When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 863

Chapter 863 Cecilia Cannot Sleep

Jessica stood outside, shivering in the cold.

She had been waiting for Zachary to call her back, but her patience was wearing thin. She walked up to Zachary’s tent, only to find that the zipper had been fastened from the inside.

Zachary had clearly fallen asleep, as the kerosene lamp had been extinguished.

She was so angry that she stomped her foot.

However, since Vivian shared a tent with Zachary, Jessica had an empty tent to sleep in. She quickly crawled inside.

Without a sleeping bag, she shivered in the cold on the mountain.

Huddled inside the tent, she barely kept herself warm with the few pieces of clothing she had brought with her.

She had never been this miserable before.

At that very moment, peculiar noises emanated from the tent next to her. It was Mason and Lucille.

“Darn it…” she cursed in exasperation.

On the other side, after Cecilia lulled the two children to sleep with a horror story, she could not for the life of her fall asleep.

Outside, the wind howled, its sound reminiscent of someone crying.
