Luke listened to her earnest explanation. It was as if she was trying to cover up something. However, he was not able to verify what she said, so he did not say anything.

It was getting darker. Luke glanced at the time on his watch and found that it was already 11 o’clock.

Luca’s stomach started to gurgle. He immediately looked at her when he heard the sound.

Luca touched her stomach, embarrassed. The sound came from her stomach. She never thought that after a few months of living a comfortable life, her stomach would become so sensitive.

“You’re hungry?” Luke stood up, wanting to see if he could find anything to eat nearby.

There was a lot to eat in the mountains. Before it rained, he did not expect to be trapped here for so long.

“No, Mr. Crawford. Where are you going?” Luca saw him walk to the pavilion and stood up as well.

“I’ll head out to have a look. When we walked past the area today, I seemed to see a fruit forest,” Luke said.

Luca also remembered that there was a fruit forest with seasonal fruits hanging on the trees. However, it was not on the side of the mountain road but deep in the mountain. The rain was not as heavy now but the mountains at night were full of unknown dangers, especially on such a rainy and foggy day. One had to be careful when walking on the mountain road.

“Mr. Crawford, it’s dangerous to go in like this, especially when we don’t have a flashlight. It’s not a good idea to go look for food now.” She tried to persuade him to change his mind.

Luke frowned. If he left the mountain road, there would be no lights. It was indeed dangerous, but considering that she was hungry…

When he thought about how she was hungry, his subconscious reaction was to find something for her to eat.

He had always been omnipotent. In a situation like this, all he could think about was to take immediate action to find food for her.

“It’s fine,” Luke said.

Luca took out a water bottle that she had not drunk from all afternoon from her rucksack. “Mr. Crawford, I still have glucose water. Don’t go, the mountain is quite scary at night.”

She thought that to dissuade Luke from going to look for food, she could only show her weakness. His clothes were finally dry. If he went out and got under the rain again, she was afraid that his clothes would be wet the entire night.
