You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

Chapter 1866: Captured Again

Vicki suddenly grabbed his arm, her voice softened, and it was even difficult to notice her fingers trembling slightly.

"I don't want to see those consequences. I'm genuinely worried about you. Do you understand?"

Felix, with his long arms, suddenly embraced Vicki tightly. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time. From the moment he first saw her in the hall, he had the urge to hold her in his arms, unable to resist the desire to keep her by his side and never be apart again.

"I understand. But I really don't want to be separated from you again, not even for a minute. Do you understand? I'm fine, I know the condition of my body."

Vicki leaned against Felix's embrace, feeling the warmth of his body. She let out a long sigh. "Alright. If you feel cold, you must tell me immediately."

"Mm." Felix lowered his head and gently kissed her lips, but only briefly, because there were others nearby. He didn't let his longing take over completely. He just needed to endure a little longer until everything was over. Then they could be together forever.

As they continued deeper into the mountains, Vicki suddenly frowned.

"Felix, have you smelled anything unusual?"

Felix shook his head. "I've had a cold these past few days, so I haven't smelled anything. What's wrong? Is something off?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"It feels like there's a faint smell of burning coming from up ahead, not like the smell of a wildfire." Vicki pointed diagonally ahead. "Over there, I'm sure it's that direction."

Felix furrowed his brow. "Could it be a trap? Are they intentionally leading us there? Should I signal Mr. Ball and Mr. Warner to come and join us?"

"I'm not sure, but if there's a strange smell, there must be someone. It's also possible that they are destroying something. If we hastily call Mr. Ball and Mr. Warner, it might draw too much attention. It's better if we investigate cautiously ourselves." Vicki pondered for a moment.
