Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 708 Her Chance

“I couldn’t get through to him. At this time of the year, he’s deep inside the forest to find the herbs he needs. He doesn’t get much reception there, so we can rarely get to him. If he needs something, he’ll call us. Otherwise, I think we’ll only be able to contact him three months later.”

Oscar glanced at her through the rearview mirror and saw how conspicuous her dark eye circles were because of her fair skin. Although his heart was aching, he knew he couldn’t convince her, so he felt rather helpless.
