Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 84

After a few hundred meters sprint, they finally stopped when they were sure no one was chasing after them. Eileen yanked her hand out of Egbert’s and suddenly jumped up, wrapping her arms around Egbert’s shoulders exclaiming, “Man, you’re a real pal! My efforts to protect you weren’t wasted! You’re a true friend! From now on, we’re buddies!”

Egbert turned and supported this girl by her slender waist. Looking at her bright and hearty smile, he said warmly, “Stand steadily.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Once Eileen got her footing, she touched her nose and took out two supply bags and the Second Chance Card.

Then she defiantly addressed the drone in the air, “You want me to save those two useless peeps? I’m already being merciful by not messing with them! What right do they have to be saved by me?”

The drone silently hovered in the air, watching her.

Eileen shouted again, “What are you staring at! You dared to ask Egbert to help you behind my back, do you think he’s easy to bully? He’s under my protection. Did you ask me before bullying him? Plus, we’re all guests here, why should we save them! Did they pay me? Do I look like a fool to you?”

Eileen’s rant left the drone motionless.

Eileen seemed to enjoy her rant. She held up her sniper rifle and said smugly to Egbert, “Let’s go home for dinner.”

Egbert looked at her domineering demeanor, shook his head helplessly, and followed her.

– [So they’re really not going to save Hubery and Hedy?].

– [Since the production team has found them, they will definitely handle it. Eileen is right, why should they save them, they’re all guests, not in debt to them.]

– [I have a question, is that the only thing you guys are focusing on?]

– [What else is there? In a word, I won’t let you guys morally kidnap my Eileen!]

– [Did anyone notice, the interaction between Egbert and Eileen just now was a bit intimate?]

-[So what if they were a bit intimate? They’re good friends, it’s normal for them to be close.]

-[Yeah, it’s normal for two guys to interact like this, did you female fans misunderstand Eileen’s gender again?]

– [Oh oh oh, I almost forgot, Eileen is a guy, she looks too feminine, so I keep getting it wrong. There’s nothing going on, let’s continue watching.]

When Eileen and Egbert returned to the camp, it was already bright.

Burton and Christy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them return safely. They immediately asked, “What the heck happened?”

Eileen gave a brief explanation. Burton was shocked after hearing it, “There are still cavemen???”

After a moment, he blushed and asked, “Do cavemen… really not wear any clothes?”

Eileen glanced at him, threw an empty supply bag at his head, and scolded, “Get your dirty thoughts out of your head!”

Burton, with a wronged expression, took out the supply bag and scratched his face shyly.”

Eileen ordered, “Pack the remaining supplies neatly into these two bags according to military regulations, everything must be packed, nothing can be left out!”

Upon receiving the order, Burton immediately squatted down to start packing the supplies.

Eileen went into the tent and carried out the two unconscious monkeys. Then she said to Egbert, “Bring the medical kit.”

Egbert immediately helped her fetch the medical kit.

Eileen had Egbert hold the two monkeys still while she changed their bandages. Perhaps because their wounds were painful, the two white monkeys seemed a bit listless and quietly curled up in Egbert’s arms. Egbert picked them up and gave them two pieces of fruit to slowly eat. The monkeys ate very slowly, and they didn’t seem to have much appetite.

“Actually, they shouldn’t eat at this time. They should drink more fluids.” Eileen said, sitting next to Egbert, took one of the monkeys into her arms. Then she helped the little monkey peel the fruit and let it eat the flesh.

Egbert, seeing this, also followed her lead, peeling the fruit for the little monkey in his arms and feeding it the flesh.

The two little monkeys were very well-behaved, eating a bite each time they were fed, never grabbing for more.

Christy looked up and saw this; she couldn’t help but laugh.

Eileen wiped the little monkey’s mouth with her sleeve, glanced at Christy, and casually asked, “What are you laughing at?” Christy said, “You two look like parents taking care of two children.”

Eileen paused.

Egbert calmly looked up and asked softly, “Do we really?”

Christy nodded, said, “Yes.”

At this point, Eileen suddenly said, “Then I want to be the dad.”

Eileen declared proudly, “I’ve been playing a dad before. I’m full of fatherly love!”

While she was saying this, she was also coaxing the little monkey in her arms to call her, “Call me Daddy, dad…dy.”

While Eileen was playing with the monkey, a drone flew down. The message came that the military personnel and relevant departments of Brazil were about to arrive, asking them to wait at the current location and not to leave.

After about half an hour, a helicopter hovered above their heads. The helicopter lowered three people via a ladder, one was a military escort, and two were officials from Brazil.

The subsequent negotiations didn’t take long, but while Eileen was talking with the people from the animal association, she noticed that the military man had been talking to Egbert all the time.

By rights, if there was anything the military personnel needed to inform, they should have found Burton. Why were they looking for Egbert?

After a while, those who should have left finally did, including Christy. With all the tedious matters handled, Eileen felt much more relaxed and told Egbert and Burton, “Pack up, we’re leaving.”

The three of them packed up everything left.

Ten minutes later, Eileen, carrying a large supply bag. looked at Burton carrying two bags and Egbert with nothing in his hands, and declared satisfactorily, ‘Let’s get going!”

Eileen took the lead, Egbert was in the middle, and Burton was at the back. Four hours later, the three stopped under a tall tree.

Everyone looked up together, eyeing a red ribbon flapping on the tree trunk, and below the ribbon, a monstrously huge wasp nest.

Burton stared at the nest for a long while, then he began to back away, further and further. When he could back no more, he declared with resolve, “I ain’t going, I ain’t ever going, nobody can make me!”

Eileen stroked her chin and said, “That red ribbon smells fishy, with words written on it too. It’s gotta have something to do with the map, we need to grab it.”

Burton knew he was at the bottom of the social status among the three of them. He shook his head firmly, “I ain’t going! I’d rather drop dead!”

Eileen pondered for a while. She suddenly pulled out her Second Chance Card from her backpack and hesitantly suggested, “How about we bring Elaine back to life and let her do it? If she gets stung, we’ll just pull her out and then find another Second Chance Card to bring her back? I think Egbert’s onto something, there must be more than one Second Chance Card.”

Elaine, who was nursing her wounds in the hospital while watching the live stream, was utterly gobsmacked.
