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.

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.
