and Yelena were in charge of setting up the grill, Elspeth and Callum went to collect some wood.

There was a small forest by the lake. As the duo walked deeper into the forest, Callum held Elspeth's hand tightly, afraid she would get lost. Just as they collected enough wood and were about to return, Elspeth noticed a familiar figure in front of her. As she squinted her eyes and took a closer look, she was shocked.

"It's her!"

When Callum heard her words, he followed Elspeth's gaze and saw a young woman holding a child's hand.
