Chapter 101 I Miss You
“Ellen, do find something weird with the forest?” Edmund asked, looking forward.
Ellen took out a compass to examine, but it couldn’t point out the orientation.
“Yeah, it is like a labyrinth. Wherever we go, we return here.” Looking around at the trees, Ellen didn’t
find anything wrong.
Edmund was very confused. Why does a forest, in which there is not even a resident, harbor such an
eerie thing?
Suddenly, Edmund thought of something and pulled his companion’s arms, “Have you ever heard of
such a forest near the Snowy Mountain?”
Looking at him in the eye, Ellen replied coldly, “No!”
But then Ellen instantly knew what his partner meant.
“You mean this is…”
The two men looked at each other, feeling a sense of horror.
Noticing it was almost dusk, Ellen hurriedly said, “Find some clearing to put up a tent, and spread sulfur
and realgar around it. I will fetch some firewood.”
“Yes, watch out for your safety.”
Edmund pitched a tent as quickly as he could and made a large circle of sulfur and realgar around it.
The evening was imminent. He picked some dry twigs and made a fire near the tent.
Darkness was coming but Ellen hadn’t returned.
Edmund was about to seek him when Ellen came back with a lot of firewood in his arms.
He was about to welcome his companion back and the latter said, “Just make a bigger fire.!” Then the
fire-wood fetcher rushed into the circle of sulfur and cast the fire-wood onto the flames. Seeing that
enough was done, he cried to Edmund, “Come into the tent!”
Edmund was scarcely in the tent when he saw numerous snakes from nowhere crawling towards him.
Ellen hurried into the shelter and zipped it.
“It turned out to be true! This strategy works! We had a narrow escape.” Edmund said to his companion
while looking at the snakes, which were deterred by the smell of sulfur.
Ellen uttered in a weak voice, “Ed, I…I…” And he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Edmund held him in his arms, in fear, “Ellen, are you okay?”
The lips of the patient turned purple.
Edmund realized that his partner was bitten by a snake.
He checked and found the wound in his shank. It was not deep, but the man would die if the venom
made its way into the blood.
Edmund took out a knife and pieces of bandage from the traveling bag.
Then binding the higher part of the patient’s leg with a piece of bandage, he cut a crossing upon the
wound and put upon it another piece of bandage.
What he did next was to suction out the poison.
After that, he bound the wound and got him a serum injection.
He didn’t feel quite safe before he finally got himself an injection too.
Then looking outside at the serpents, he suddenly thought of Rosemary and others. How about them?
Did they find a way out of this forest?
Turning his eye to the patient, he was very worried that some symptoms might develop.
“Have you found her?” Nathaniel asked the pilot through a wireless interphone.
Two days had passed but the forest was not to be seen, let alone the entrance to it.
Since he got the news that Rosemary fell off a cliff, Nathaniel hadn’t had a rest. He kept seeking the
woman and visited the very cliff several times.
“No matter what approaches you adopt, find the woman! Or don’t come back!” Snarled this man.
And he flung the phone onto the ground, his eyes saturated with red blood silk.
Vincent drove to the cliff in question after he finished his affairs.
He didn’t tell Tina this misfortune, partly because she was in a gloomy mood these days. And the Grant
family blocked this event so Tina was probably unaware of it.
He had no idea whether Tina could bear it if she knew this.
Nathaniel heard steps and shouted, “Didn’t I tell you that not to bother me?”
“It’s me.” Vincent sat beside him.
Nathaniel had a look at the comer and said in a low voice, “Why did you come here? Wait, she knew it
also?”
“No. I’ve heard you haven’t slept for days. If you remain like this, you will collapse when Rosemary
comes back.”
“I can’t sleep. I always in my dream see her clad with blood, standing in front of me and weeping
bitterly.” The man sobbed.
“Nathaniel, listen to me. Just have some sleep and I’ll let you know if we’ve some progress.” Vincent
patted his shoulders.
“No, I can’t do it! When she said that we could only be friends, I felt hurt but at least I could see her
every day. But now just to see her is a luxury. I feel broken.”
Hugging his younger brother, Vincent sighed. Why did he love a woman that he couldn’t get?
But venting out his repressed feelings made him feel better.
“Drink the milk, will you? Since you won’t pull yourself out of this, take care of your health, okay? And I
do believe in miracles.”
“Yes.” Gulping the milk, Nathaniel was about to ask about Tina when he felt dizzy and finally fainted.
The elder brother waved his hands to the retinues, “Take him back to have a rest. And tell the seekers
to continue.”
He paused a moment and added, towards a retinue clad in black, “You go abroad to invite Mr. Georges
here.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
“Acknowledged.”
Seeing off his unconscious brother taken away by his retinues, he felt quite bitter. His always carefree
younger brother should’ve tangled himself in such a relationship and couldn’t get out!
If the woman was still missing for the next few days, he hoped that Nathaniel could forget her.
